Show HN: Quotable, an ios app to remember quotes written entirely with meteor

I just submitted a webview-driven app to the App Store and it warms my heart to see others doing the same. This seems like a neat tool, however I am unable to get past the sign up screen on either my Moto X or my iPod Touch...the large "Sign up" button doesn't seem to do anything. Am I doing something wrong?
I think the important here was to learn how to make an app suitable to all platforms (almost feeling as native) in a fraction of the time using meteor, a powerful new tool. The oportunities will come to use it in a useful way. I'm all-in with meteor also. Keep the good work.
Hey there, I'm the author of quotable (unfortunately not the one responsible for the awesome design), if anyone has any feedback it'd be much appreciated!
adn, it would be best to delete your other 'Show HN' dupe:

How would you convince me to put yet another app on my phone, as opposed to just jotting this down in Evernote[1]? What advantage does your app have over Quotebook[2]? Good looking app!

The background image on your site is just excellent. I had a bit of fun
trying to figure out where it was taken. I noticed the UK style cab
first, then the "Superdry" company name with "*gent Street", and then
finally the pub, "Leicester Arms" (Note to self: next time, try notice
the pub first :-).
I gave the goog: "Superdry on Agent st., Leicester, UK" and it gave me:
Though I'm sure you want to clearly display your green "q" icon, on initial page load it's on a line all by itself on the bottom. At first, in this world of single-page sites, it's not immediately obvious there's worthwhile text (marketing copy) below-the-fold. I would change two things:
1.) Put the "q" icon to the left of the "Great Friends Say Great Things" text, so both the text and the icon are visible.
2.) Make the "q" icon a clickable link to your itunes page.
The above are just ideas, hopefully someone with more experience on site/conversion design could validate whether they're good ideas.

Did you mean: Superdry on Regent st., Leicester, UK

And again one of these one singe-page sites without any real information about the product. Maybe it's only me but I like to know more about something before clicking through follow-up links.
How about some screenshots, if your app looks good you shouldn't hide it. Or something about the people behind it?
Some weeks ago 'Show HN' featured a email service that somehow fixed all problems with email (or so), I went on the website and would have needed to log in before getting more information about the whole thing...
But enought ranting (and sorry about that): The app looks really neat and I like the idea.
