I'd love to be able to enter fullscreen mode on the iPad. It would make reading long threads and LP's much much better, the empty avatar space drives me nuts.

When you're reading very long threads like a let's play after the initial avatar all the space to the left is just unused. If you could go to full-screen hide that would be great.

Had a weird bug earlier. Had to force close the app to fix it.

Two things: I thank you for the clarification of the pinch gestures. Apparently they do not work on iPad (due to plenty of real estate).

Second, I have bought No-Ads but yet still see the sexy chicks in both Awful and Maxx apps (I do not use the iPhone apps).

I think pinch to zoom could be useful on iPad to give a showthread template only. Where things like avatars and would be cut off and you'd just see the thread and posts inside it.

I think it's been mentioned as being worked on but a instapaper almost type of view for things like LP's and really long threads would be amazing.

Been using it for a bit now. So far the only thing slightly bugging me, should the username and avatar be a different gradient from the post text? I'm sure I'll get used to it but it's a bit odd.

Gradient? Can you clarify a little?

Maybe not a gradient but it just seems odd there's not a divider between usernames and their posts.

Been using it on my iPad and iPhone. Getting pretty used to it on the iPhone but man on iPad all the lines dividing the elements like the threads from the thread itself just makes it look like a late 90's web page with tons of frames.

Was there a full-screen version of this app at one point or am I just imagining things? I just bought a six and I feel like with the larger screen I'd love to have a full-screen mode so I can read LPs even more clearly.

Yeah I meant as in the navbar and other ui being hidden. It's weird but with a larger phone I want even more minimal ui space. It's hard to explain.

I think I remember that you used to be able to pinch and the app would hide the ui. That would be cool.

A more consistent issue I'm noticing is that unread counts are failing to update more frequently than usual though.


Yeah same here on this one, if I sit on the bookmarks page for a bit it updates but it's definitely laggy.

Yep I've found changing tabs real quick fixes it. I flip over to the forums then back to bookmarks and it instantly updates.

So the super zoomed out issue in Awful with iOS 9 is a beta issue with Apple right? There's nothing I can do to fix it currently?

Is imgur uploading super spotty for anyone else? I'd say it works for me maybe a quarter of the time. Usually it sticks at uploading forever then fails after a minute or two.

On the dark version of the latest beta Awful, when you tap a thread in bookmarks the thread space flashes white. Also things look different there. Pages are called pp and poster names are right aligned?

The newest iOS beta allows for side dismissal of safari view controller.

Edit: I can also confirm the stuck jittery scrolling in thread view on the latest beta.

Having a weird issue where sometimes I can't tap links in threads. I've particularly noticed when it's Twitter links. If I hold on said link it pops up just fine so it knows the links there.

what did you do? if this is in regards to force touch, it may work for people on the latest phones but it sucks balls for the rest of us

please fix

Just came here to say this. But I have a regular 6. If you hold on links it's fine but it's like the hit detection is non existent for tapping.

I don't have that issue but some links still refuse to be pressed. I specifically notice it with Twitter links. They always have to be held on and opened in safari. But maybe that could be the new embed thing loving with Awful?
