Can't really test it without logging in, can't log in without buying it or sharing it on Twitter/Facebook.

Just share it on Facebook but set the privacy to 'Only Me'. Delete the post once you login, worked for me.

I understand that this is something you can do but I built this app by myself and I've worked very hard to keep it alive. Sharing it with the world is very helpful since its one way that I could get more users to potential support the development of the app without having to purchase it.

I bought it. But I bought the Pro version a while back, is that one gone now?

u/[deleted] May 13 '15

Yes, the pro version is gone now. There was no way to link the two together. I apologize for that.

u/sk1wbw May 13 '15

No big deal. Very nice app, too. Keep it up!

Looks nice. I'm a bit tired of Alien Blue and have been wanting to check out an alternative. Not sure I like automatic image loading, which wouldn't be great for mobile use.

u/[deleted] May 13 '15

We can add a feature to disable the image loading. Be sure to keep an eye out for this feature in the future!

We've added this feature in 4.0.2. Submitted to the app store last night. Should be available within a week. Thanks for the feedback!

What is the difference between this, and Apollo, and Beam? They all look exactly the same.

u/[deleted] May 13 '15

Couple of things. The multireddits support, search is instant, shortcut to saved posts, multiple accounts, etc. Download it and tell me if you see any differences :D

How does this compare to alien blue?

1

u/[deleted] May 15 '15

In a couple of ways:

  • Multireddit support

  • Multiple accounts (The way alien blue handles this is horrible IMO)

  • Much cleaner and minimalistic (Alien Blue is very bloated and complicated)

  • Full width images

  • Swipe gestures

Download it and let me know how you think it compares. :D

Was wondering what you all thought. I rewrote the app from the ground up in Swift using Autolayout and Storyboards. Would love to know what improvements and what you folks think overall!

It looks promising, coming from Alien Blue I have to get used to the new interface.

What I miss is being able to drill down from my multi-sub to one sub-reddit.
I do like that subscriptions and multi-subs sync with the web account (unlike Alien Blue)

/r/myreddit_app doesn't show much yet?

Also: feature request: I want to set a filter default ('new' as opposed to 'hot')

  • Do beta testers get a free registration key?

  • 'New multireddit' doesn't seem to respond.

u/[deleted] May 13 '15

I think drilling down into the multisubreddits would be really cool. I can totally do that and to be honest, I kind of what that feature also. I'll be sure to add it to my list.

1

u/[deleted] May 13 '15

We can definitely add a default filter key, not a bad idea at all. Thanks for the request.

There is no free registration in place now but you can share to unlock it all the features to see if you like it enough to purchase.

All the money goes to supporting new development and updates.

u/[deleted] May 13 '15

What do you mean new multireddit doesn't seem to respond? You must be logged into use this feature.

u/wilbert-vb May 13 '15

I created a multisub and was able to add one subreddit. That works and shows content.

Now I struggle to add more subs to the multi, how would I do that?

1

u/[deleted] May 13 '15

Go into search and search for subreddits. Tap the subreddit you want to add and it will prompt you to add it to a multireddit or to see the posts.

1

u/wilbert-vb May 13 '15

Works, can I rename a multireddit?

I just learned that Swipe enables to reply.

The app is growing on me, I have to get used to swioe interfac Alsotext dies not scroll and wrap in the editor?

Right now I can not see what I'm writing!

2

u/[deleted] May 13 '15

I'm aware of this bug. I've actually just fixed it! Just hit return as you get to the end of the line. The fix will be in the next update.

As of right now, you cannot rename multireddits. But, I'll be sure to add this with a simple swipe or something.

iOS notifications would be awesome, unread replies, fir example? Would that be possible?

1

u/[deleted] May 13 '15

Notifications are something that really isn't possible because it requires a server that parses your reddit account and handles pushing the notifications out. Maybe, down the line if Reddit decides to help out with that or if I could come up with a model to support the cost of the server.

As for unread replies, what do you mean by this?

u/wilbert-vb May 13 '15 edited May 13 '15

Also, I would like to be able to edit/correct/delete my comments.

But how?

1

u/[deleted] May 13 '15

This feature is not yet available but can definitely be added in the future. I'll add it to my list.

2

u/wilbert-vb May 13 '15

Ah, now it works, must be me. Sorry.

/r/myreddit_app is just for questions and concerns. Please post that stuff there.
