Yeah I get what you mean. But I've developed a habit of using different clients for different things. One for replies, one for zapping, one for video, etc. It's great that we get to pick and choose from so many options.

They'll also have their ups and downs I think. Like it's been a while since I've used Amethyst because it's a massive drain on my phone's battery and many basic features don't work as they used to anymore.

But notifications are the most basic thing that all clients should have lmao. I’m not asking for complicated features 🀣

Notifs haven't been Primal's strong suit at all sadly

Great for zaps and video playback though

It could be a great client. It’s actually sad because one small bug makes everything great they’re doing worthless.

I don't think they're gonna listen because I don't think they prioritize the little things πŸ˜‚

They go for the flashy ones like the wallet, live streams, studio, etc.

Their mobile site still takes way too long to load. Like it's actually terrible. I try to share as little of Primal's links as possible.

But yeah, overall a great client for a lot of things.

I got a response from miljan after I made a shitshow out of it lol but why do I have to take it that far?

Just checked. Well-handled by them GG

Reminds me of how they listened to user feedback on the external signer feature and added it, another one of those flashy updates (which I wanted, so no complaints πŸ˜‚)

Sometimes devs tend to be adamant about the software they build and what they prioritize. I suppose that's normal.

Damus folks straight up said no to external signers and didn't even want to listen. So I just haven't bothered to use it or download it despite waiting for a long time for it to come on Android πŸ˜‚

We’ll see what happens with the next update but I’m not holding my breath

Man took the time to respond pretty well

Give him something lmao

Oh I appreciate it but I’m not gonna forget the other times when I got no response. I know others who have complained multiple times and gotten no response either. It’s a professional response but motivated by damage control.

That's fair! Hope they get that feature in finally

Massive drain on battery?

I used Amethyst for 1.5 hours actively today and battery drain was 12%

Is it not usual?

Idk I'm going by my phone's battery usage stats

Try the latest version of Amethyst and disable background usage(if active). I don't think you will face massive battery drain.

Data usage, on the other hand, is a different story.

Disabling background usage makes Amethyst perform poorly though

Never a good experience everytime I open the app again
