The update didn't fix it for me, but deleting and reinstalling the app seems to have worked. Thank god, I had to use reddit while I was at work today like some kind of plebeian.

If you have favorited subforums, it will mess up unless you can clear it out, via un/reinstall. (Is there another way to clear data on iOS?)

I've added a fix for the data store and am sending that off to the App Store as I post. Might be too little too late for anyone who sees this, but it'll make me feel better. On first launch after upgrading, it'll sort itself out without needing to reinstall.

The problem happens on the Forums tab, so in the meantime, if you can open Awful to some other tab, then you might have more success? Try via URL, e.g. awful://bookmarks.

So my suggestion is to move the "Ignore User" button to the bottom of a user's profile sheet, same as it is on the forums proper! That's more out of the way and less prone to accidentally selecting it. Also a "Pay Attention To User Again" button there as well would be great.

Makes sense to me!

I also have one... I delete them when I’m done with them? Is that weird?

I think I have two, from when I added some bookmarks to get me into a second page for Awful development purposes.

I don't think there's another way to clear it out. Though I don't think favourite forums directly causes the issue; just attempting to show a buggered forum in the Forums list will cause the death spiral.

Yeah also had to reinstall to get it working. Even after update I’d just have a blank blue title bar over an empty screen, totally unresponsive. Seems good now tho!

I think that's because tapping the favorite forum asks for the first page of threads, and it's when scraping forumdisplay.php that Awful shits itself.

Asked for an expedited review too. Feels a bit silly in the age of 12 hour review times, but permacrash death spiral seems like a good reason.

Anyone having trouble downloading on iPad? When I try and click the download button it spins for a few seconds and then does nothing. It’s an older iPad so it’s not the newest version of iOS anymore (I think 12). Is it just not compatible anymore?

Edit: wait nevermind. It worked finally. This iPad is just old and lovely I think.

I just double-checked, and I'm not restricting old versions from download on my side. Does Awful appear in the App Store in your list of purchases?

Sure enough the app was in the purchased list and reinstalled fine from there. Had no idea that screen even existed. Working great now, thank you for the help

Unfortunately Awful requires iOS 12, so you're probably stuck with the busted. Sorry!

Yeah, I'm in the same boat, I think I'll just stick to my bookmarks on the iPad. I rarely ever check for new threads anyway.
