I am so in love with this. What an amazing gift this app is in a world of corporations and data harvesting. If ever there’s a project that deserves our huge support, it’s this one.
Best lemmy app, period. So sleek, so smooth.
But how we are supposed to enjoy a Lemmy app without spending $20 on it?
Yeah! It respects your privacy and there's no ads!
Very suspect!
“If I’m not the product, then WHO AM I??”
I was hoping the "scroll freeze after swipe back" bug would've been fixed by this...
Is this an apple only problem¿? I don't face this on android
Yep it's a Safari (and its webview) bug. This is a quirk that will haunt this app and I don't think there's much that can be done from developer's side other than porting this app to a native library.
The safari bug is actually resolved in the native app for iOS. It only ignores gestures if you swipe quickly while the view is still transitioning, but it no longer latches which is the safari bug.
The problem is that Ionic view transitions are too slow on swipe back (vs native views) this is an Ionic bug though that can be resolved in a future version of Ionic. Basically the view transitions too slowly and you try to swipe right at the tail end of the animation and this initial gesture is ignored.
But it should no longer "freeze" until you stop all gestures, this is resolved in the native app.
Oh nice.
It's still driving me crazy though. I'll wait patiently for that to get fixed...
Wait it doesn’t?
It doesn't fix this unfortunately. This is a Safari/Webkit bug that still isn't fixed.

Congrats! I’ve been using the PWA for a few weeks and I’ve been convinced to do it for my next project.
How can I get the old icon back? I’m not a fan of the new one.
In the future there will be an app icon switcher :)
App icon switching is planned for a future update. Maybe the original will be included, but I can’t say.
Any options would great! Some of my favorites weren’t included in the poll
Yeah, I’ll try it! Looks a bit like Apollo! Me likey!
Been waiting for this app to be released on iOS and it DOES NOT disappoint! Hands down the best way to view Lemmy.
If it’s already this good on its first release I can’t wait to see what the future updates will bring!
As a former Apollo user, this app also brings me back to the good times of using it before it was shutdown.
Fantastic work devs!
Posting from the app, looking great! Thank you, @aeharding, you’re doing amazing work here. Migrating to Lemmy from the other place has been such a breeze with this app to smooth the way.
Whoa. This looks very promising! THANK YOU.
Looks good to me. What I still miss from Apollo is a swipe right to get „back“ to a post I just swiped left from. Something like the browser forward button.
I’m just a layman in terms of app development, but have a basic understanding of the monumental amount of work that has gone into this app, so I would like to congratulate everyone, or singular person, who has made my viewing habits as streamlined as they are.
I look forward to your success, and wish you all the praise, financial, emotional and learning support you could wish for.
Fabulous
Awesome! Been waiting for this to switch from Memmy, as I loved the PWA except for the limitations. Thanks for your hard work!
Great news!
I've been using the Android version, and it's awesome, y'all IOS buddies are in for a treat.
Congratulations!
Awesome news! Congratulations aeharding and team! 🎉🥳
Downloaded and reviewed. :)
Already downloaded! Didn’t realize how much I missed the haptics
I don't really use any apple devices but I'm really happy for you guys. Congrats!
Commenting directly from the new app!!
Thank you! It looks and works wonderfully!
Thank you for all your work into this app! Currently replying from the iOS app 😁
Awesome work :)
Would it be possible to change accounts while staying on a post? In case I browse with one account and want to comment from a different one? Or some setting to autoswitch accounts when I open a post from a different instance which I also have an account on?
Is that so you can have conversations with yourself?
😁 Rather because it’s sometimes more useful to comment with a „local“ account instead of the standard one I browse with. It’s a little complicated with the whole federated approach.
