Thanks for your patience!

Amazing work

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm trying this. Is very smooth!

When I press install it wants me to enter my password. When I'm back to press Install nothing happens. Whaaat.

Edit: works after about 45min. Patience ain't easy.

Edit2: You mean I can remove ads in this beautiful piece of work of an app for a normal price? Guess what! I paid! Nice work!

Looks promising. So excited!

There's this general problem:

My password was too long for Sync and Voyager and now also Boost; I've been using Jerboa since it worked in that client.

Since Boost also had the issue I changed my password to a shorter one.

The old one was something like

Friday-Ramble-Patriot-Apricot5-Tractor-Litigator-Shove-Antivirus

... and the new one is shorter and is causing no issues.

Posting from Boost, already using it so much more the 3 previous apps I had (Jerboa, Voyager and can't remember). Feels like home. Thanks so much.

Looks great!

It's good to be back! This might just be my having missed a setting, but my system navigation bar has a white background even with the OLED dark mode active here. Aside from that, flawless so far!

Wife is getting this error when navigating to the download page from the "You are a Tester" page. It loads a Google Play page with the download button, then gives this error. Opening the Play app doesn't give her the download button. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Thank you. Ad free purchased! Keep up the good work

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

For some reason I'm unable to pay to remove ads but I believe it might be a Google issue. Loving the app so far though!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Feels like home, have used Boost for absolutely years, so glad it's here for Lemmy now too

Thanks @[email protected] (testing how I can mention at users in Lemmy lol). Loved the app before, and this reincarnation is why I'm even in Lemmy right now in the first place. Already bought ad-free and also put some extra fuel in the rocket! ๐Ÿš€

Edit: testing mention again, since I didn't see it become a link in my comment: @rmayayo

Is there a setting to show seperate upvote/downvote counts? I'd prefer that over the "net" score which reminds me of r*ddit.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can I sort by only gifs, pictures, or text? It was an option for the reddit version but I can't find how to do it on this new version for Lemmy.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That option was disabled for Lemmy. Maybe it returns in the future.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

My experience with the app has been amazing so far. It actually works far better than the official lemmy.world website

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Works great. It really feels like I'm using Boost for Reddit. Thank you mate, ad-free version purchased :)

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Is there an option for the comments where I can just long-press to select and copy text instead of needing to go into a copy menu and then using the select text option? That can be bit tedious, and I typically copy most longer comments and send them to my voice-aloud app for TTS. It's definitely the main feature I miss about the old RIF app - easy text selection and perfect Bluetooth keyboard/mouse support.

Bug/Issue Report:

Been noticing a couple minor things over the past couple days.

  • When clicking the tray notification for messages, it sends me to the mentions part of my inbox not the unread part.

  • Refreshing a profile, or inbox, is inconsistent. Often I need to pull down multiple times for it to update and even then sometimes the update is still older than what's current, requiring more pulls. For a profile this can mean not showing current posts or posts with incorrect comment/score. For inbox this means disappearing messages or not knowing you've got a new one.

  • Speaking of inbox, if I mark a message as read it'll stop any notifications or badge counting. However the message will still occasionally "light up" like it's unread. Doesn't reactivate any notifications, and the app seems to know it's not really new, but it does happen.

Feedback:

  • I'm guessing this will be added later, but at the moment you can't edit titles of posts with the app. If I click edit it just says mark nsfw or delete.

Otherwise I love the app like I loved old boost. The only other thing would be themes but that isn't even remotely important this early in development.
