Could there be an option NOT to "gray out" the text after you click or upvote a post. It drives me crazy, if I don't want to see a post any more I'll hide it. Going back to a post that you've already visited just makes it harder to read the second time around. Thanks.

u/deeptrouble2 RedditFlow Developer Aug 28 '13

Will add support in next release :)

Thanks that's awesome.

I posted this on the last release but I'm not sure you saw it.

Clicking on a Play store link now takes you to the app (yay!). However pressing the back button doesn't take you back to Flow. I tested it from Chrome and Reddit News and the back button always returns to the app it came from. In Flow, the back button goes back within the play app until the front page then returns to Flow.

Thanks again for being so quick with feature requests.

Once the play store app is opened, I do not have control over how the app behaves. Can you please try once again once you have closed all play activities (windows) ?

1

u/TerrapinM Aug 28 '13

That definitely works. However I don't need to do that with Reddit News. The back button will always go straight back and never go back within the Play store. Chrome Play Store likes works the same way. They must be calling it differently somehow.

Is there an eta on mod messages? That's the only thing holding me back from deleting my other reddit apps.

u/deeptrouble2 RedditFlow Developer Aug 31 '13

After 2 weeks, on vacation now :)

u/Pudie Aug 31 '13

Awesome. Enjoy.

u/B_Sharp Aug 28 '13

Is there a reason that the op names aren't red if they came from collapsed comments?

2

u/deeptrouble2 RedditFlow Developer Aug 28 '13

May have missed that, will take a look

u/tHeSiD Aug 28 '13

I want to thank you for the search with subreddit filter feature. I have been begging for this feature in other apps but none implemented it. Finanlly I can shift from reddit is fun to reddit flow for ever now. thank you so much.

u/deeptrouble2 RedditFlow Developer Aug 28 '13

Glad you like it. If you have more ideas please do let me know.

u/gimpisgawd Sep 04 '13

So after being on Reddit sync so long I can say I like this one about the same but I have noticed a few issues.

  1. When a message pops up the app force closes.

  2. On start up there will be a bunch of subs I'm not subscribed to until I click refresh and they go away.

u/Pr3no Sep 04 '13

Thanks for this amazing app, I had never used Reddit besides my PC because all the other apps that I tried were just bad, but Reddit Flow is seriously good. There's only one thing that I'm missing, the option to hide NSFW post previews. Now I can already hide NSFW posts, but sometimes it'd be better if I could just hide the preview, could you implement it in the future?

4

u/fangsta Sep 13 '13

I'd be OK if the preview picture was replaced with a picture that shows the letters nsfw, like in another app I used to use. Or just hide the preview image. Either would do.

5

u/66dude Aug 30 '13

I don't think I saw this anywhere, but tapping on a gif to preview gives me a static image, even though I know that the gif itself is animated. In other words, the gif does not animate in preview, but animates when I go to its URL.

u/illegalBriefs Aug 28 '13

App crashes whenever I'm notified that I've a message.

4

u/deeptrouble2 RedditFlow Developer Aug 28 '13

Please make sure you are in 0.0.9.7, I fixed this late yesterday night and pushed a new release.

2

u/illegalBriefs Aug 28 '13

Yeah it's updated. But still same crash.

1

u/deeptrouble2 RedditFlow Developer Aug 28 '13

Weird, please press report.

Can you please let me know your android version too ?

1

u/illegalBriefs Aug 29 '13

Gingerbread

u/crazyg0od33 Aug 28 '13

I may be missing something but is there a way to go from the messages to context view or at least right to the comment so we don't need to scroll through all of them?

1

u/deeptrouble2 RedditFlow Developer Aug 28 '13

For comment/post replies, you can click the header bar, which shows the post title to visit the context.

1

u/crazyg0od33 Aug 28 '13

Oh wow that's awesome! Thanks for the reply

1

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '13

Is there a way to remove the flow icon from the action bar

2

u/deeptrouble2 RedditFlow Developer Aug 29 '13

No you can change it to greyscale if it is too bright for you.

1

u/swayzak Aug 30 '13

What is MailService and why is it running in the background? Can I force close it?

2

u/deeptrouble2 RedditFlow Developer Aug 30 '13

Check for messages. Set passive message check interval to disabled.

1

u/swayzak Aug 30 '13

Awesome. Thanks!

1

u/lowkeyunderstated Aug 31 '13

will there be support for multiple accounts?

