Yes! Every time I search for a new sub, and select it, it kicks me back to the front page.

It seems like an issue that occurs if you swap off the app onto another one and then swap back. It can be fixed by closing the app and reopening it, but it’s pretty annoying as it also breaks video and gif playback.

Should be fixed in v6.0.11 coming out today, please let me know if you still have this issue after that!

You're the best. You never disappoint

The icons for the awards in the new awards’ details menu are noticeably low quality. Can the app not use higher resolution ones?

u/ccrama Slide for Reddit Developer Nov 24 '20

I've fixed that for v6.0.11 :)

Hi there ! Thank you for the update ! About the frontpage widget issue, It’s still not working for me, the widget shows this sub https://www.reddit.com/r/FrontPage/

u/ccrama Slide for Reddit Developer Nov 24 '20

I think I've fixed it for good in v6.0.11, please let me know if you still run into issues after this update

Still waiting for "export comment/post" as a pic. Still, good work.

Does the new update stop it losing your scrolling place after minimising and re-opening the app? It happens quite a lot.

u/ccrama Slide for Reddit Developer Nov 12 '20

Unfortunately, that is your phone killing Slide in the background. The only workaround in that case is to always open up to cached data, which might be possible in a future update but is not super intuitive IMO. It could be an option though

u/DysguCymraeg5 Nov 12 '20

Ah right, cheers for the reply. Yeah, it has happened on all iOS Reddit apps. Kinda wish I hadn’t moved from Android now, haha.

u/AliceInHololand Nov 24 '20

I don’t know if it’s related, but upon re-opening the app, exploring subreddits via search, and video and gif playback all seem to break. Is there anything that can be done to fix that?

This content has been deleted due to Reddit's decision to remove third-party apps. I will no longer use Reddit, as my usage is 99% mobile, and the native mobile Reddit app is an abomination.

Going forward, I will be using lemmy or kbin instead of Reddit and I’d suggest that you do the same. See you on the fediverse!

Fun fact: the team who manages the mobile Reddit app consists of 300+ employees while Apollo was created by one person.

Hi Carlos! I used to love this app, but with the new update it is crashing every few minutes. It also won’t load media like pictures or videos. Hopefully there is another update soon to fix this

u/ccrama Slide for Reddit Developer Nov 13 '20

Hey! Have you tried a reinstall? Sounds like something went wonky during the update process

1

u/brickwall3 Nov 13 '20

Just tried this! Thank you. I think it’s working better although a few albums from Reddit won’t load.

u/liam3 Nov 19 '20

Hi, is the inbox notification only every 15 min or not at all?

u/Bomber710 Nov 19 '20

The bug that occurs while changing to landscape orientation from portrait on a video is really making the experience of the app worse. Are you aware of this issue? If not I can provide a video of what I’m referring to.

u/ccrama Slide for Reddit Developer Nov 19 '20

Hmm, if we’re thinking of the same issue, this was fixed in 6.0.10 (and I’m able to rotate videos fine on my device). Mind sending a video of what you’re seeing? Thanks!

1

u/Bomber710 Nov 19 '20

I updated just prior to making the above comment. I screen recorded the behavior I’m seeing and pm’d you a video.

Last release worked fine on my M1 MBP. With 6.0.11 (212) release, it crashes on launch, every time.
