Does it fill the screen of a iPad or just the same size as iPhone screen?
Are you affiliated in any way with TradeMe?

I havent tested this on an iPad, only on iPhone and iTouch, i believe on iPad it will just simulate the iPhone you can just zoom in.
Im not affliated with TradeMe

On iTunes It says it's compatible with iPad, strange it would say that if never been tested? The zoom function from iPhone to iPad loses clarity on all the iPhone apps I've tried, not good.
Have TradeMe approached you about this yet, made you any offers?

Hi Matt,
Thanks for that info, I have to go hunt down where i can remove compatibility with iPad. This was really intended as an iphone app as the site is a real pain to navigate from the iphone, not so much via the iPad. App was only released last night so hopefully TradeMe will leave me alone as a lot of ppl has wanted a TradeMe app for a long time.

Glad to be of service. Are you sure you aren't breaching copyright by putting TradeMe's name on your app description, seeing you are not affiliated with them? Surely you would have checked this through, right?

What's the deal with username/passwords with this app, do you store them to parse the info from TradeMe? Is there a security issue with this?

Not a bad first attempt but is not offering me much more than the mobile interface to make me want to purchase (possibly put off more by the cluttered unplanned user interface)
To me the only benefit would be that searches are delivered as an apple list with inline images, and not as 5 text items at a time.
Any plans for seller features or will this be just a buyers app?
Good to see an app coming out esp in the absence of a TradeMe API, and keep at it!
Will pass for now, and look out for v2.

@DumKopf – Usernames and passwords are sent to trademe in the same way that your browser sends it (IE, Firefox etc.)
@MattD – Thanks for the feedback, at the moment im focussing on the buyers side, i've had a lot of emails from people wanting to see their Items Im Selling listings, so i may be adding that after i add in more search options.
Im interested in hearing your thoughts on the user interface, what parts do you feel are cluttered etc. and any ideas on improvement. Would love to make this as best i can, (in the absence of an API ;)
