Why so angry?

Google's current iOS apps are great, the previous releases, the ones with heavy HTML use, were definitely not. I don't think they would be shocked by this, a guess supported by the fact that they have new, completely different ones.

It's wrong for Sencha to force the bounce where it doesn't belong, but that's not what I was referring to and the physics are wrong on iOS too.

I'm not angry, you're just confused.

>Google's current iOS apps are great, the previous releases, the ones with heavy HTML use, were definitely not

I'd check again (they're still largely html5).

>but that's not what I was referring to and the physics are wrong on iOS too.

Right, but that's because they're completely hijacking the scroll behavior to be able to do the "fancy" inertial and bounce scrolling...

I like how you two make claims with no data to back them up. You both don't know how "native" or how "html5" the app is.

Haha. Jesus this whole thread was a disaster I should've stayed away from. It's a bunch of people who don't know what they're talking about spewing years old tropes about HTML that aren't even true.

Gmail, Google+ are both HTML wrappers on iOS. I'm not sure what to tell you, those are well known facts, easily confirmed with half an ounce of Googling.

You keep being needlessly harsh and bitter, that’s not exactly something that invites me to continue a conversation.
