   On iOS I have been using Felix. It may be a non trivial amount of money, but is excellent (especially for a v1) - very polished. The other popular option is rivr, which has a slightly different take on things, and maybe not as pretty as oth

   Was at the launch yesterday evening, and got an early look at the code last week ... This looks really good, can't wait to move our existing projects over.
