You'll need an App.net account in order to use Pika. App.net is a new, advertising-free social network and Pika is an iPhone client for it.

Pika puts a big emphasis on minimal interface and speed. While you're browsing, the interface gets completely out of your way. It's just you and the posts you're reading.

There's a lot to discover. Here are a few highlights:

- Innovative interface that hides all navigation while you're reading posts -- there's nothing to distract you.
- Push notifications for mentions, reposts, follows, and stars
- Fast updating
- Offline reading and browsing support throughout the app
- Gap detection and filling - catch any posts you missed after being away for a while
- Stream Marker support for syncing your read position between clients
- Full support for native reposting!
- View mentions or starred posts for any user
- Quickly see which posts have locations or attached images while browsing
- Post images via built in CloudApp support
- Attach your location to a post
- ...and much more!
