I like it. Given the absence of a Stack Overflow app, this works perfectly. However I have a few suggestions.1) make it more vertical-view friendly.as it is right now, it is difficult to see pages and explore tags while browsing on vertical mode. It is still readable but I just think it could be more readable.2) add push notifications.for someone who plans to use this a lot, I think it would be very useful to be notified when someone responds to your question or answer. That way I don’t have to keep opening and closing the app while waiting for a response.Thank you for making this app so useful and good to use! Would definitely be 5-star if not for these suggestions.
Would it be possible to add other stack exchange sites?

Title. This app is great for surfing stack overflow but I sometimes feel like it can do much more given the ability to surf every stack exchange website. Please add this feature.EDIT: Hi, thanks for the reply. With the latest update I am able to view Math SE, but it’s difficult to use it because Latex is not implemented in the app at all. Without latex Math SE is almost useless in the app.
Developer Response
Hi there, thank you for your feedback.With the latest update (2.0.0) the ability to reach other sites has been improved a lot. Is there any particular channel you would like? I’ll add the ability to ask for more features/channels inside the app very soon.
Great only for subscribers

This app is functionally great. I can search up any question and it will come up, but I also like to help people and wish I could post questions and answers without paying for premium. I think that’s a bit outrageous.
Good start

I’d love to see an app like this flourish. But in its current state it simply feels half baked. The font choice seems very wrong for any iOS app, and there’s some odd scaling / display issues. Also, tapping the Home Screen widgets doesn’t open the post they’re showing, which is rather annoying because they always show exciting posts. I’d gladly tip the developer if these issues were resolved as I’m sure other people would.
What’s New:
• Improved onboarding experience with helpful updates and final polish
• Enhanced support for math content (MathJax updates)
• Removed confusing free trial warning
