V2EX, the native way

A complete V2EX client: home feed, nodes, search, notifications and your profile — all there. Topic bodies and replies use carefully tuned typography, so even the longest threads stay comfortable to read.

Feed

Fast and quiet

A native UIKit list that scrolls at full frame rate. Silent refresh updates only the rows that changed — no full-page flicker, and nothing pushes away what you are reading.

Reading

Tuned for long threads

Quotes, code and images each get their place. The OP's follow-ups, favorites, thanks and reply quotes are all within reach.

Nodes

Nodes at a glance

Browse hot and newly created nodes to find your circles. Post directly from any node page.

Search

Search that keeps up

Node suggestions appear as you type. Rank results by relevance or by time, and jump back to recent searches in one tap.

Inbox

Notifications and profile

Mentions and reply notifications in one place, plus your profile, favorites and follows.
