a "first and only rsync client on ios" claim on your page doesn't hold water as rsync has been in repos since the earliest days of apt/dpkg being ported to ios. 2008?

the amount of ways apple scuttled basic file features in ios is really something. from limiting files to a sandbox only avilable to a particular app to not compiling nfs or cifs into the kernel, to inventing new app-specific file-streaming things using undocumented UDP protocols..

Thanks for pointing that out. I changed it to "the first and only rsync client in the App Store".

As an ios developer I completely agree with you. I was only interested in making rsync work on iphone/ipad for everyone but because of many ios limitations I had to spent much much more time coding the viewer.
