Hi all, it's been a while. This has been in the works for a while but due to time constrains it took a lot longer. As most have already experienced, reddit has been blocking more and more request & hopefully this update mitigates a few but unfortunately not all are fixable. I am continuing to look for solutions, keep track on the subreddit for status updates. Features: ------------ iPad Split View — Full support for multitasking and Split View on iPad. Peek & Share — Peek into posts and share posts/comments as images. Subreddit expansion — Added wiki, rules, and sidebar/info screens for subreddits. Theme presets — New preset theme options to quickly customize your look. Better link handling — Comment links now open in-app; improved link display in markdown. Haptic feedback — Added haptics to gallery scrolling and more interactions throughout the app. Search improvements — Load more results when searching users and subreddits. Bug Fixes ------------ - Reddit 403 errors now clearly indicate when you've been blocked by network security, with a link to Reddit status. - Fixed laggy posts list and various performance improvements. - GIFs now play as video instead of static images. - Fixed videos not respecting autoplay/mute settings. - Fixed card videos not pausing correctly when scrolling off-screen. - Improved gallery image loading and switched to PagerView for smoother swiping. - Fixed splash screen background sync issues. - Removed back button titles for cleaner navigation. - Various other under the hood fixes.
