Ah. I'm not super familiar with that "bug" - is it that "touchmove" events don't get fired for single-finger scrolling (panning)?

Perhaps you could make it work (albeit less gracefully) in iOS by reconciling the header visibility state once "touchend" finally gets fired though? Assuming "touchstart" gets fired as you'd expect, you can do a bit of manual calculation to determine if the y-position changed enough to warrant header hide/show.

To be honest, when i first developed the library I didn't have an iOS device I could test with, so just went with the simplest solution (that is, not do anything :D). Also, I'd always kind of viewed it as a progressive enhancement - if it doesn't work, it's still a fully functional header.

However, now that I have an iOS device (which is still charging!), I should spend some time seeing if I can get it to work better there. I'll look at various touch events as you suggest. Currently it only listens to the scroll event
