Official community for the native iOS Lemmy app Avelon.
Available on the App Store!
Wanna be a beta tester and see new features early?
Having an issue with the upgrade on iOS. I’m seeing the button but no pricing, and when I click the button it says it can’t connect to the App Store.
Interestingly, in the App Store it only shows the tip jar as in-app purchases.
Let me also say, great work! Avelon single-handedly kept me engaged and interested in the Fediverse.
Same woes here.
Same here.
I’m also seeing the same thing. Also tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it didn’t fix the issue.
Looking forward to a fix
Same here, probably we need to wait an ios store update?
I totally support y’all having a pro mode, so I don’t want this to come across as me trashing on that in general. But I’m really disappointed to see the Content Filtering options behind a paywall. There are obviously a lot of people who are just going to use that to tailor things more to their preferences. But there’s also a lot of people who would use it to filter out posts that are harmful for them. I think you should reconsider making that a free option.
Hmm, good point. I've tried to focus the update on more "power user" stuff that's not strictly neccessary, but you're right that this could be the case. I'll think about it
I miss the jump comment button being gone now without a Pro account too
I definitely do have other opinions on what has been paywalled, but I think most of those are convenience features. However, content filtering is important for everyone so you can block harmful crap you don’t want to see. Especially being able to block harmful new instances before they get defederated.
Luckily in a few weeks we’ll all be able to block entire instances on our own.
just saw the price tag, 30 bucks for lifetime pro access is a big no no for me. I'm sorry and I maybe tip you a little amount for the app in its current state, but that price for this app and the locked features is way too high.
And just to put it into perspective, Apollo's Pro unlock (the state of the art app for reddit on ios!) was 5 bucks, so you maybe want to overthink that price tag again...
I agree. I bought Apollo instantly because the value was there. At $30 I’m going to hang back and see how the app fleshes out, but if I’m not getting features like GIF scrubbing in the meantime, I’m probably going to find an alternative. At $10 I would have hit the buy button immediately.
Oh, and I hate subscriptions. I’m never going to subscribe to an app. Just tell me what it costs and I’ll buy it if it’s worth it.
Same for me. 10 bucks would have been an instant buy
What are the prices for the upgrade options? I’m assuming they’re displayed when you choose an option, but since there’s an issue there I’m still in the dark.
Also, how do you attach images to replies?
30 bucks?! what the heck...i'm sorry man but this seems way overpriced. I mean there are full scale games in the app store which are not that expensive...
not saying that you should not get some money out of your work, but damn...
The swipe to go forward works amazingly, congrats on the release! 🥳
Thank you! 😁
Feedback on 1.06
Otherwise great app and the best one out there. Keep up the good work!
Only thing missing imo is the ability to have the comment jump button in the middle instead of the sides
Just went to go purchase premium for the month to try it out, but it said it failed to connect to App Store. Would there be any reason for the app to not be able to connect?
Hope you'll like it 😎 I misunderstood some stuff in Apple's review process so the app store item is not available yet. Will hopefully be working within a few hours!
Any update to share?
Yeah sorry, forgot to update the post - everything is up now!
Don’t know if it’s intended behavior or not, but when clicking on a post there’s no smooth animation, but when swiping back out of a post there’s an animation.
Nope, not intentional. Mind sharing your device/iOS version? I'll look into it!
iPhone 13 Pro Max on iOS 17.1 beta, could be because of the beta, not sure if it happened before the beta or not.
I’m seeing an animation both ways. 15 pro max on 17.0.3
Feature Request:
No rush, the app is definitely usable and I don’t mind switching apps to copy and paste every now and then
Thanks to the dev. It’s by far the most polished Lemmy app for iOS right now , and I’ve tried just about all of them.
The pricing is like, a week of morning coffees, so I’m not really sweating it. And that $14.99 for a year is a great option at $1.25/month if thirty bucks will break you.
I’m happy to have bought pro lifetime, and glad you’ve put the number of hours in developing Avelon. I look forward to seeing how it matures.
Oh, just FYI, I LOVE that Avelon is portrait only while scrolling threads. I browse a LOT with the phone while on the couch, or lying in bed, and currently NO other app stays in portrait when sideways. I don’t know any savages who read in landscape. That’s rightly reserved for videos or wide photos, in my opinion. It took Christian YEARS to figure out a toggle in Apollo where you could lock to portrait while browsing text, and auto-rotate only for videos or landscape-only media. It was why I bought Apollo Pro lifetime, finally! But, here’s your Pro lifetime subscription from me, so thanks for making it the way I like it already… ;)
Cheers
Can you pin this and get rid of the other pin? Updates should be pined.
Yeah sure, updated now!
Is there anyway to see video and gifs expanded in full screen and/or landscape?
Not at the moment. Adding support for a full screen videoplayer is in my backlog!
Nice! Thanks!
Hey, is it possible to swipe to hide post in pro mode? I only see option to hide above posts on swipe, in free version, but I’m looking for hiding that specific post. Otherwise, nice app!
Not sure I understand what you mean, should the posts be hidden permanently or just disappear once? For permanent hiding you could use hide read posts + swipe to mark as read
Many apps, like Apollo, offer the ability to “hide” the post by swiping it away. It would be a permanent hide and instant, without any other refresh.
I really don’t see the point of having to do two steps instead of one, which is what you’re suggesting do. It’s what I’m doing now, but it requires that we refresh the feed for them to go away (the second step), which is not ideal.
You already have swipe to “hide all above”, but not simply “hide”, which to be honest is kind of odd, and that is why I asked about pro.
