In order to get up to speed with the people that are coming here without TestFlight, I've submitted a build to Apple with all of the current features and fixes.

I'd anticipate this to take about 24 hours, but it's possible it will be reviewed today. Apple is weird. I've had things get approved in like 8 hours on Saturdays before, so there's a chance it will happen today. I'll update you all when that happens.

Improvements and additions:

New icon and options for changing icon color
New and improved swipe animation (by the way, this is better than the last update wink)
Improvements to image viewer (double tap works now too)
Performance enhancments throughout the app
Hide read posts
Images in comments
Collapsible posts
Default comment sort
All of the "Top" sort options
Show a loading modal while downloading images
Added a manage accounts button to accounts dropdown
Add option for reader in webview
Settings improvements
Added embark theme
Added buttons in comments for upvoting and replying
Adjustments to splashscreen
Username doesn't link to user profile in compact mode now
Add option to use the default browser instead of in-app browser

Fixes:

Fix issues with toast not changing color or disappearing
Fix cake day showing the wrong year
Fix issue where links with an internal IP address would ask for permission to local network
Fix issues with account disappearing after app launch
Read icon now uses the correct color
Fix crash caused when pressing Matrix links
Fix crash when searching for a community with an @ at the end

If any of these issues are bothering you now, rest assured they will be fixed for you quite soon.

Just be careful with a one time lifetime purchase. All devs of larger apps say that was a massive mistake. Learn from their mistakes. Although I was also a lucky Ultra lifetime user, I realize that push notifications are costly. I’d recommend against anything “lifetime.” Leave yourself an out. Do major release unlocks or something like that. Gives you room to not screw yourself or your users. Seems like a good balance.

Also, don’t be afraid to be transparent on costs, etc. That helped Christian immensely and you’ll gain a lot more subscribers who wouldn’t normally subscribe because they understand the economics. The ones who don’t would be considered bad money anyway.
