[QUOTE=TehWhale;29976360]goldies should get free access to the app[/QUOTE] yes, give shitposters the TehWhale free access to the app. good idea.
[QUOTE=Bigby Wolf;29976374]It's only bullshit because you're denying that any past builds could have been slow. I already said that it was a past build and not the current one. [editline]21st May 2011[/editline] I literally [b]JUST[/b] said that I would pay for it if I was wrong due to the lack of titles. Why would I say that I'll pay if I want to get into a free beta?[/QUOTE] It's bullshit because there is no record of your account ever using it, and it sounds like you just want to be special and get early access to the app
[QUOTE=deloc;29976394]yes, give shitposters the TehWhale free access to the app. good idea.[/QUOTE]look at your ban history compared to mine
[QUOTE=deloc;29976394]yes, give shitposters the TehWhale free access to the app. good idea.[/QUOTE] ahohohohoho
[QUOTE=Bigby Wolf;29976374]It's only bullshit because you're denying that any past builds could have been slow. I already said that it was a past build and not the current one.[/QUOTE] So let's assume you really have used the app (hint: you haven't), you're saying it was a past build, and so even if it was slow, I've just proved above using the video that it's not now. Like I said though, by the time we got to a beta stage, all the performance issues were gone. The problems we had in the beta were crashes and UI bugs, all fixed now.

I'm still standing on the ground that it's just as efficient to use the mobile browser.[/QUOTE] I think you're being unreasonable. I can't answer that question, but it's obvious that your endgame is to try and make Hexxeh give you access to this app now for whatever reason.

Wait for the app to come out and use the free trial if you doubt it so much
[QUOTE=AntoniD;29976466]Watch the videos. It is really fast, I didn't even know it was that fast. Wait for the app to come out and use the free trial if you doubt it so much[/QUOTE] It's actually faster than that, the video recording is a bit slow. Can't find any good ways of doing app demo videos that don't slow it down so much.
[QUOTE=BobbyDigital;29976412]I think you're being unreasonable. I can't answer that question, but it's obvious that your endgame is to try and make Hexxeh give you access to this app now for whatever reason.[/QUOTE] I asked to be able to use it once to show that it's improved. I never said I want permanent access, once I either prove or disprove myself, I really couldn't give a shit if he lets me keep using it. Though if it IS good, I probably would keep using it if he allowed it.

No one is this thread agreed with you. You have done nothing but said "Why make everyone pay for this app, it's not worth it. I used an earlier build. If you want me to say it's not a waste of money give me special early access so I can say i'm wrong" Why can't you wait like everyone else before passing judgement on something you a) have no info about or b) have OUTDATED info on.

Honestly, it's just because I'm an argumentative person and I vent anger via arguing. However I DID still use the app, and it did still suck when I used it.

[QUOTE=Bigby Wolf;29976530]Wrong, I think one guy agreed me when I first started posting :smug:[/QUOTE] That makes all the difference, doesn't it? Yet there are alot more who are anticipating this release more positively.

If anyone wants numbers on data usage, as of a few minutes ago, the first page of GD had 154 kilobytes of HTML alone (this doesn't include all the images and JS it loads, with these it's probably over 500 kilobytes at least). Loading the first page of GD in the app uses just 12 kilobytes. First page of this thread HTML? 325 kilobytes. In the app? 66 kilobytes.

[QUOTE=Bigby Wolf;29976574]I really would have thought that :smug: would be an acceptable fill in for a sarc mark.[/QUOTE] What's with your sudden change in attitude exactly? Did you realise your arguments failed?
[QUOTE=Antdawg;29976638]What's with your sudden change in attitude exactly? Did you realise your arguments failed?[/QUOTE] I realized it a few pages back, it isn't hard to pick out people that can be persuaded to change their views from those who can't. I was just being sarcastic because he said that nobody was agreeing with me even though a whopping one person sided with me for all of 1 or 2 posts
One of the beta users did a demo on an iPhone 3G here too: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frEjmWvr1Es[/url] If you remember how slow an iPhone 3G was, that's pretty amazing. However that's version 1.4, and we're on 2.0 for the App Store release, so there have been massive changes/improvements since that video was made. There's a comparison side by side with Safari on the end. [sp]It kicks Safari's ass[/sp]
[QUOTE=Hexxeh;29976578]First page of this thread HTML? 325 kilobytes.[/QUOTE] after ungzipping
[QUOTE=deloc;29976692]after ungzipping[/QUOTE] Same for the API request I logged, all figures were without GZIP. Awaiting garry enabling GZIP for the API.
also, the first page of this thread is 100kb less for me (ungzipped of course). i'm guessing your extra 100kb is usergroup specific stuff like quickadmin.
[QUOTE=deloc;29976741]also, the first page of this thread is 100kb less for me (ungzipped of course). i'm guessing your extra 100kb is usergroup specific stuff like quickadmin.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I can't be bothered logging into another account. The app one was done on my mod account too, though. Plus once quickadmin is in the app, it wouldn't add any extra data to what we need to download. Such is the beauty of a native application.
Still debating if or not I'm going to get this, $5 seems very steep considering how little use I'd get out of it and it's limited feature set. It's a nifty and well made looking app though, don't get me wrong. ..Eh, I'll probably get it so long as there's still updates in the works.
[QUOTE=deloc;29976741]also, the first page of this thread is 100kb less for me (ungzipped of course). i'm guessing your extra 100kb is usergroup specific stuff like quickadmin.[/QUOTE] With gzip, first page of thread is 57 kilobytes. I've just tested the app version with gzip, and it's 28 kilobytes. Less than half, and in reality, way less than half since the web version loads a whole bunch of images and scripts too. With all images and scripts included, the last page of this thread loads around 650 kilobytes in a browser for me. Loading the last page in the application uses 34 kilobytes. If you have a 500MB data allowance (this is pretty standard in the UK), and we assume the previous figures are average for a page, here's how it breaks down: Using the browser, you could load about 788 pages. Using the app, you could load around 15008 pages. That's 19x as many pages for the same amount of data.
Can it load images?
[QUOTE=The Aussie;29977130]Can it load images?[/QUOTE] Not yet, but once it does, they'll be tap to load, so they won't waste your bandwidth if you don't want to see them unlike on Safari.
[QUOTE=Hexxeh;29977156]Not yet, but once it does, they'll be tap to load, so they won't waste your bandwidth if you don't want to see them unlike on Safari.[/QUOTE] Definitely a step up from stopping the page from loading the images once the rest is loaded, pretty annoying to have to do that each time.
I probalby won't be buying this since I don't have or want an ithing.
