Just adding more user requests.
Full changelog

- Remove support for Android 5 and below. The new minimum Android version is 6 (API level 23).
- Fix side panel staying locked if search is opened and closed.
- Update dependencies.
- Fix bug where a bunch of mark read action failures are logged each you switch accounts.
- Fix gesture actions and gesture navigation conflicts.
- Fix broken volume navigation in post screen.
Update
Kept finding bugs left and right so spent like 6 hours fixing every bug I encountered. I don’t remember every bug I fixed so enjoy. If anyone finds any bugs let me know. Bug fixes will go out in v1.79.1.
Ok I went back and read through my commit so I can make a list of the fixes:
- Made the mod log bottom sheet easier to dismiss by swiping.
- Greatly improved the speed that the inbox screen loads
- Fix a bug where the edit comment quick action will be disabled/enabled when it shouldn’t be.
- Fix a bug where when an image loads, the image will have a height of 0 for 1 frame causing a flicker.
- Fix a bug where opening a post will sometimes cause the bottom nav to flicker in for 1 frame.
- Fix a bug where sometimes AVIF images will be loaded at a much higher resolution then necessary.
- Improve the loading spinner so that it waits a tiny bit before showing. This means that the loading spinner will not appear on screens that loads nearly instantly. This should be a slight UX improvement as it should decrease the frequency of you seeing the loading spinner for a frame and then disappearing.
- Fix a bug where when you are using full layout and have a max height set, sometimes the text in the full layout will appear as if the text has been offset by a random amount.
Update 2
v1.79.2 release. More bug fixes:
- Allow search field to be blank when doing a search. This is a valid search since sometimes you want to search for posts posted by a person a on community.
- Fix a bug where the post is obscured by navigation rail when in “tablet” mode.
- Fix a bug where back press on a post does not close the post in rare edge cases.
Update 3
v1.79.3
- Add shortcut from image viewer to post button. Also add the option to image peeking.
- Hide comment quick action if user is not allowed to modified the comment.
- Fix a bug where the loading indicator doesn’t hide sometimes.
- Fix crashes.
Update 4
v1.79.4
- Fix history tracking when “Swipe between posts” is enabled
- Fix position not saved when app is killed and recreated when “Swipe between posts” is enabled
- Fix more crashes.
Update 5
The last 2 versions were both attempting to fix a crash when “Swipe between posts” is enabled. However both attempts failed due to quirks in some code that is out of my control (it’s in Google’s code). After a lot of testing I think I finally have a fix.
v1.79.5
- Finally fix a crash that can occur when “Swipe between posts” is enabled and the app is killed and restored a few times.
Kept finding bugs left and right so spent like 6 hours fixing every bug encountered.
Thank you for all your hard work. We appreciate it!
Thank you for making such a fantastic client.
If anyone finds any bugs let me know.
Clicking on the “open context” button while in tablet mode results in the post being partly obscured by the sidebar:

Post is partly obscured by sidebar:
Will be fixed in next release.
That was a quick fix. Thank you very much!
Image peeking is great, cheers mate 👍
Glad you like it!
Add “edit comment” comment quick action.
Yay, thank you!

Might be related, when I scroll down the list of my own comments on my profile almost always a loading spinner will appear and not go away again. It will still remain on the list of my posts.
Thanks for reporting. Should be fixed in the lastest update.
I think something broke with the predictive back animation, it used to follow my finger but now it jumps straight into the max position and stays there.
Though I am running Android 17 Beta 2 so that could be the reason it broke.
Predictive back is an overloaded term. Can you explain which animation you are talking about? Eg. Is it the animation that plays for dismissing the app or something else?
My bad, I’ve tested a bit more and only the animation that plays when you close a post and go back to feed has this issue, all others are fine.
Which device are you seeing this issue on? I am unable to reproduce this on my end.
Odd. It’s Pixel 8a running Android 17 Beta 2. Here’s a recording of what I mean so there’s less confusion. The second transition (transparent one) works as it supposed to, I included it as a reference that some transitions do work.
But anyway, this is a super insignificant issue that doesn’t affect my use, so if you can’t reproduce it then it doesn’t really matter.
Oh, that behavior is intentional. Due to some annoyances with animations I can’t easily make it follow your finger but it should snap back if you cancel the back. It’s low priority for me to make the animation reactive to finger location.
Got it. Not really a big deal, but I’m a bit curious what changed since it worked before.
The previous behavior was janky as well. It moved the screen around but didnt show the screen before it. This new animation shows the screen before it at the cost of not being as reactive.
Thank you for the update! One request: please make it so it doesn’t display the edit comment quick action on comments I can’t actually edit. The greyed out button takes up valuable space and makes the button list scrollable on deeply nested comments which feels kinda annoying
Fixed in the latest update.
