Designer News
Where the design community meets.
almost 7 years ago from Sam Soffes, Developer & Designer at Nothing Magical
I actually use the app almost daily. When i had a crappy web view that launched safari (I use Chrome) I never wanted to read anything.
Makes the experience way better
So the website is crap, build an app?
Gilt has a mobile website
EBay has a mobile website
Google Maps has a mobile website
Yelp has a mobile website
Twitter has a mobile website
Rdio has a mobile website
Website isn't equal to App for so many types of technology companies. None of the above sites are crap, it's that the native app experience isn't achievable on a website.

Where the design community meets.
Designer News is a large, global community of people working or interested in design and technology.
Have feedback?
Out of interest, why would you build an app for a very simple news listing website? I'm sure there's some sort of internal reason but I'd love to hear why an app for only iOS users would make much sense?
