Ask DN: What do you want in a Designer News iOS app?

    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?

      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.
