The design is too custom for me. E.g. the custom font looks out of place on iOS. The custom navigation controls too.


Thanks for the feedback! The app does let you change the font (right now it's locked behind the IAP but I can include the iOS default San Fransisco font in the free in an update). Do you think I should make it the default font?


I would prefer UIFont.systemFont by default. I like apps that blend in with the OS nicely instead of “native websites”.


Today’s update makes SF the default font! It also adds settings to change the font size for story title, text and metadata. There will also be another update tomorrow available which will also add ability to edit the padding around elements to make it as compact as you like which lets you see more content on screen. Check out the screenshots of what it would look like after tomorrow’s update (note that all sizes will be fully customizable to your liking):

Ok, I will change it in an update tomorrow!


+1 for San Francisco :)


Made it the default in the update to be available tomorrow!


If you want a more native looking one give Octal a try. https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/octal/id1308885491?mt=8
