Disqus, the USV portfolio company that powers the comments/community here at AVC, released an iOS app this past week. You can download it here.
The Disqus mobile app has two primary features.
The first is the ability to follow channels and discover content and conversations in those channels.
Here’s a screenshot of my home tab which features this discovery capability:
The second primary feature, and possibly more interesting to the AVC community, is the notifications tab where you see your comments and related activity:
I have found that Disqus works really well on the mobile web now (a big improvement over where it was a few years ago) and so I mostly review and respond to comments in line in the browser, but it’s nice to have this mobile app to be able to read and respond quickly to all of your activity.
I expect that Disqus will follow with an Android app in due course and I also believe they will add features for the publishers (ie me) into these mobile apps as well.
