Hi, Just keeping the momentum going. This release brings default sorting options for posts and an improved image viewer.

Still on the hunt for a new app icon, if you know a designer please let me know!

Changelog:

  • Added default sorting option for posts
  • Added better image viewer
  • Adjusted Drawer header text colour for legibility
  • Make swipe actions slightly more responsive
  • Fix an SSL issue on Android 7
  • Added block user and community options to the post card three dot menu
  • Fixed a text ovelap issue for long display names
  • Added an expand option to Profile options and some swipe animations to make things look nice
  • Added message button to person views
  • Fixed an issue with fullwidth card height
  • Added a divider when viewing fullwidth card posts
  • When signed in a guest there is now a sign out button

Note: as of writing this post 1.0.44 is still publishing in Google Play. If you're on 1.0.43 the only different is a bug in the image view where the three dot menu wasn't showing up.

I have a request for something that is making the app sometimes unusable for me. If I'm replying to a comment that is long, the keyboard will cover the text box that I'm typing in. There's no way to scroll (that I'm aware of here) to bring the text box back above the keyboard, so I'm having to constantly minimize the keyboard to review what I'm typing and if I need to go back and change something somewhere in the text it's a nightmare making sure I click on the exact spot in the text that I need to edit.

Fix that and this app is golden.

Experiencing the same problem on Android. I can work around it, and it forces me to be more succinct.

Granted the work around is mostly as described above, minimize the keyboard to read what I've written, and then pay close attention to the autocorrect suggestions as I write.

It got way too annoying to deal with and the way inbox notifications are displayed isn't my favorite, so I'm using Liftoff now. I'm sure all of these apps are going to be changing quite a bit in the coming months, so I'll keep using them all to watch them grow.

How would you prefer to see inbox notifications?

Also the issue with long comments is now resolved on 1.0.46.

Something on the main app page would be nice. With your app I have to remember to open the side tab to notice if the inbox icon has changed color and end up forgetting all the time.

App is great though and I'll give it a go now that the reply is fixed.

Thanks for the feedback! That will be fixed in the next release.
