Hi everyone,

We are aware that the TestFlight version is pretty unstable at the moment, with a lot of bugs and crashing. This is because we are in the middle of rewriting our entire state management. We appreciate the testers who let us know what issues there, are but please be respectful when doing so.

If you don't wish to deal with the current instability of the TestFlight version, please download the App Store version as that is meant to be stable. When using TestFlight, you get all the latest features, but that also means you get the latest bugs too :D

As another reminder, creating bug reports in GitHub is still the best way to have your issue addressed.

Thank you to everyone who helps us test Memmy!

Sean

People that install beta software and then complain about stability are puzzling

To be fair a lot of people have it on TestFlight because originally that was the only way to get it.

[-] Hazzard@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I think lots of people had FOMO about missing updates whenever the App Store version dropped, and mistook the stability of "preparing for release" as what the stability would be long term.

It’s not like you don’t know it’s beta software though. Installing TestFlight and adding Memmy involved many steps.

… but please be respectful when doing so.

Wow, sounds like people are being pretty harsh about bugs while using beta software. That’s pretty lame.

Not only is it free, but they’ve chosen to use the beta, while the stable build is available.

Anyway, great job on the app, guys. It’s one of the primary reasons I regularly use Lemmy now!

I’m happy to keep using Test Flight if you’re happy keep receiving my bug reports from the built in reporting feature, instead of having to go to GitHub? I don’t need responses or updates from your end so it feels like the most frictionless way to contribute?

It's very difficult to track bug reports in Test Flight tbh. Plus since users can't look at what's been reported, we see so many duplicates of the same bug. It gets very noisy. So because of that we don't really look at TestFlight reports right now. We just don't have the time to sort through them ourselves.

The team has done an amazing job on this app! Been running the TestFlight since the beginning and haven’t had any major issues. Love this app!

It’s the closest it’s come to filling the Apollo-shaped hole in my heart!

[Meta] Very minor but there are too many sticky posts, try to consolidate?

[-] Garacks@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Where can we report bug when we don’t have a GitHub account ?

[-] CatsGoMOW@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Is one of the bugs in the TestFlight version that you see posts repeated over and over as you scroll down a ways? That’s fine if it is, just wanted to confirm.

It’s like entire chunks of my feed repeat themselves multiple times as I continue to scroll down.

You’re doing a great job. It’s amazing how much you get done each release. Keep up the great work.

I’m sure you probably already know this, but tapping comments in the inbox was working fine and now there is a major lag. If you hit it multiple times, it will go to the comment multiple times.

In terms of future features, it would be great if you kept all posts and messages that I start to creat in a draft area in case I am unable to post them at the moment that I create them for any reason.
