    Interesting, this seems to have taken quite a bit of UI inspiration from Android design patterns.

    - Branding in the titlebar, left aligned. I must admit, I really dislike this trend.

    - Side-scrolling tab/pill menu for subscribe, hot, new, rising, etc. This is not so bad.

    - Popover menu, very Android like, although on the other side.

    I would love to be able to click a button to "save offline" a specific subreddit (or my front page). I take the subway to work and don't have reliable access to the internet when I'm underground.

    Is that something you have planned? That feature alone would be worth the upgrade for lots of people (at least here in NYC) I am sure!

    Looks nice, I'm about to install and have a look.

    Does it have access to mod tools?

    Does it allow people to view the sidebar?

    How easy is it to run alt accounts with narwhal?

    This looks great. I've never been happy with the other iOS applications for Reddit, Narwhal will probably be my default Reddit application now.

    I like the illustrative design a lot. Other apps are so plain and boring flat iOS7 while this app has personality :) Well done!

    I really like the smart contextual interactions. I am looking forward to the iPad app.

    Nice job. I really like the ease of swiping to up vote, down vote, and save.

    Looks great, looking forward to using this app from day to day

    Are you planning on an iPad version as well?
