How do you use the swiping to up/downvote effectively? (self.thunder_app)

Maybe it's just me but the swiping to up/downvote is incredibly frustrating to use. I find myself accidentally downvoting often. My other issue is that the votes don't register immediately, so most of the time I can't tell whether I didn't swipe far enough or if it didn't register yet and end up probably swiping 5 times before giving up.

Am I using it wrong? Are there plans to allow for buttons in the future?

Otherwise I am really digging the client. Would like it if the community name was highlighted in a different color when scrolling all too, but otherwise it's great!

With tweaking, like changing the distance for each action, the swiping will be better for sure.

Please bear in mind some users have phones without any buttons, for example I have to swipe from the edges of the screen to go back, this can sometimes interfere with the swipe actions.

I would also like to longpress actions being added, I find myself instinctively doing this when I want to reply, only to find there isn't an option.

Long press actions, and alternative means of voting will be a greater focus for the upcoming updates!