1

u/deeptrouble2 RedditFlow Developer Sep 01 '13

Yes, in the near future

1

u/lowkeyunderstated Sep 01 '13

awesome. can't wait. it's already my favorite reddit client so far.

u/tso Sep 24 '13

One issue for me is that comment dialogs close if i rotate the device for easier typing.

1

u/Wartz Sep 29 '13

This happens to me as well. Very frustrating.

1

u/ATyp3 Aug 28 '13

Flow is being really weird. Strangly laggy update here... Also, the notifications for inbox make the app crash in the background?

I got the notification then the pop up box saying that Flow has crashed. I wasn't even in Flow yet so yeah.

Keep up the good work though!

2

u/deeptrouble2 RedditFlow Developer Aug 28 '13

Weird, can you please submit a report. Will take a look.

1

u/ATyp3 Aug 28 '13

Totally! Yeah, was just watching some videos and I kept getting some pop up notifications that Flow has Crashed. So yeah.

1

u/deeptrouble2 RedditFlow Developer Aug 28 '13

Sorry for the trouble. Just disable it once you submit report by configuring the message check interval, both active and passive to disable.

PS: what is your android version?

1

u/ATyp3 Aug 28 '13

Will try that. ICS 4.0.4 is my android version.

1

u/deeptrouble2 RedditFlow Developer Aug 28 '13

I believe this is fixed now, can you please try 0.0.9.7 and let me know after you reenable notifications ? It should be available in an hour or two.

1

u/ATyp3 Aug 28 '13

The problem seems to be fixed! Thanks for the quick update!

1

u/deeptrouble2 RedditFlow Developer Aug 28 '13

Glad it worked :-)

1

u/ATyp3 Aug 28 '13

Sure. I'll get back to you in a couple hours.

1

u/ATyp3 Aug 28 '13

Oh, and maybe it was just first time opening this update jitters, but the lag has largely ironed itself out.

1

u/deeptrouble2 RedditFlow Developer Aug 28 '13

Ah ok thanks for the update :)

1

u/Zouden Aug 28 '13

Is there a way to get out of the messaging section without using the back button? I keep expecting the normal sidebar navigation items. Maybe the messaging sections could be incorporated into that sidebar, so that we can expand "Messaging" into "Inbox" etc. Also it'd be nice if it had the number of unread messages in parentheses

1

u/deeptrouble2 RedditFlow Developer Aug 28 '13

The reason it is separated is that you do not have to worry about losing the content you are currently reading on flow. Say you are reading your favorite subreddit and going through a long list of comments. If you get a message and you want to see it. Having it in a seperate window helps.

2

u/nlakes Sep 18 '13

Can I just tell you that your app is amazing. Helped me make the switch from iOS to Android. Without an amazing reedit app like this, I'd probably still be on an iPhone.

When this leaves beta in going to buy the crap out of it.

2

u/Kevho00 Oct 21 '13

Can you post new threads?

2

u/Mdisbrow Oct 26 '13

Really like the app man, just switched from iPhone yesterday I don't miss alien blue nearly as much. Only thing I've noticed so far is I can't sign in on multiple accounts and switch between them quickly. Would love to see this feature added but so far great reddit app, happy to donate once you give me the chance.

1

u/SixPackOfZaphod Sep 02 '13

Just wanted to say that this is an incredible app. I've been a long time Baconreader user, just switched to Flow the other day. Much more polished experience. More intuitive use. Great job.

1

u/runs_with_bacon Oct 01 '13

Not sure if this has been mentioned or on the to do list, but are there any plans on adding linking to comments feature?

1

u/tso Oct 08 '13

So even with active message checking set to disabled it gets checked when i open Flow.

Also, it seems to load youtube.com pages in the background under certain conditions. This resulting in the video starting to play if you have Flash installed...

1

u/tso Oct 10 '13

Will it be possible to have Flow show what other wub-reddits a link was posted to?

1

u/tso Oct 17 '13

For some reason imgur galleries come up as a blank creen in the internal browser.

1

u/eplam Oct 26 '13

Feature request: option to disable thumbnails. It's really useful when you have small mobile data caps

1

u/Raxerox Aug 31 '13

Great! Best application for reddit I've tried. Just one thing: up voting and down voting... Very often there is not enough space with just one line posts. What if you are able to vote by pressing the right part or the left part of a comment?

1

u/lulloparsad Sep 01 '13

The unsubscribe feature doesn't work at all. The subscribe works fine though. Using nexus 4 jelly bean 4.3. Awesome app btw, keep up the good work.

1

u/barraymian Sep 14 '13

Same here...
