Coming to the App Store tomorrow!

Hey all! We still have some more QOL updates coming tomorrow or Saturday. Working on getting comments all sorted up (more like the Apollo style) and getting post editing/deletion as well as mod tools underway.

This update provides a VAST improvement to the image viewer. There shouldn't be any more issues with the swiping to close.

There are some issues still but they are minor and I'll get them cleaned up here soon. I've spent the day writing this viewer from scratch, so it's been a process.

The "white flash of death" should be fixed here as well when you open up the app.

We also now support localization! German is officially supported now, and we will be sourcing other languages to improve the experience for everyone.

Other minor fixes as well in this build, including a fix for a crash that was happening with the new spoilers.

Stay tuned, and happy scrolling!

Thanks for all your great work! The overall feeling of this app is getting better and better, and it gradually and slowly became my main one.

This pains me but for me this is the worst update in terms of stability, yet it might totally be a me problem β€” I am using 6s (15.7.7) if this helps anyhow.

What I mean by stability, 80% of the time everything is great, then a random crash, on any screen β€” earlier this happened once or twice actually, now since the update, once per hour.

Other thing, without crashing β€” just a freeze for a few seconds, at the beginning when I just tried to tap things as I thought my input just did not register somehow, after few seconds it opened posts or menus multiple times in a row.

Sometimes the image viewer behaves strangely or even soft locks me in a loop of having a tiny image from my compact list view hovering over the full screen view and on tap it is just dancing around the screen while changing opacities of the images, other images sometimes disappear completely in the list view and the full screen image starts changing positions too β€” like it tries to put a left top corner of the image in the center of the screen or just a half of the image to the left, right or bottom.

I was testing Thunder app too and what would be a great addition from my perspective is another list type, they are using a full width pictures but in different proportions and trimming the main picture β€” it felt different and fresh.

Overall Apollo force is strong in Memmy (maybe Orbit or Orion soon from what I saw in a different post) β€” a new list view design(s) could be a great spin that would make this app stand out a little more on its own as it definitely deserves to!

Another tiny but quite a big thing for me would be a gesture for the long right to left swipe after β€œcomment” to add a post or a comment to favorites β€” the option to change their order eventually would be great too.
