My app version is (under About in Settings): 3.2.3.2 Which orientation do you generally use? Landscape If you use landscape, which layout do you prefer? I think the way the landscape layout works best on my tablet (since 90% of my usage is landscape), and portrait layout works best on the phone. TABLET LAYOUT: Do you like threads opening fullscreen in landscape, or would you prefer to keep the thread/forum list on the side? The way it works now is fine: forum list slides away when I click on a thread. Do you like swiping around, like in the phone layout? I have no opinion on it, and don't think I've used it outside of accidentally hitting back one too many times. What do you like about the tablet layout? I use my tablet mostly in landscape, so I like that it's in landscape. And what's bad / stops you from using it? The fact that, to this day, the "imgur images break and requires multiple reloads to get it to show" exists, has not been resolved, and no ability to tell the app to reload just the image.

My app version is (under About in Settings): 3.2.3.2 Which orientation do you generally use? portrait If you use portrait, which layout do you prefer to use? phone. I have a nvidia shield which is 16:9, so landscape doesn't give enough vertical space, and in portrait the sidebar of tablet mode takes up too much space, making the thread view very skinny. When using a 4:3 tablet like my old Touchpad I preferred landscape with the side forum view.

SystemLogoff posted:This has been an unorganized thoughts post, sorry about that. That's cool, the feedback's what I'm after really! Thanks for the responses so far - and nah tablet layout isn't going away, but hopefully we can make it a bit better while fixing some of its issues. Knowing how people use it helps with the design decisions and all that

EXCITING SURVEY TIME
|
My app version is (under About in Settings): 3.2.3.2 Which orientation do you generally use? landscape on my tablet, phone on my phone If you use portrait, which layout do you prefer to use? phone If you use landscape, which layout do you prefer? tablet TABLET LAYOUT: Do you like threads opening fullscreen in landscape, or would you prefer to keep the thread/forum list on the side? I prefer it defaults to fullscreen Do you like swiping around, like in the phone layout? i like swiping from the left to get the thread list and list of subforums but sometimes it seems to open the settings menu instead What do you like about the tablet layout? it just works And what's bad / stops you from using it? I could swear I was unable to swipe back into a thread when browsing to other subforums not long ago but it seems to work now. When I telly it to play gifs etc it makes it a new one just below wher ethe first one is, seems [/quote]

Dear Android friends: It warms my heart to see a survey being done and gathering group feedback. It hurts inside when a single edge case posts a thought and the app gets changed for the worse because of it. Your pal, Dave

What was the last version of the app that supported Gingerbread? I'm messing around with my old Nexus One and having Awful on it would be convenient.

RVProfootballer posted:And what's bad / stops you from using it? Even if there's no chance of previewing posts like on desktop, being able to slide over and refresh the thread to see if anyone's beaten me to it (or just to double check something upthread) without having to quit out of the post window would be super, since right now doing that makes it really easy to lose your post if you fat finger the keep/ignore dialog when you go back in.

The app shows a little 'null' in the user bar for ignored users when expanded, as seen below: Not exactly a high priority item, but.

I only use my phone, or I'd do the survey. I love this app, it accounts for 95% of my something awful dot com viewing. Thanks so much for having programmed and maintaining it! One question, I can't seem to view embedded videos. They show up, with the time bar on the bottom, and the first frame of the video with the play button over it. When I click play, I can see the time elapsing, but no video plays. Am I an idiot who needs to adjust some setting or is something wrong? E: I've tried with "embed video" and "embed vines" off and on and it doesn't seem to help, not quite sure where else to go in setings to make them work. Thanks again. om nom nom fucked around with this message at 07:07 on Jul 1, 2016 |

^^^^^^ Did this happen multiple times in the last week or so? Could just be poo poo timing if thats the case. I get issues randomly with this app not loading new data. Refreshing, closing app, clearing cache... nothing works. Every other app works fine. Restart my phone and it works immediately. Galaxy s5. I dont even know a way to send a bug report about this.

I just saw that you can now enter the beta right from the play store app. Consider doing that if you have an old/ weird device or want shiny new things as soon as possible even they crash once in a while

You can't create threads in this app. The original developer of the app didn't believe you could create in-depth, well-researched OPs on a phone.

That was actually still me, before any of the apps had thread creation and before gbs became a fyad-light. At this point, sure, why not. Time is more the problem. The beta just got the ability to close your threads, the next beta will have a watered down version of post previews. Posting threads has quite a few prerequisites and it might be literal years until someone adds it.
