Hello,

As the TF version specifically asked for feedback on a couple of points that I've noticed differences, here we are.

  1. ~~Performance: it feels less fluid than before on my iPhone 14 Pro. Not game-breaking, but scrolling is slower (it feels like it never uses 120Hz scrolling now), some actions (voting/saving) feel slower or take multiple taps to register/happen~~ (I was wrong about this, the TF version is visibly faster than the App Store one) and I've noticed quite a lot of videos not loading at all (usually NSFW ones). The player becomes irresponsive and in some cases I've had to reload the app to resume using it.

  2. Fonts: I'm not sure if the iPhone 14 Pro is considered small, and I use the font size slider at the 3rd point from the left, but the layout is slightly different. The fonts are larger than before, but if I move the slider one point to the left, they get smaller than before.

And one extra thing I've noticed: there is no way to scroll back to the top of a community or feed without triggering a reload. Is this intended?

Thank you though, this app keeps getting better.

Tapping the very top of the phone should scroll to the top. If you scroll manually you might be accidentally triggering the refresh gesture, so I may have to look at tweaking it a bit if that's happening to many people.

This happens to me as well, it almost seems like the refresh is too sensitive. here’s an example It’s happening in the example with just a quick flick of the screen scrolling back to the top of the feed. I hope the video shows that well enough.

That video is very helpful, thank you. I think this is a bug with how I calculate the pull-to-refresh gesture on certain screensizes. Will investigate!

edit: which device is that btw?
