United StatesOut of date
As of July 2023, this app on recent iPhone OS freezes. Will work for awhile but chokes on links and lack of stop feature means it spins in perpetuity trying to do something it cannot get done.
United StatesYes, it's a gopher client
The internet needs more gopher clients of this quality. Highly recommended for all mobile users.
United StatesCrashes on iOS 16
Scroll for a while tabs it will crash to Home Screen. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ for taking the time to even bother with a Gopher client on iOS 😊.
United StatesVery nice
This Gopher client appears to be one of the few, if not the only available on the App Store. There isn’t much to compare it to. It is great to be able to experience Gopherspace, but navigation can be cumbersome. When loading a text post, going back, loading another text post, then going back again, then once again going back, the first text post then loads a second time. Each previously-loaded text post will reload when attempting to go back to the parent directory. Otherwise, this app is great!
United StatesExcellent
This is a nice Gopher client that is easy on the eyes and simple to use. I suggest adjusting the text size in settings to match your screen in portrait mode. The ability to display images is terrific, but I can’t seem to download other file types. Add that feature and it will be perfect.
United States
This is a small update that improves the display of menus that contain non-standard document types.
