I am really liking the first public TestFlight build. All of the key features are here and performance is very good.

Everything looks to be working well but I do have two points.

Firstly the mark read option seem to be a little ‘sensitive’. If I tap a post and then return a few posts after the one I tap on are also marked as read. A small things but one to be aware of.

Secondly whilst typing this message I am seeing a fair amount of post ‘jumping’ and copying of the message already written. The last one is a little odd. If I keep typing it sorts itself.

Finally I can see that you have text size as a holder in the options. Please see if you get to that one soon - as someone who struggles with his sight (I put it down to age!) the comment text particularly is a little too small.

All-in-all you have written a really good app. I look forward to following and trying out the updates as they are released. Well done.

    I’m also sometimes noticing the glitchy text jumping while writing a comment / post. I’m not exactly sure what’s happening there, but so far it seems to happen mostly when iOS tries to predict the text. Will definitely debug this further, since it’s quite a jarring experience sadly :(

    As for the ‘mark as read’ problem, do you mean that automatically marking post read on scroll isn’t working correctly?

      Yes. Marking read on scroll itself works fine. However if I tap a post in the middle of the timeline, read the post and then go back to the timeline not only is that post marked as read (as expected) but also any more also on the screen.

      I think you are right about the predictive text.

        Aha! I see that I indeed made a silly mistake. It indeed marks any post that’s in view as read, instead of only the posts that you fully scroll past. Will put this on the list to fix (:

          Great! I’m glad I made sense. Even I read it back and wasn’t clear what I meant!!

            No worries haha, these kinds of bugs aren’t always the easiest to describe. I’m already grateful that you reported it at all (:

              If you can give us an option to adjust text size (especially on comments) it would be really appreciated.

                This is something I’m currently working on, since it’s one of the most requested features right now. It is however a bit tricky, since it of course impacts a large part of the app so it takes a bit longer to implement
