Quoting Mr.Bishop:
"We are 100% conscious that the mobile experience of newschoolers needs some love. It is on our agenda this summer to address, though the specifics of how we'll handle that strategy are as of yet unknown."

So I guess just be patient, and in time it will happen :)

Instead of building an App we are focusing on making the mobile experience awesome so that everyone can have the same usage ov NS no matter what device you use to access the site. We've decided it is better to focus resources this way than an App that only works on one device and requires constant maintenance.

Yeah, I think it was called iNS and the mobile version of the site was better so they ditched it.

seriously. one of the best sites for mobile, especially among forums. I don't need or want yet another app that takes up space and has to update every 3 days.

tweak it a bit and it's perfect

Though this is true... I'm the iPhone user on staff and sometimes the lack of app even makes me want to blow my brains out.

You can definitely tell that iOS doesn't like the idea of 'web apps'.

Regardless, as Chris said we're going to make sure that the web experience is dialed in for everyone. App isn't off the table, but there's a lot of re-factoring to make something that is quality.

The last app was a mistake. It was built by someone who wanted to try their first app, and it was layered on top of a totally unstable infrastructure. Needless to say these factors do not lead to a successful long-term run at it.
