Gopher Client

This client has taken the lead in the race for mobile gopherspace access. If you get frustrated by restricted bandwidth, Gopher is your friend. This app will get you the groovy goods, all the info you need with minimal bit overhead. Yes, the dev added bookmarks! Still not in folders, but this is a basic help to anyone using Gopher on the regular. This client now prefers an explicit port in the IP address, usually being 70. I don't remember it always doing this. But just add it to the address after the domain with a colon. Please keep it up! I use Gopher for regular lookups on Gopherpedia and Groundhog Weather, as well as nifty phlogs.

If you just care about accessing Gopher servers then this’ll work for you. However it has some frustrating UX/design decisions that could likely easily be addressed: 1) landscape view does not account for newer phones with notches on the screen. If you few pages horizontally (usually formats better than reflowed portrait mode) your text will be covered by the notch. 2) Swiping and gestures are not supported. Avoiding having to press navigation buttons is a huge deal in usability and comfort. I expect it in programs like this as much as I do in a web browser. Apart from those two frustrations this is a great way to experience the gopherspace.

An excellent journey into gopherspace on the go. The joy of text and simplicity is brought into the touchscreen world without sacrificing the interface that we dig. Looking forward to sharing this app as I add my own gopher hole in the gopherspace.

This is your go-to Gopher client for iOS. Thank you to the developers for making this. Edit: where has Gopher been all my life?

Pure joy! Best Gopher client I’ve used in years! Phurreal, so much win. iOS has finally come of age! .... now if we could just get Pine and Lynx on board.
