Newschoolers App Beta Feedback Thread

The beta app? It should have gotten replaced with the full version when we released it?

I think I deleted the beta app tester thing so it didn't update to the full version, but I just downloaded the full version onto my phone, i had no clue it was live on the app store haha

Full version should be much better. :)
 
Idea here, make it possible to search specific fourms not just across the entire site. IE, Site discussion, Ski Gabber, NSG, etc.

Also completely unrelated, do donations still get you the $ icon?

Seems likes lots of bugs lately. Weird symbols showing up in text. Titles of thread and media getting jumbled and words being added? Weird shit

Potentially you're just noticing the weird bugs now that activity is picking up. We're on a constant bug hunt, so thanks for the report!
 
Minor issue, but If I swipe diagonal while scrolling down, the screen will pan over horizontally to a white space, as if I were using the mobile browser.

Hmm anyway you can screen shot it? Android or ios?
 
No cults access & not tablet turned sideways wide friendly I deleted the app within minutes.

Will try again down the line.
 
Is there any way to make it so that when you swipe up on a Instagram story link it opens the link within the app, already signed in?

Unfortunately we can't, instagram opens it in their own browser we can't change that.

After it opens up in their browser is it possible to put a link to open in the app?
 
Did the behavior of the three lines button or menu button or whatever its called change? The one on the top left. When I'm anywhere other than home, it's always home, not the menu. So if I'm in this thread and want to go back to the thread listings I can't. I have to go home first then go back to the thread listings. Likewise if I'm in SG and want to go to NSG I have to go home first. I'm on an iphone.

Been wondering the same for a while! Makes me not want to browse the forums bc its impossible to just quickly check a thread and then go back to the main forum page. I think the app has always been like this.

This is a bug, were pushing a big update early next week.
 
Can you guys make it so once youre in the forums, you stay in the forums? For example if i hit ski gabber from the side menu, instead of having a button that brings you home, it takes you back to the main page of all the forums.

I hope that makes sense...the whole navigation of the app seems ass backwards to me. I feel like theres a lot of unnecessary button clicking and having to back track to get to you were before.

So the hard part there, is that is how iOS navigation works. You go down, and then back up... that is how almost every other app works, you just don't notice it.

We fought with this for a ton of time, and what is there is the best we could come up with for now that made the most users happy.

Try going to the main forum page first, then you'll come back to the main forum page. If you go directly to the forum, you'll come back to the homepage.

We had to do this for people who click on a forum thread off the homepage, and don't want to be stuck deep down in the forums after that.
 
From a thread:

2 things needed for attention:

1. when you listen to music, it will pause the music once in a while when u press on a thread or any button basically... wierd.

2. when you like a comment, it is delayed at first, it will say “0 likes” and jump to 3 once you like it, or go from “4 likes” and jump to 7.

i mean im no app developer but that seems silly to me. That means essentially you have 2 home buttons 90% of the time while youre in the app. If you go anywhere in the app from the homepage the "back" button leads you back to home...when you have a home button on the bar at the bottom of the screen.
 
just got a new phone and the bottom bar intrrudes on the “safe area” that’s supposed to be around the home bar. I hate that the home bar is always on the screen on iOS in general but it looks like it’s here to stay and it’s againt apples guidelines to put anything too close to it, bumping up the bottom navigation bar by a few points would be perfect

When i click on a photo in a thread it brings me to the top of the thread. Really annoying.

iphone 7 plus ios11.1.2
 
Also i know this was talked about earlier but was there any fix to the tiny ass reply box?

Edit- i guess its big now with the editor turned on, but when trying to edit part of a quote its pretty damn near impossible to do anything with a reply box thats an inch tall.
 
Well, I have something to ask for. I’ve got the iPhone X, I dunno if someone else here does, but my problems come from closing the app. As we don’t have a button, but a tiny bar in the bottom instead I’ve closed the app when I’ve reached out the bottom bar, as the “home button” just covers 3 icons down there. Is it possible to group all those icons in the left side, with an expandable to show them up?

I commented about the exact same thing 3 posts above this, to fix this the 5 icons on the bottom should move up to give the home bar more room, safari for example, and many other apps have moved their bottom bar up to that height when they optimize their app for the X

Sorry for repeating your message, I didn’t see it. But we definetly need some room for the bottom bar.
 
Blocking someone does not actually work on the mobile app. For example, I blocked broccollirabe and it still shows up whenever he PMs me as a notifcation on the app.
 
Can you fix the part if the app so we can choose which notifications to receive? Getting way too bombarded with push alerts lately.
 
it's been just about 150 days since apple announced the screen layout to developers for the iphone X and so far the NS app has been updated during that time, but there hasn't been any fixes for the layout error. The app already uses auto-layout to some extent since it fills the screen, but the tab bar impedes on the home bar indicator as myself and others have already pointed out in this thread.

I know its a minor thing for a minor amount of users but its really not that hard of a fix, the home bar needs 39 points of space according to a quick google search, and the tab bar rests above that occupying the remaining 44, same as other iphones

Update launched to address this, can you try it out and let us know if it works on iPhone X the way you want it to?

13889852:milk_man said:
I've been busy and haven't been on the app alot lately, and it signs me out. Is that supposed to happen?

No - but we just pushed out an update to address this. Are you on iOS or Android?

thank you for pushing out a specific update for this, sorry I whined about it, I appreciate you guys continuing to update and improve this awesome app. Unfortunetly this last update didn’t change anything on my end, even after a reset. The bottom navigation menu is still taking up the normal height and not expanded to give the homebar room. Here’s a screenshot using the latest update

Just pushed out another update.... can you check it out?

I should really get an iPhone X to test this. :)

don’t see it on my update page yet but I’ll forsure test and get back to you, and yea I highly recommend it, gestures are the future over buttons and the screen is incredible

separate issue, I just uploaded a new edit yesterday and I keep seeing different thumbnails on different devices. I pretty much instantly uploaded a custom thumbnail yet NS seems stuck on whatever default frame it chose, and it took a long time on the NS app to switchover to the one I chose. In the future should I chose upload at a later date vs immidietly to allow for the video to encode/thumbnail be set before it’s live?

I know it’s just a thumbnail but I think the difference between someone clicking (or tapping) on an edit with a shitty one vs “good” one is significant

I restarted my phone and now the apps nav bar is the correct height! Whatever update you pushed worked without even updating the app in the appstore on my end, thank you for fixing this!
 
I tried out the app and love the idea but have found it uses a lot more data than I wish to use because Im cheapy with a tracfone. Are there any data saving settings in the app?

On the same topic for info purposes I also have found that I cannot view the forums on Opera browser on my phone if any of the browser data saving features are on. It will work in opera mini but the sites functionality is all screwed up and you cant see parts of the page.
