TapMode iPhone Development

Well I resubmitted News Addict. I also went ahead and put it at 12+ rating. Maybe its for the best as I had a couple of bug fixes since the original submission that will be included provided of course that it actually makes it through the approval process.

I spent a good day figuring a way to make the BBC news website text bigger.  I have more functionality in my app than other similar news apps so that’s what caused this trouble in the first place.  You will notice in my app that if you go to a full size page you have the ability to pinch, zoom and double tap around the page like with mobile safari.  The other news apps as far as I know, can’t do this.  But as a side effect it causes the BBC page to look wrong because the BBC didn’t design their page properly for the iPhone.  Well after a day of trying a bunch of ideas, I finally got it working.  Anyway it’s little stuff like this that the average user would have no concept that anything special had to be done.  I also want News Addict to be the best browser for mobile content so it’s why I refused to sacrifice functionality anywhere even if you may not use the pinch and zoom features now.  I believe many more users will need this functionality once I allow the ability to add your own news sites.
