Hi everyone! Thanks for all the feedback so far, lot’s of really great suggestions and useful criticism! I’m very happy to see so many people using the app, nothing is more motivating honestly.

This update adds a bunch of requested features, including:

  • Multiple account support
    • Hold down the tab-icon to switch!
  • Profile pages
    • Tap any user to see their comments, posts and recent activity
  • Favorite subscriptions
    • For those of you with just a tad too many communities to keep track of
  • Share sheet integration for posts & images
  • Added option to block communities/users
  • Added new page to view saved comments
  • Improved the UI for settings

Since the last update I’ve also added:

  • Full-width swipe to go back (super nice for large phones!)
  • Smarter option to show both downvotes and upvotes only for controversial …in addition to a bunch of bug fixes and improvements all-around.

Hope you enjoy the new changes, and let me know what you think!

Hi Evgiz,

Waited for favourites on community from long time and happy to see that happening today..

Just a suggestion that please make these favourites also sorted alphabetically or give us the option of rearranging them as per our choice.

And one more UI tweak could have been better is that the saved book mark sign could be moved to the right side of the post ( because i feel every options are leaned towards left side and feels cluttered towards left side and right side feels blank )

Otherwise it’s a great update as always.. and can’t wait to see what’s more in store in upcoming days..

Thanks again.

Hi, no problem!

Sorting favorites alphabetically too is a good idea, seems more consistent. I'll add that in the next build.

I'm constantly tweaking minor things in the UI still, so might do something to make the bookmark icon look more balanced. Not sure exactly how it'll end up though, it's pretty challenging to keep the clean design while also showing all the info you need!

Hi,

Thanks again for the quick response..

Just noticed that, once you make a community favourite a new duplicate community is being added in the favourite section..

This method makes the list grow unnecessarily with duplicates if a person favourites too many communities ( let’s say if he has 50 communities )

Instead what you can do is, once a community is favourited it just moves up permanently and alphabetically into the favourite section and once he unfavourites it comes back to its original non-favourite section with alphabetical order..

This makes the whole list intact without any duplicate entries.

Please never mind for this long post..

I just love this app, and I want it to grow bigger that’s all..

Thank you.

Good point, no reason to keep duplicates really. I'll pop that in with the next build.

No worries about long comments, I genuinely appreciate the feedback. There's always a ton of small parts in apps like these, so it's pretty easy to miss obvious things or minor nuisances that are only apparent when you use the app for a bit. Feel free to add a post with a summary of your thoughts or just suggestions/bugs you find in general! Cheers

Sure man., thanks again.

Just a heads up,

After the recent update, only the subscription list stutters a lot while scrolling ( can be noticed when scrolling slowly )..

Other tabs are just fine and quite smooth in comparison.
