Nice Vitor. I will try it again.

I don't undestand this ones.

Only I can update in store 😂🫂

Samsung user here... nope :(

Lists/Groups please :)

Please make it possible that when I reopen the app it remains where I left off and the new messages to load just after that point. It drives me crazy that each time it jumps to the newest one and I need to first manually scroll down to find where I left off.

I need to develop a whole database for that :( it will come.

Ohh, that sounds hard, but thanks!

But it should save the position between sessions. It should only break now when the aoS kills the app.

That doesn't work right either. If I left my phone for a few hours (3-4). When I reopen it jumps to around 1 hour from the newest note.

Hum.. did the app start from scratch? (It shows the splash screen when it does so)

Nope, that's why it's weird that it jumps to around 1 hour or 50 minutes from the newest note. If I reopen the app within an hour nothing changes but later it jumps. If the app was completely closed then when I reopen it it jumps to the first note.

Interesting.... I will investigate

Vitor never noticed because he never closes the app

Is the global post feed gone? I can't find it...

Nvm! Found it! Haha

It indeed does feel faster but is still bordering unusable for navigating quickly, which is quite frustrating.

Been having crashes on the latest release on an s23 ultra.

Clear cache makes it stable again for a while.

Crashes seem to happen when viewing the main feed. Let me know if you want me to grab a log.

Does it get slower before the crash? That's probably using too much memory.

Haven't seen it slow down, just instantly closes and then a ui pops up saying it was unstable and I should try clearing the cache.

I don't think it is using too much memory.

Got a screen grab of the error message.

Was it slow before it crashed? That is usually out of memory. We are still working on memory pruning options

No haven't noticed slowness, it just instantly closes out. Often switch between notifications and the main thread.

I'm getting many crashes while browsing. Speed is pretty good
