Thanks to all your feedback on the first 1.0.1 Release Candidate build, we’ve smoothed out some of the edges and are targeting an App Store submission tomorrow.

The Highlights:

  • Added swipe down to dismiss QuickLook preview
  • Added the ability to give profiles nicknames to display in the tab bar (settings -> appearance -> tab bar)

Full Changelog:

  • Added swipe down to dismiss QuickLook preview
  • Added the ability to give profiles nicknames
  • Fixed “show instance” toggles not doing anything
  • Fixed voiceover on the tab bar. It now properly announces each tab and is considered the last item in the view, so the reader starts in the right place and will select the tab bar on four-finger tap at the bottom of the screen
  • Improved voiceover on posts. The items in the info stack are now properly grouped and annotated.
  • De-emphasized the body of text posts in feed. Text post bodies now appear as secondary content (gray) in the feed instead of primary (black or white)
  • Added haptic feedback on long press account quick switcher
  • Fixed tab bar spacing on devices with a physical home button
  • Tightened up tab bar animations significantly
  • Added auto-selection of text fields in post and comment editors
  • Improved consistency of settings menus
  • Fixed an issue where all users in community feeds were being flaired as OP
  • Improved comment folding animation
  • Changed some stale links
  • Added .webp image support
  • Even more caching to further improve feed performance

Cheers, The Mlem Group

      I really liked Mlem but I feel like the performance got worse. Currently using the Voyager App from the App Store and loving it.

        Would you mind sharing some information to help us diagnose?

            Ah, that makes sense–that’s the App Store build, not the TestFlight, so it doesn’t have the new caching system. We just submitted the update to the App Store, so (Apple Review willing) you should get the smoother feed (and a bunch of other features) within the next couple days!

        I keep coming back to voyager again and again. The scrolling is buttery smooth, it‘s pretty much feature complete and the UI looks nice. Mlem has gotten pretty close, but the scrolling keeps being an issue.

          I’ve heard about it but I’m waiting for a official release. Not a fan of Betas.

        Funnily enough I was trapped in a post and had to force close the app after reading your comment.

          Oof, how did you get trapped, like you couldn’t swipe back or did the game master decide to spawn an overpowered dragon? XD

            Indeed, I couldn’t swipe or tap on “< Back”. Changing tabs worked, but I could not get out of the post.

        This is very odd–we’ve got most users reporting dramatic improvements, while a few are reporting regressions. Would you mind sharing some information to help us diagnose?

          I already commented on this issue with a screen recording. Maybe it got lost since the issue was already closed.

            You also opened an issue about the cursor jumping to the end of the line after the first character that we couldn’t replicate–both behaviors could be caused by something forcing view redraws on your device.

            Possibly a dumb question, but always worth asking: have you tried reinstalling?

              I just tried that, the editing issue seems to be gone, but the scrolling is still not smooth sadly

              Edit: editing issue reappeared shortly after
