I'm happy to announce that Apple has finally approved my FREE iPhone/iPod Touch application for DailyKos, "Kossack Reader". I received plenty of helpful feedback from several Kossacks who acted as beta testers. I want to thank all of them for all the time they spent using the application and giving me feedback on how it could be improved.
Download Kossack Reader from the iTunes App Store!

Some features that are in the works for the future are:
- Comments / Commenting
- Rating / Recommending
- Composing diaries
- Twitter Integration
- Saving posts as favorites for future reference
- Cached storage so you can still access the site when you have no network access.
I realize its a fairly simple application right now. Its a basic reader for the site, but its quick, efficient and makes it very easy to browse the site and read the articles & diaries when you just don't have the patience to wait for the full dailykos.com to load in Mobile Safari.
When those additional features will be delivered, I can make no guarantee. Some of it depends on the progress of DK4 and some of it depends on Apple. For some absolutely ridiculous reason, it took Apple almost 7 WEEKS!!! to approve my application and they refused to give me any explanation for the delay.
