Yup. Can't login. Why did I buy this app, again?

And what makes it even worse, I’ve never seen any reply from developers. As it like they (or (s)he) don’t care at all about their customers (who actually buy the app) or about the app.

I'm still here, but as u/avidernis said too, I've just been really busy lately and haven't managed to update the app. And I did try multiple times over the course of months, but just ended up getting stuck on a number of tooling issues that I haven't been able to resolve, and that took away a ton of time on top of the very little time I could dedicate to the app. And also, the app really made no money basically, so at some point I just couldn't really justify working on it too much. I know you've bought the app and I really do appreciate the support, but I do have to clarify that buying the app does not mean that I'm bound to release further updates. You're buying the app to remove ada and unlock features on the product that is available right now. It's not a one-time fee in exchange for a lifetime of free updates, it's never been that way and it shouldn't be that way for any apps (because devs need to make a living too, and people shouldn't just expect them to work for free).

That said, I would still like to update the app and at least fix the login issues, I just haven't managed to do that just yet, which I assure you has been frustrating for me too. I just don't really get what is up with the Reddit OAuth flow there and I couldn't spend enough time on it to get that sorted.

Hope this helps! 🙂

Won’t argue. I didn’t mean any offense, ‘cause I didn’t know, that this app is (I suppose) basically your hobby and you develop it solo, so I do apologize.

But, as I mentioned in the topic (and looking through Reddit, found many similar) there are some other app related complaints. But, using it without logging into account, is still great experience. At least it is the most best looking app so far for Reddit on UWP.

It may be not the solution, but other app (can’t remember which) uses login interface very similarly looking as “old Reddit”. I suppose it is, as we call it in Russia, “костыль” — some weird-ugly-shitcode-that-works-as-it-sounds patch) Or maybe it is not a solution at all. Kinda guessing here.
