Still fighting with Apple...unfortunately today's rejection was an invalid one. The reviewer somehow "missed" the entirety of the conversation with the last one, and didn't realize that everything that was requested had been implemented and resolved...
I've submitted a response to that as well as escalated it to an appeal. Hopefully today we will hear something back.
Here are the changes made in this version:
Sharing images inside of the image viewer will now download the image to be shared as an image, not as a link
Link helper respects the theme and uses the URL keyboard for the link
The post viewport should respect keyboard height and fill the remainder of the space
Read icon now uses the correct theme/accent color (thanks ktgd)
All /c/community links should now work (thanks ktgd)
The last account you used is now remembered (thanks jderose)
Search will automatically take you to the community or user if you include the @instance
All refresh controls will respect the theme (no longer invisible)
Added top hour, top six hours, and top twelve hours (I need to add them to defaults, I’ll do that here in a bit)
Fixed image save/share not being present in compact mode
Made sure that images that are both present in the URL and in the body of the post don’t show up twice
Profile reload issues (i.e. if it fails to load) should be fixed
Link info not displaying in posts is now fixed
Blur respects the current theme
Voting on a post in search now reflects that vote
Modifications to the profile screen. This will help with load times when all you’re doing is looking at someone’s profile
Performance improvements in the feed
Performance improvements in comments
Collapsing large comment chains no longer causes freeze/crash
Performance improvements in profile
Performance improvements in inbox
The next update should include post deletion/editing as well as the remainder of the missing items in the inbox. Additionally, we have a much better slider available now for comments/posts voting so we will be implementing that.
At some point I guess push notifications are going to be a feature request which will need backend infrastructure, as was the cost to Apollo.
I’ll happily pony up on subscriptions if that’s the case.
When Apollo launched the feature it was with the option for lifetime. Don’t do that! Well do do that and I’ll take advantage but one would be betting in the future.
I did the same with Apollo, I bought the lifetime pass but I would do donations every so often too, as long as an app is maintained I have no probs paying for it
He did add new users under the monthly subscriptions, I’m fairly sure he made good money from the app so I wouldn’t feel too bad when he shut the app down the refunds were gonna be like $250k. Besides there was always the option for tips still too.
This is why I’ve brought it up early, this app is off to an amazing start so I’d like to support it and keep it going.
I’m sure he made good money and I did tip occasionally to be fair.
I’m with you on this 100%. If the app is as good as everyone says then monthly subs to drive dev and actually make the dev an income, like Christian did, has to be the way to go. 👍🏻
