Oh you use compact mode? You will love the 1.5 update just arrived on Play Store. About the repeating posts issue unfortunately it's reddit side problem [1] [2] the other issue where you play a video and the audio keeps playing could most probably be a buffering or memory issue(I haven't encountered one on Android yet) but if you do encounter it next time please screen record and send me if you can.

Done. Will push the update to play store tomorrow.

Reddit is down again in c/reddit

[–] overdevs 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah that's why my telegram is buzzing. Looks like search is down on RDX because of this. Everything else is working though.

I get what you are saying, just pushed an update to Apple with the new compact mode. Android soon.

Since both left and right swipes(to go back and forward) work already it will be messy to implement that.

I have explained in the parent comment.

When you donate, a token id and status of purchase is sent to the server (in case anyone donates accidentally, rare I know, requests for a refund for their donation I can match order ID and issue refund) . That's all, no credit card info, email or stuff like that. I wasn't sure if this counts as financial info on play store so just to be safe I checked that box.

I was asked to post here. cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/18458440

Since a lot of you asked me to build an Android version and post about it here when I launch, and I sincerely apologise that I forgot to post on lemmy sooner. The free app was launched on Play store almost a month ago and has garnered some excellent reviews. It has feature parity with the iPhone App and works on all Android 8.0+ devices.

You can download the app here.

Any feedback is wholeheartedly welcome, you can also post issues and contribute to the rdx web app on Github.

For those who lurk on Reddit - my ad-free, open source Reddit viewer RDX is an iPhone app now (apps.apple.com)

Posting the update here because most of the users of RDX come from Lemmy community only.

Why?

A lot of users asked for a more polished viewer with more features and users in the EU now can not add web apps to home screen, so I spent some time building an iOS app. You can also save images and videos/gifs from Reddit now. It's stil completely free (with an optional donate option available), the web app also works.

You can download the app here

My reddit web viewer still works! Story: When reddit killed 3rd party apps, I uploaded a web viewer I have been using for myself to Github pages for everyone to use...

If you want to lurk on Reddit, you can use this web reader I built for myself when I got inspired by the Apollo app years ago

Sorry RDX for Reddit's EU users, you won't be able to add RDX web app (or any other PWA) to your home screen in the latest iOS update (rdx.overdevs.com)

Apple is removing PWA(progressive web apps) from EU Which means:

Your subscribed subs will be removed if you don't use the app in the last 7 days - https://stackoverflow.com/a/76792560
Your saved posts will be removed in the same way, and all other settings if you don't consistently use the website.
You won't get the options I have added like a fixed header for standalone version.

So any PWA website that you currently use won't be able to store anything in your localstorage for more than 7 days after you visiting that website.

Reason: Apple confirms: It's killing home screen web apps in the EU

All GIFs now load faster than ever.
OP's comments are labelled.
New themes and fonts. (not just the default dark and white, go colorful)

I posted about that here and forgot < https://lemmy.world/post/896361> but today when I checked cloudflare analytics it showed about 1000 pageviews in last 24 hours. Looks like some people are using it so just wanted to let you guys know that it works, no ads. no popups nothing.

You can't login or anything but it's good for viewing posts and media and you can switch subreddits easily by clicking on the page title in the center like Apollo. Also it's on Github.
