Hi zppix e,
We have been wanting to release an iOS app, but it depends entirely on
whether we are able to get an iOS developer on board, either as a volunteer
or paid (if we are able to obtain additional funding). The current team is
unfortunately all Android developers.
Do you know anyone who might be interested? :)
Best regards,
Josephine
