Hey you guys!!
On android I was able to click a link to a thread and it opened in the app automatically, this doesn't happen for me on iOS, it keeps opening in safari. Is this a limitation on iOS? A setting I'm missing? Thanks in advance.

In the settings there's an option for which browser you want to be default.

Only emojis can express my pure, simple stupidity.

Is there a reason imgur uploads work 25% of the time and otherwise just timeout to an error?

Its a limitation of iOS. To make that work on iOS requires server-side changes that we can't do because the app developers don't control SA.

There are a few workarounds though. If you copy a forums link to your clipboard, the app should offer to open that thread in the app. Or you can change the beginning of the link from "https" to "awfulhttps" and it should open it in the app.

When posting a new thread (at least in dark mode) it doesn't seem super obvious (to me) where to tap to assign a thread icon. And if you select a thread icon after writing your subject and op, it appears the Preview button activeness validation doesn't fire until you make another edit to the op text.

Also if your op is too long it hides the bottom lines under your keyboard so you have no idea what you're typing.


Also why do gifs take forever to load?

because gifs are an outdated image container that are poorly optimized and not really great for much more than transparent backgrounds

The only time Imgur upload doesn't work is when heir servers are over loaded

It's two things:

1) Someone (usually me or The Dave) needs to create a version of every icon specifically for the app, which can be a lot of work
2) Apple has recently started flagging thread icons in app review, so some of the ones we've already made need to be excluded to get the app approved

If you post a list of the SA urls for all the thread tags that don't show I will make versions of them. If they are censored I will come up with something that looks the same but does not include IP. Yes I am being incredibly lazy here but I will do it. (Though I think the censored list might have gotten posted and I forgot.)

This is a weird one. About half the time I rotate my phone to landscape orientation the app locks up and I have to kill the process.

iPhone 6, Awful App 3.2, IOS 10.2

Edit: Seems to happen if I rotate the phone right after refreshing a thread, from the main forum list it doesn't happen

I think I know what causes this. Will +1 on the list for you.

We just use the native system video player I think, so whenever PiP came out?

I think WebKit has just always kinda sucked at animated gifs? And I don't mean that judgementally, maybe that's the right trade off. It's also possible that WKWebView is better; we're still using the older UIWebView.

An alternative is to render gifs natively and layer the native view over the web view. I have zero interest in maintaining that though.

It's a garbage image format created in the late 80s by a now defunct company and nowadays used as a universal video format, which it never was designed for.

I have a feature request! Instead of having to tap the little "done" button in the upper left corner of the screen to dismiss an image, why not have the little swipe in any direction thing like the official twitter app? Or really any way to easily dismiss it.

Apps great and thanks for the hard work on it.
