People here usually say that Apple removes 4chan apps because they can be used to access NSFW content

As of a few days ago the Reddit official app has been released and it still hasn't been taken down.

However, other reddit apps have been

https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/4ee4qt/apple_pulls_thirdparty_reddit_clients_for_nsfw/

Some speculation in the discussion is that the official reddit app requires you to tick that you're over 18 to see NSFW content.

Does anyone here have a 4chan iOS app that they can implement this on and try it out?

4chan mobile interface is such a fucking pain

Of course this could just be bullshit and reddit is having all the other apps removed because they want everyone to use theirs

The other apps had this too.
They were told to remove the switch completely and never show nsfw content.
>>
>>53998467
u can't
u cant do even the most basic shit
hey guys check out this pathetic retard who is actually defending the dumbed down, useless abomination that is ios hahahaha
>>
>>53998444
The mobile interface is just fine, what's your problem faglord

It's even better after Installing adblock plus
>>
yeah well apple wants the reddit audience
>>
>>53998489
??? not that guy but webms play perfectly fine
>>
>>53998465
>>53998472

Uh. I hate to break it to you buddy, but you've been able to view webm files on iOS for about a year now.
>>
Why doesn't someone just make a 4chan app with all NSFW boards disabled? Who gives a shit about those.
>>
>>53998505
>>53998467
Are you guys doing this natively?

If I click a webm in Safari (latest iOS) it doesn't load. I have to have an external app.
>>
>>53998505
I didn't even say anything about webm's fag
>>
>>53998513

This. Why not just request that the user manually adds the boards themselves. It's like how a web browser doesn't actually show porn unless the user enters the website's address.
>>
>>53998530
That's what Clover did, and look where it got him.

>>
>>53998524
I need an external app too on android
>>
>>53998530
>>53998539
How about just removing all the NSFW boards and not letting the users add boards?

Only kids browse NSFW boards anyway.
>>
>>53998539

Dang. I guess the alternative would be to compile the iOS app yourself.

>>53998553

That's a good idea. Though it seems that Google doesn't approve of 4chan in its entirety; worksafe boards or not. I suppose Apple would reach the same conclusion.
>>
>>53998444
Don't you just love paying this much money for a phone and you don't even get to decide what apps to put on it?

iPhones are definitely /g/ material.
>>
>>53998608
What apps I want to install are definitely my choice.
>>
>>53998617
Then why don't you have a 4chan app installed?
>>
>>53998639
There isn't one on the marketplace and I haven't jailbroken my phone.
>>
>>53998662
So, then again.

Don't you just love paying this much money for a phone and you don't even get to decide what apps to put on it?

You don't even have to break warranty to install non-market apps on an Android.
>>
>>53998676
It's definitely my decision as to what apps I put on the phone.

I think you might need to go back and study a little English, junior.
>>
>>53998685
Faggot you know what he meant. You can't install shit if it's not in the store without going to mayor trouble. iOS is a jailed, restricted os.
>>
>>53998685
So you decided to put Safari on it right? Apple Maps? iBooks? FaceTime? iTunes? And what if you don't want them on your phone?
Oh yeah, you don't get to decide.

Even if you're trying to ruse me by taking my words too literally, you're still wrong.

It's just so mindboggling to me that people who identify as "tech interested" unironically use iPhones.
I have nothing against iPhones as a general usage device, but for people interested in technology it should be the last resort considering how locked down it is, even after jailbreak.
>>
>>53998729
I wouldn't call jailbreaking major trouble. It takes like 2 minutes.

>>53998770
Can hide them (non jailbreak)
Can remove them (jailbreak)

Same situation with Android
>>
>>53998770
>I have nothing against iPhones as a general usage device, but for people interested in technology it should be the last resort considering how locked down it is, even after jailbreak.

Android is simply too shit
>>
>>53998547
Maybe for old ass Android versions, pretty much anything after 4.4.4 can into webm natively, maybe earlier versions can too but I don't remember

They have already done it, shit still gets pulled
>>53998553
Not gonna work since sometimes NSFW leaks into blue boards, even if it's just some random weeb shit it still triggers them, the only way to get it to stay would be to completely remove access to any 4chan board
>>
What do you guys mean there is no ios 4chan app? I use "chan for 4chan" since a year or so. It's piece of shit but it's better than the webversion...
>>
>>53998993
It's literally a webview wrapper.
>>
>>53999000
it's literally a double set of trips. checked

>Open safari, browse website, shitpost.
Almost broke a sweat, people bitching about "apps" when none is necessary are the bane of tech.
What's the problem, can't browse without filters? Maybe you need a filter for life as well to function.
>>
>>53998918
webm is a format pushed by Google, so that's a retarded complaint. it's like complaining that Android doesn't natively display icns files.
>>
>>53998513
Because people post NSFW content on SFW boards too.
>>
>>53998553
Clover was removed because of /a/, a blue board.
>>
>>53999764
bullshit.
>>
>>53999676
The issue is more that the mobile interface is pretty fucking shit. Apps like overchan or dashchan provide a much better interface.

Any browser can be used to access NSFW content.

>>
>>53998444
No, the new guidelines state that they don't want there to be a way to even access NSFW content
>>
>>53999865
The mobile interface asides of not showing the file details, is exactly the same as desktop. I just don't see the fuss.

I made a barebones 4chan iOS app a while ago to test it out

image loading is basically shit compared to using a browser, but text browsing can be good

it takes more time and apps have less cache to work with compared to safari. I did however get webms to play using OGVkit (ffmpeg based videoplayer)

I also had autism over CPU usage, so it wasn't that efficient since each post in a thread was a new table cell (300+ cells) and iOS will dynamically load/delete each cell out of view. I don't know how to make it so you can make a table with all cells loaded (saves cpu usage since you can just go up and down without load/deleting cells)

really 4chan just needs an upgraded mobile site
>>
>>54000010
the CPU usage spikes also happened because each cell was a html thingy (forgot the name) to preserve text formatting (greentext) and links to posts

maybe also because it was a custom cell as well
>>
>>53999993
The desktop interface is shit, too, without Appchan X or any other fork of 4chan X.
>>
>>53998444
Anon click here, use desktop site scaled for mobile. Use old captcha and custom board list.

You must be 18 or older to use 4chan in general.
>>
>>53999710
Isn't webm open source? I think you are rewarded
>>
>>53998524
I just tried. It opened in VLC, no slower or quicker than android, about the same speed really.

>not using the Innovative Live Photos™
>>
Floens is a retard. He should have added no boards by default like the other 4chan apps. Instead he whines and refuses to so that.

>>54003620
You should read about Live Photos. It's an interesting concept and not just making a webm.
>>
>>54003847

If he made no boards by default then all the retards would leave shit reviews because they can't figure out how to add boards. He added a few blue boards, including /a/ which had porn on it when google reviewed it.
>>
>>54003847
Well, it worked for 2 years before it suddenly became not ok.
>>
>>53998547
Even on android 3.9 it's natively supported
>>
Throw that shit phone away.
Buy a android phone.
Download fdroid / clover.

Be comfy.
>>
>>54003961
He could leave instructions for how to add boards.

He also resubmitted the app without /a/ and it was taken down because another board had porn on it too.

>>54004012
Floens said that it was luck that they didn't come across porn through casual browsing.
>>
>>53998444
**SPOILER ALERT** Fucking safari can access NSFW content too
>>
we dont want a 4chan app for anything. normies use phones for the internet, and such an app will bring more normies and newfags here.

denied.
