BTW is there some reason the SQLite database is exposed via iTunes file sharing? Seems odd.

Another minor bug. Easy to repro at least:

1. Pinch expand to go into full screen mode.
2. Open a photo in full screen mode.
3. Go back and you have the bottom bar but not the top one.

Yeah, I called it "pinch expand." I'm not sure what the official term is, the gesture where you zoom in.

To be honest, I don't use the feature except by accident.

Another visual bug:

Open bookmarks tab.
Press Edit button.
Scroll down.

The unread counts are half off the screen, probably because the rows are not adjusting size to account for the delete button

Page forward / back could use some kind of indicator that its doing something after you tap.

Last one is the level select screen for Doom or Doom 2 but I don't know what exactly the background is.

The burden one is something from the Zulu war but don't know what exactly.

Love the new look. I think the highlight when you tap on a thread is still the old color, which doesn't match the new softer blue you're using everywhere ele.

It could also be a bit taller. It's probably the same size as it was before but now the table has a shadow which makes but seem smaller to me, and harder to hit.

Edit: oops quoting didn't work there. That was about the thing at the bottom that says how many pages are left.

The new text at thread end is a little wordy but I don't have any good suggestions to fix it.

smackfu

Maybe put "tap to refresh" in smaller type underneath?

... Or never mind.

Never mind, didn't realize you could tap to make the blue top bar go away in the photo viewer.

Seems like a bug if you follow a link to another thread, the new thread may say page 1 of 16, but the page chooser only has the current page in it. And when I pressed the Next page button, it crashed.

The pull for next page bug is fixed in 1.9.1. Unfortunately you'll have to hit it twice until then.

Why did it only affect fast moving threads? Was it only if the total page count changed?

This app sure has to handle a lot of edge cases.

Something about the below comment makes the thumbnails work but clicking on them gets a 404.

I think maybe an issue with image URLs that have parameters which are probably pretty rare.

Heh it actually works ok, just every thread has only has one page and the 20 next unread posts are at the end of it after a bunch of read ones.

I second updating the thread title so people know they don't need to report the bug.

Oddly, the thread tags thing just started crashing for me today. Before that it was just doing the really long page 1 of 1.

Can you still just replace the stylesheet in iTunes? That would work for something simple like font size.

smackfu
Jun 7, 2004

I've seen a bug a few times where I open the app, it's set to open in the bookmarks tab first, and it immediately gets a popup network error when it refreshes. Almost too quickly, like its not even hitting a server. If I manually pull to refresh, it works.

smackfu

This is really picky but in dark mode, the "loading unread posts" text in the middle of the screen with the spinner seems to be doubled up or something so it's not quite right. Or maybe a shadow that doesn't work on the black background (this definitely looks like it now that I see the screenshot at 2x)?

It kind of looks like faked bold or something.

I feel like the real problem here is iOS' text selection mechanism, but I don't know if there's any clean way the app could compensate for this at all?

Wonder if it is possible in iOS to let you select text, then hit the ... button on the post and Quote, and only have it use the selected text in the quote.

FYI, first time I started the app after this update, a lot of my favorites showed infinity unread counts. Seems to be working after I forced a refresh.

Those are both non retina devices, right? And the font icon is a pretty detailed serif font. Maybe just needs to be redone as a non retina resource.

Mine took a long time to start up after today's update, like 30 seconds on an iPhone 5.

New reply icon is much better!

It seems to have an extra row for icons that is blank, on an iPhone 5.

Instapaper's API actually does support creating bookmarks where you provide the HTML source in the call, for private things like the forums. Not sure if there is a need to Instapaper individual comments, but that is how you would do it.

Another idea for the pile: it would be nice to have some way to see really long thread titles when you are in a thread and they are cut off. Maybe tap and hold?

smackfu
Jun 7, 2004

There's a few people working on it, I believe, plus taking money gets a little iffy with the official SA guys.

I think there might be a very minor bug here.

Follow an internal link to a thread.
Bookmark that thread.
Go to bookmarks list and that thread is missing an icon.

I couldn't reproduce that but maybe it only happens the first time onw given thread?

smackfu
Jun 7, 2004

pokeyman posted:

Which thread? Or more specifically, what's the thread's icon? If the icon is newer than the most recent release, the app has to download it before it'll appear. And Awful can't tell what a thread's icon should be until it opens a list (bookmarks, a forum) with that thread in it.

And when you say "missing an icon", do you mean it has the "empty thread" icon or just blank space?

It was the thread linked in this post:
http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3508117&perpage=40&pagenumber=162#post416336099

It should have the Apple logo, but it was just a blank space the first time I went to the Bookmarks tab after adding it. After I refreshed, it showed up. Maybe that is just how it works?

All that debate over what icon to use for the reply button, and with iOS 7, it will just get turned back into text.

smackfu
Jun 7, 2004

Yeah, that's one bummer of it not being an "official" app.

The official Apple way to do this now is to put some HTML in the page that pops up an App Banner in Safari. It would have a button to launch the app and provide the context, like which thread you clicked.

This stuff: http://developer.apple.com/library/...AppBanners.html

I guess this isn't even recompiled against iOS 7, since it's not showing the new keyboard.
