It only took us 20 years, but Gopher is back and more beautiful than ever.
☆ Access the text-focused Gopherspace right from your iPhone or iPad in all it's ASCII glory.
★ Search over a million Gopher selectors using Veronica-2.
☆ Manage your bookmarks in a simple manner (or browse one of our supplied links).
★ Tweet your favorite Gopher links on iOS 5 and up (Warning: this mix of old and new technology may, in fact, blow your mind).
☆ Query CSO servers for phone numbers etc.
Some notes on compatibility:
★ Gopherspace is showing it's age, unfortunately. Some servers may be closed down, and some selectors will lead to nowhere.
☆ We don't support Gopher+, telnet sessions and some binary file formats. If you come across a specific site which doesn't work, please let us know using the Send Feedback option.
★ Some servers use non-standard ports (70 is the designated Gopher port). Some of those are fine but some are blocked by the OS as unsafe so cannot be accessed.
Reviews
Out of date and half finished

Don't waste your money. Doesn't display at full screen. Renders text too small. Generally bad. iPhone warns that the app is out of date when you open it, will stop working eventually. Should not be allowed in the App Store. Gopher is simple, a gopher app should be simple. This one misses the mark.
