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!

    After opening an image and then double tapping it, the image zooms down to the bottom of the screen and also is overlaying the feed. This may be expected behavior?

    Also when pinching out to zoom it doesn’t seem to center on where I’m pinching.

    I notice the improvements regarding zooming/tapping (thank you), but I’d like to report what seems to be a bug.

    It seems like the app is only loading low-quality images in some cases. I just noticed it after seeing a post on https://lemmy.world/c/animalswithjobs@lemmy.world. Following onto the community I saw that on every post there the image is low-quality, it’s even hard to read the captions in some cases. Tapping on the share button shows them in the low kilobytes in size.

    So far that’s the only community I’ve seen the problem on, though. I’ll report back if I notice it elsewhere, but I’m not sure how to confirm it’s an isolated problem or if there is something I can toggle to change the behavior.

    The new image viewer, when zooming in, instead of showing empty space as black, it is transparent, showing the feed behind it. Is this expected behaviour?

    The update feels much snappier overall and am loving it regardless. Thank you as always.

      Haha no, I’ll have this fixed in a few hours. Just really testing it out.

    Updated the App Store version today, since my stabbing the beta link still yields nothing. :(

    And I still get a flash of the day/light theme loading first before the OLED dark theme pops in as it should.

      Hmm we updated to React Native .72, wonder if that was the cause. Let me take a peek.

    Maybe I’m missing it… but when there are multiple pictures I’m unable to swipe between them and instead have to close the picture I opened and tap on another. Is album swiping a feature that will be implemented? Thanks for the hard work I’m really loving the app so far!

      Yea, it isn’t there yet but will be there in the coming days.

      I’ll write up something on how this can be done. I also think we are setting up something web based where you can easily contribute the translations without needing to use GitHub or anything like that.
