In order to get up to speed with the people that are coming here without TestFlight, I’ve submitted a build to Apple with all of the current features and fixes.

I’d anticipate this to take about 24 hours, but it’s possible it will be reviewed today. Apple is weird. I’ve had things get approved in like 8 hours on Saturdays before, so there’s a chance it will happen today. I’ll update you all when that happens.

Improvements and additions:

  • New icon and options for changing icon color
  • New and improved swipe animation (by the way, this is better than the last update wink)
  • Improvements to image viewer (double tap works now too)
  • Performance enhancments throughout the app
  • Hide read posts
  • Images in comments
  • Collapsible posts
  • Default comment sort
  • All of the “Top” sort options
  • Show a loading modal while downloading images
  • Added a manage accounts button to accounts dropdown
  • Add option for reader in webview
  • Settings improvements
  • Added embark theme
  • Added buttons in comments for upvoting and replying
  • Adjustments to splashscreen
  • Username doesn’t link to user profile in compact mode now
  • Add option to use the default browser instead of in-app browser

Fixes:

  • Fix issues with toast not changing color or disappearing
  • Fix cake day showing the wrong year
  • Fix issue where links with an internal IP address would ask for permission to local network
  • Fix issues with account disappearing after app launch
  • Read icon now uses the correct color
  • Fix crash caused when pressing Matrix links
  • Fix crash when searching for a community with an @ at the end

If any of these issues are bothering you now, rest assured they will be fixed for you quite soon.

      The code is open sourced under a public license. The developer doesn’t own the code any more than you do. If they added ads someone could just fork it and remove them.

      That said, running a large open source project is difficult and frustrating. Any donations they receive will likely be a pittance compared to what they would make spending that time coasting in a corporate dev job. Send them a few bucks as a thank you: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/gavink
