I bought this app, and it is a very fast and good client for browsing my favorite boards. However, there are sometimes large lag spikes on my Galaxy S8 Active. Otherwise, the built in video player is not very easy to work, and you cannot pause some videos. On top of this, the seek bar doesn't operate like most do. You have to click at some other point on the bar to get it to go back. I think this is much less precise than a tap and drag seek bar. I like the app a lot, but it needs some work.
Edit: Working again. Five stars. Love the app and have been using it for years but it suddenly refuses to load any boards. Can still add/remove boards and tweak settings. Tried it on two different Motorola e5 Play smartphones and got the same result even after a factory reset on one. Hope this problem gets resolved. Will gladly change to five stars once it is fixed.
I've used this app for a long time, I knew it was a project from /g/ and supported it. However I have noticed in the past 6 or so months the app will run in the background despite being closed and be "using" things like my camera and microphone here and there, that's not a very nice thing to do. So as any smart person would do I have uninstalled it after it recorded 18 minutes of audio today in the background and stored it as its app data. It's a damn shame honestly.
Creme de la crop. Have an issue since I upgraded to Android 10, it won't let me download images. Keeps asking me to allow permissions, when I do it just asks again. Made different folders no difference. Please help devs Edit: Quick response from devs providing a solid workaround to my issue. Hope bug is fixed soon!
Not sure what has been going on with the app's development but it's worse than last year that's for sure. Mostly issues with loading threads and downloads, which is only fixed by restarting the app. Everyday at least once the app won't even load the board list, literally unusable unless I force closing the app and restating, but why should I even do that? It was a good app but until the bugs fix, stay away from it. I spent money for this premium version, at least make it usable.
Overall great app. Some major points below PROS -Visually appealing -Responsive -Ability to only scroll through images in a thread -Ability to bookmark and switch between multiple threads quickly CONS -I can post from my phone fine normally through Chrome, but something with this app says "unable to post due to IP ban". Seems like it's something with the app itself. -Have to add each board manually (like adding "/b/" to browse random) -Comes with a few preset boards with no way to remove them
This is pretty much the best and most convinient reader app that exists. Its clean, snappy and smooth. There is one feature I'd like to see however, a slideshow function for image boards. That would make it go from a 4 to a 5 star app. Would definitely reccomend supporting the devs.
Completely broken and useless for weeks now. Original: love this app. Dev does a good job at keeping it up to date. I do have one request though. Please add an option to disable the little square gallery button when going through a threads images. I always accidentally click it and have to start at the top of the thread.
App is decent, but struggles with multiple threads open along with so e other glaring issues. I have had my download folder purged MULTIPLE times with updates for no good reason, it is very irritating. Also youtube links almost always break the app, losing all your open threads. I wish there was a way to bypass the captcha too, the legacy captcha wasn't such a tedious task.
I bought the app for no ads. I was granted that, but the only issue I have is that the app often freezes on an image. This issue does not occur for the free version for me, only the paid app freezes. I've found myself going back to the free version due to this issue. Does this happen to anyone else or is it just me?
Works just fine. Better interface than omni and reader. Seems to get regular updates. Never had a problem with slowdown or getting corrupted images when saving like other users have mentioned. No problems with captchas or posting. Using an LG G7. No complaints. Happy to support the project.
Works really well. Well enough that i bought the ad free version. Only problem keeping it a 4 star is that I can't copy and paste text to and from the app. New problem with latest update. I cant save images. It tells me permission denied. Both problems are now fixed. 5 stars.
I personally do like using this app, it works really well, saving media wasn't an issue. The one problem I am noticing is the ability to mark boards as favorite and getting notified when there are new posts like it was a few updates back.
The app was great for browsing various boards, my personal favorite being /ic. I'm on an android and the boards page is outright not loading, and along with that, there aren't any better alternatives, so I'm boned in that regard. I'd really appreciate some kind of support page.
The app has been great so far. However, with the most recent update I can no longer download images from threads. I use the same process as before yet the images will not download to the selected folder.
I love the interface and how simple it is, apart from a few occasional bugs it's perfect for lurking and the occasional post. RIP Mimi being taken off the playstore, after 2 years of use I can say you were one of the best.
Works decently fine most days. Often slow. Isn't able to load/play some videos every now and again. Sometimes will refuse to load anything completely which makes it absolutely unusable for indetermined amounts of time.
Not sure if it's just me, but the app doesnt let you copy text from posts and paste it outside of the app. Pretty disappointing if I'm trying to copy a link or a song name Other than that this is the absolute best app on the Play Store.
Functional, but the color schemes could use some improvement. For example, adding one that matches the website. Compatibility with other chans would also be a great feature.
Edit: Latest update fixed the saving issue, thank you devs, and keep up the good work! Its good but sadly with Android 10 on the Pixel 3 XL every time you saves asks for default sav directory and wont save any video or picture, hoping for an update soon :3 love this app
i like using this apo cuz it has an overview gallery that shows all the images in a thread as thumbnails all together. However, it keeps crashing randomly and its becoming a normal thing. Needs a fix now.
As of last update on 10/18 the app is now absolutely impossible to use. My OPs arent going into my bookmarks forcing a manual search for the thread. Now replies in threads aren't showing up. Have to close app and reopen to see replies. About every 4-5 pic downloads dont actually download, leaving a gray square in gallery. Lag has become so bad I can wait up to 30 seconds changing between threads. Now app tells me Im banned if Im not(web fine)
Really sad at the state of this. Getting a basic text reply to load is impossible now. Tapping to open a thread takes me a different thread entirely sometimes. Refreshing barely works. Random app crashes. But I'm still using it in the hope that it can be fixed. Huawei p20 pro.
Fix the loading problems. Infinite loading screens if you have too many tabs i think, it's completely random when it chooses to function. If you ignore the overglaring issue however, this app is pretty damn good. Maximum lurking, replies aren't too finicky, captcha is 10x easier. Only problem was ads but since I got the paid version, it's fixed. Now it's a different issue with the app 'crashing' (soft locking) randomly.
