Known issues:

  • Post photo upload doesn’t work
  • Haptics needed in many places
  • Saving a photo crashes

Thanks!

    so awesome, since memmy became very unstable.

    Just found one curiosity, if you post something new it would be great if it opens the keyboard directly. At the moment you still have to to an additional tap to on the comment area to bring up the keyboard!

    Otherwise amazing work!

        They’re in the middle of rewriting a lot of it, so it has been unstable, and a bunch of features have gone missing, like being able to jump directly to replies in your inbox.

        I’m sure things will get better, but it still kinda sucks in the meantime.

          Oh yeah, I’ve noticed that myself. I can’t blame ‘em, of course (it takes A LOT of work to make a good app) and it’s a beta release so it’s obviously gonna be buggy…but it does kinda suck for the beta testers who also wanted a halfway functional app.

        I used it for an hour and immediately ran into issues that cripple the daily usage. It is a good project though with great themes, I hope it continues.

    What’s everyone’s experience so far? Mine:

    • haptics are nice
    • status bar tap is very welcome
    • the back swipe issues seems to be a bit better, but not entirely solved
    • browser appear animation is really nice
    • the scroll hiccups seem to be also better, but also not entirely gone (short time of being inactive, but it then works without me waiting a second)
    • nav bar icons are still spikey (I’m probably the only one looking that closely at it, but I was hoping that might be fixed with the native version)

      I do find it interesting that the back swipe then scroll freeze issue isn’t entirely fixed. It doesn’t stay frozen like the PWA if you keep swiping but it still latches for a sec before you can keep swiping.

        Came to comment this. The back swipe then scroll freeze issue isn’t fixed at all to me. I can replicate the bug every time. The only two reasons for me to use this over the PWA for now are haptics and scroll to top. Hopefully this opens the door to push notifications in the future.

          Push is already possible for Android PWAs and with iOS 17 also for iOS. Regarding the scroll freeze, does it still stay frozen for you as long as you’re trying to scroll after the back swipe?

            It does stay frozen until you lift the finger for a second or so. I see no difference whatsoever.

      I’d like to see haptics implemented when hitting the voting buttons too, not just on swipe

    to those curious, the download is only 14 megabytes and its silky smooth and appears much faster to me. it didn’t remember my settings from the wefwef pwa. submitting posts and comments and votes so far all work perfectly for me.

    this thing is a release candidate in my eyes.

    Bug:

    Tapped on the OP in this thread to collapse it, and end up getting the whole app shifted up/offscreen, and the comments cut off below.

    Hey @aeharding

    I found a bug but neither a screenshot nor a video would show it. Let me explain:

    I opened a post in this community (title: Can’t save images by long pressing) that was short and had very few comments, making the entire content fit exactly inside the screen, almost exactly. On a regular/longer post, I can pull to refresh, but in this case it seems like scrolling is completely disabled. No matter how much I try to swipe up or down, the whole thing is static. it works in the PWA, though.

    I also think it’s lacking a bit of padding between the last comment and the tabs at the bottom, but that’s also happening in the PWA, so I guess it’s not app related.

    Great work overall! Hope this helps

    Wohoo!

    That was quick! Testing using iOS 17.

    There seems to be a delay on the keyboard which is not present in the PWA however this might be because of the beta version I’m using.

    I also find the font sizes of the header quite large. Perhaps there could be an option to resize?

    Yay! Thanks for this! I’m loving it and feels like I never left Apollo more than the pwa did if that makes sense.
