In order to get up to speed with the people that are coming here without TestFlight, I’ve submitted a build to Apple with all of the current features and fixes.

I’d anticipate this to take about 24 hours, but it’s possible it will be reviewed today. Apple is weird. I’ve had things get approved in like 8 hours on Saturdays before, so there’s a chance it will happen today. I’ll update you all when that happens.

Improvements and additions:

  • New icon and options for changing icon color
  • New and improved swipe animation (by the way, this is better than the last update wink)
  • Improvements to image viewer (double tap works now too)
  • Performance enhancments throughout the app
  • Hide read posts
  • Images in comments
  • Collapsible posts
  • Default comment sort
  • All of the “Top” sort options
  • Show a loading modal while downloading images
  • Added a manage accounts button to accounts dropdown
  • Add option for reader in webview
  • Settings improvements
  • Added embark theme
  • Added buttons in comments for upvoting and replying
  • Adjustments to splashscreen
  • Username doesn’t link to user profile in compact mode now
  • Add option to use the default browser instead of in-app browser

Fixes:

  • Fix issues with toast not changing color or disappearing
  • Fix cake day showing the wrong year
  • Fix issue where links with an internal IP address would ask for permission to local network
  • Fix issues with account disappearing after app launch
  • Read icon now uses the correct color
  • Fix crash caused when pressing Matrix links
  • Fix crash when searching for a community with an @ at the end

If any of these issues are bothering you now, rest assured they will be fixed for you quite soon.

    Not going to lie, I miss the old memmy app logo but happy with the progress

      I’m going to throw it in the next update. I actually was going to do it now but it was a headache like you couldn’t imagine getting the icon switching to work. Had a list of things to do that just never materialized because of how long it took me to get that done.

        I really like the new logo and colour, but giving people the choice is a great idea.

        I appreciate the option to have different app icons! I personally love the Saturn.

        And the latest testflight version is absolutely mint, it’s insane how fast you’re implementing improvements

      Same. I prefer the little lemmy mouse to the planet. The new colours are dope tho. I’d love to see the lemmy mouse in a different style. Maybe we can get Apollo-style designer submissions for icons? 😍

        I don’t think we’ll really iterate on the mouse, we’ll put the existing icon in there but i wouldn’t really expect new ones. We will definitely accept submissions for icons though and put the ones we like best in. Probably will want to set up a formal process for that.
