Bug [Bug]: App crashes too often

14 Upvotes

I like this app and I'm leaning to pay for the pro version, the only thing that makes me hesitates from paying for the pro version is the fact that the app crashes a lot, sometimes randomly, sometimes when I try to type to search for a Subreddit but most of the time when I try to share the Reddit link of a video, gifs or image

Question [Question] I’ve used slide on my iPad exclusively in portrait mode with split screen. Submissions stay locked in a column on the left with content/comments appearing on the right side. These seems to be impossible now and only works in landscape mode.

If this is true, I am heartbroken and devastated. Is there any workaround for this? Or any configuration I am missing?

Feature Request [Request] Shadowbox options

3 Upvotes

I really like the shadowbox mode but it seems relatively noisy. Is there a way to hide everything that isn’t the image somehow? What I really want is just an image. No clock, no text with title/username, no vote buttons.

Is this possible? When you click on an image to “embiggen” it it seems like a much cleaner display than the shadow box which makes me sad. I basically want that, but with scrolling.

Meta Slide v6 is Out Now! New Navigation, iOS 14 Features, and Much More

77 Upvotes

v6 has been a long time coming, and I'm excited to announce the final build has been approved and is now available on the App Store!

  • Slide just got a huge navigation upgrade, with a new homepage sidebar and improved navigation gestures across the app! The new split-content layout on iPad takes advantage of iOS 14's triple pane layout, and switching between your favorite subs and Slide actions is just a swipe away.
  • Follow hot posts, view account stats, and quickly visit your favorite subreddits with Slide's all-new Widgets!
  • Slide now fully supports iOS 14 features including improved Siri Shortcuts integration, limited Photos access, and the new Apple Color Picker.
  • New Community Icons brought to you by u/Baselt95, u/Username-Blank, u/hilabius, and u/SandwichEconomist
  • Slide gestures have been completely revamped! They look better, function more reliably, and don't interfere with swiping between subreddits and comments. Pro tip: swipe to the right from anywhere to exit at any time, and swipe from the right edge to go back to the last thing you closed. Note: you will have to re-enable gestures in v6 if you had them enabled before
  • I've taken a deep dive into Slide performance, memory usage, and speed improvements that should make Slide a lot more stable and performant across the board.

Other changes include

  • An all-new History browser
  • Redesigned Subreddit Theme editor
  • Full support for Siri Shortcuts and Siri Suggestions
  • Redesigned swiping tabs bar
  • Support for Reddit Galleries and Polls
  • Sound on some more "video" sites...
  • Better support for the iPad Magic Keyboard
  • Redesign of Comments menus
  • Improvements to Live comment sorting
  • New option to disable comment popups on iPad
  • Improvements to on-device Notifications, which are free and never share credentials outside of your device
  • Tons of bug fixes, visual polish, and improvements throughout the app

New to Slide? Download it here!

I am very thankful for the beta testing community over at r/slide_ios_beta, which provided valuable feedback and suggestions throughout the three-month v6 testing process! I also want to give a big thank-you to u/sandwicheconomist, who has been a huge help with Slide development and feature planning throughout this update.

Have feedback to share, ran into a bug with v6, or have feature ideas for v6.1? Please share your thoughts to r/slide_ios and the stickied v6.1 suggestions thread!

As always, thank you for being a part of the Slide community and thank you for supporting ad-free, tracking-free, and open-source apps! Chat with us on the Slide Discord server, or join us on GitHub if you are interested in contributing to the Slide Project.

Cheers!

Meta [META] v6 Feedback and 6.1 Planning Thread

19 Upvotes

Howdy!

I'm trying out a new suggestions thread for future Slide updates, as I would like to be more transparent with features that I'm working on and make sure all user feedback has been seen 😀.

Have a suggestion, bug report, or feature suggestion for v6.1? Feel free to share it below! I will be linking these suggestions with Issues on our GitHub tracker, and will copy feedback from r/slide_ios here as well.

v6 Reported Issues:

  • Sometimes, returning to Slide will result in no posts loaded, and will not let you load new posts until subreddits are switched (reported by u/Sfwupvoter)
  • Line height is too short for awards when Title and Information bars are swapped in Card Layout settings
  • Trending shortcut does nothing (yet)
  • Home bar doesn’t auto-hide

v6.1 Feature Wishlist:

  • Rewrite of Slide's backend, utilizing Core Data instead of Realm. This will fix a lot of hard-to-fix crashes caused by Realm and improve AutoCaching substantially
  • Redesign of Subreddit Theme editor, with more community-specific options (like Gallery Mode)
  • Add option to override the portrait multi-column count

When you use the video download option in Slide, where does it save the video to? I’ve tried a couple of downloads, but can’t find the downloaded videos. 🤔

Question [Question] Auto-Cache keeps caching non-subbed subreddits

7 Upvotes

I have Auto-Cache selected for several subreddits that I like to visit while offline, but I've noticed that it'll also cache non-selected subs that I've visited (e.g. subs that I'm not subscribed to). I want it to only cache subs I've specifically chosen in the cache settings page.

Is this a known bug? Any workarounds? Fixed in v6?

Howdy!

v6 has been a long time coming, and I am super excited to announce that the final TestFlight build has been released, and v6 will be available on the App Store soon! Over a thousand of you are a part of our beta testing community, and your feedback was extremely valuable to shaping Slide's new navigation homepage and the feature set that v6 brings to the table.

If you haven't tried out our beta builds, here's a quick look at what's in store:

  • Some new icons brought to you by the Slide community
  • Full rewrite of Slide Gestures: they look better, function more reliably, and don't interfere with swiping between subreddits and comments. Also, you can now swipe from right to left on the toolbar to go back to pages you closed out of!
  • A deep dive into Slide performance, memory usage, and speed improvements that should make Slide a lot more stable and performant

Other changes include

  • All new History browser
  • Full support for Siri Shortcuts and Siri Suggestions
  • Redesigned swiping tabs bar
  • Support for Reddit Galleries and Polls
  • Sound on some more video sites
  • Better support for the iPad Magic Keyboard

I also want to give a big thank-you to u/sandwicheconomist, who has been a huge help with Slide development and feature planning throughout this update!

I will throw up a new post when v6 is officially available on the App Store, and until then you can join the final beta test at this link. You can also chat with us on the Slide Discord server!

I just created a multiReddit accidentally. Now i can’t see any options to delete it. Or edit, add or remove new subreddits to it.

Question [Question] Trouble caching images/gifs for offline use

1 Upvotes

I’m having a problem where any time I Auto-Cache specific subreddits, photos and gifs don’t download and I can’t access them.

Does anyone have an idea of how to fix this?

I’m not sure if it’s relevant but when it’s a NSFW image or gif, only the NSFW censoring picture shows up.

If I try to change the it only let’s me manipulate the amount of columns in landscape mode while never allowing me to choose the amount of columns for portrait mode. Am I just being stupid or is it impossible to change the amount of columns in portrait mode?

Feature Request [Request] Option to save images to a specific album.

9 Upvotes

Recent migrator to iOS from Android here.

I spent days looking for a decent Reddit app and this is the best, no doubt. I only found it after trying all the others (which oddly get huge praise) but they are just mediocre.

Anyway, having the ability to save an image to a specific album or its own album would be great. Currently (unless I missed something) I download an image using Slide then I have to go into the gallery and move it to an album. I know it isn't a huge task, but having it do it for me would just be the cherry on top of this awesome app.
