"We've raised the issue with the Daily Beast's tech team. We'll keep you posted. But it's one of our highest priorities."
Would you say it's your Number Two priority?
Heh. Another suggests a short-term solution:
For those that want to read The Dish on the crapper, but don't have an app, I have three letters: RSS.
Another:
I read the Dish every morning on my subway commute using an RSS reader that downloads all of my favorite blogs locally to my iPhone and iPad. It's called "Pulse". My brother is an intern on the development team. It's awesome, very easy to use, and incredibly intuitive.
Another:
I use the free (ad-supported) version of MobileRSS on an iPhone. The Dish on MobileRSS is just as easy to navigate and read as it was on the Atlantic app, and the former is more stable to boot (so far).
Another:
A great RSS reader: Netvibes – which I can access from my fairly restrictive work site, and which has a cool mobile version (for reading in the subway, on the crapper, etc.)

A big thank you to the reader who suggested that I can still get my fix of the Dish at work – despite my employer's block on the Beast – by accessing your content through RSS. I'm using Google Reader and it works beautifully. Also, my shakes are gone.
