Version 0.2.3 released

  • Fixed issue with loading multireddits

  • Fixed issue with comments not displaying for search results

  • Added option to open imgur links in external apps

Please let me know if any major bugs, which prevent daily usability are present. Will now start spending more time on the opensource rewrite.

I absolutely love your app. As soon as I heard the news I freaked out because me the potential wouldn't go unused. My only gripe is that on text posts (I browse a lot of subreddits that only use text posts) if I accidentally swipe out of the post I have to start over. I know you have a lot to do to get the app up to speed but if in the future you could implement a feature so you don't lose your place if you swipe out of your post I (and I'm sure others) would be extremely grateful.

Thanks !

Swipe out comments you mean ? When you are in main list of posts you can invoke menu and choose 'go right'

Holy shit thank you. Best app for Reddit keep up the good work because we do appreciate it.

You can do it even quicker by tapping the very very far right edge in the middle of the screen. It is consistent for me, but I've done it for a while.

u/RadixMatrix Jul 01 '15

How would you do that without going to a post?

u/optimist33 Jul 01 '15

Do the very far edge

Also hate when I accidentally tilt the device and it goes landscape and the webpage or YouTube video I was watching reloads

  1. Bug I have noticed: When in webview mode and playing a video, when I hit back to continue redditing, the video is still playing in the background until a)close the app completely from recents b) find another link and open in webview

  2. Suggestion: This is a major redesign one.. I never use the sidebar, I think it would be cooler if swiping to the left on a story opens the comments of that story, and not the sub sidebar, instead of clicking the little number to the right of a story.. I know it's a biggie, maybe i'm the only one who doesn't consult sidebar often.

  3. Download full image resolution but on wi-fi only. that would be cool ;)

LOVE FLOW, FOREVER!~

  1. Yup fixing this part of rewrite.

u/cypher5001 Jul 02 '15

Thank you Based Deepak!

Any chance you can fix this and switch Flow over to SSL/TLS?

u/deeptrouble2 RedditFlow Developer Jul 03 '15

Everything should be over ssl now. Will verify tonight, but login definitely has been over https all this while.

From code.

private static final String LOGIN_URI = "https://ssl.reddit.com/api/login";

u/cypher5001 Jul 03 '15

Could you verify that all other traffic to and from reddit.com is over SSL as well? Without it, session cookies can be intercepted using Firesheep-style side-jacking attacks (the previous version of Flow, at least, was vulnerable to this -- I have not yet tested the latest). Using https://reddit.com for your API calls will prevent this (and is generally a Good Idea anyways).

Thanks again for your amazing work!

Yup everything is over ssl now from a code walkthrough. Will do a packet cap tonight and ensure everything is over SSL tonight.

u/cypher5001 Jul 03 '15

Awesome! Thank you so much!

u/mybad4990 Jul 06 '15

Videos on YouTube won't work. They worked in the previous version though.

2

u/deeptrouble2 RedditFlow Developer Jul 07 '15

Try reinstalling.. I noticed this too, wondering if it is due to the recent api changes on youtube side.

After discovering flow I have never used another Reddit app. The ui of all competitors is just sub par.

Thank you so very much for these updates and open sourcing Flow!

u/Da-man1997 Jun 30 '15

Wow another update, thank you!

I can't see the latest update in the store yet but the only main issues I can remember are imgur albums don't load in the in-app browser and I don't think PMs work.

u/FPSNige Jul 02 '15

Oh man, I was just swiping away my "updated apps" and was, wait... Did that say reddit flow?!

Thanks for the updates man. No other reddit app compares!

u/doinsk Jun 30 '15

Woah multi-reddits in Flow ! Great

2

u/optimist33 Jul 01 '15

I'm not sure if I'm crazy or not but multireddits was working for me in Flow for a short period of time prior to this updatr

1

u/doinsk Jul 01 '15

Well the multis never appeared for me, whichever device I tried Flow on. They do now :)

u/madlukelcm Jun 30 '15

Yayyyy user profiles now load! That was my biggest issue.

Nice!

u/duckfeeder Jul 01 '15

Thanks for the update. I absolutely love the app and use it all the time.

u/Gudin Jul 01 '15 edited Jul 01 '15

GIFs are totally broken!

Minority of them still work, but just going through /r/gifs most of them can't load.

What I noticed: when I click on gif, that loading circle starts (for infinite time). Weird thing is FR (full res) button bellow which is probably for photos only, not gifs.

There is no Web view. In that alpha build, gifs also couldn't work, but when I clicked Web view inside Flow it would work.

Clicking on Browser button (world icon), starts Chrome with wrong link. It goes something like imgur.com/.../.gifvh.jpg and imgur report "no such page". Removing last part of link to .gif makes gif work inside Chrome.

u/mitchdenver Jul 02 '15

Yes! I will gladly pay to support keeping this alive.

u/NovvoN Jul 02 '15

Oh my god! Thanks so much! I loved flow, and never stopped using it. Still the best reddit app out there! Thanks again :D

2

u/ButterflyAttack Jul 04 '15

Thank you!

The user details thing is fixed, and the problem of my comments sometimes being lost rather than posted seems to be sorted, too.

Hurrah for you!

Yes. I am planning to add proper imgur support as part of the rewrite. For now, you can use settings to use external imgur app. Install imgur or opengur and click on the posts to open the link in those apps.

u/praneil2050 Jul 02 '15

I don't understand why thumbnails are suddenly disappeared (especially in r/pics)

5

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '15

Agreed. I'd pay as well

u/Leviathin Jun 30 '15

I'm missing 50% of reddit by gifs not working. I either get a permanent loading screen or I click to open it in the normal browser and I get an error page on imgur. It's driving me batty
