R2R App Feedback Thread for iPhone Users - Found a Bug? Got an Idea? Share It Here!

Not necessarily a bug but are different emoji responses not available? Online we have thumbs up, mind blown, money, hugs, etc..

I don’t see the exact ones we would normally see, but if you long press on the heart reaction button it should pop up with more options.

When I try to add limited photos from my phone library the text at bottom of screen is white against a white background. I can see some text is there but can’t read it. It selects and deselects.

I'm on android and i just tried it on your comment, nothing happened.

This is what I see on my iPhone. Maybe it’s an android bug?

Here’s how it works:
Drop a comment below with any bugs, issues, or feature ideas. We’ll be using this thread to create internal support tickets for our developer team. While we likely won’t respond to each post here, rest assured that every report is being reviewed and tracked on our end for resolution.

Thanks again for being part of the R2R family—and for helping us make this app the best it can be for the entire reefing community!

Feature request: more options for search. Being able to select to search threads only and to select which forum to search. Without it, search isn’t of much use, IMHO.

Idea:
In messages you should be able to click there profile picture and name and it pops up their profile and posts

I’m not sure what in the app is causing it, but when I’m scrolling it will randomly pause/stop media from playing. I have to go back to my music app and resume it manually.

Noticed the same for me.

Videos posted on the app cannot be viewed by people not using the app.

 

[Daniel@R2R]

Thanks everyone for your feedback! We have passed these items on to our developer.

I will also try to answer a few of these issues in subsequent posts as a few things I may be able to help with.

 

[Daniel@R2R]

Not sure if its a feature that I have not found yet, but I like going through the "unanswered" tag to answer questions. Don't think I found a good way to do that

On the app, you can actually click the "unanswered" prefix ancd get a list of unanswered threads. This will work with any prefix. In the future, we hope to add search by prefix (we are planning to rework the search function to make it much better in a coming version.

 

[Daniel@R2R]

Not sure if I’m just missing it, but I’m not seeing an option to view my bookmarks in the app.

Watched threads are visible from your profile page. Click on your avatar to get there.

Can’t scroll through pictures on posts like you could on the website. Now you have to close out of the picture and click on the next one in order to view it full screen instead of just swiping to the next one

 

[Daniel@R2R]

Okay I’m new and slightly below average intelligence so these might not be bugs at all:

1) I’m unsure of how to locate my posts. I know how to find my threads on my profile but in the threads with a lot of posts I can’t seem to find my own.

2) The “Latest” category threads have a time at the top right that is inconsistent with the time that the thread was actually posted. For example it’ll say 10 seconds ago in the “Latest” category but then I open it and the post is actually several hours old. Perhaps it’s like YouTube where you get a delayed notification for uploaded videos? (I haven’t checked the other categories)

3) When I try to edit my profile pic, it doesn’t crop to the area that I want it to crop to. As in it’ll just use the entire photo.

4) Sometime I won’t get the “Expand quote” button and both the original comment and the reply will get cut off. I took a screenshot of what I mean.

Thanks for this. These issues will be looked into. On the 2nd one, I can help. The time stamp you see on the latest page is for the most recent post in that thread. It isn't an indicator of when the thread was started. Hope that helps!

I don’t see the exact ones we would normally see, but if you long press on the heart reaction button it should pop up with more options.

We actually just uploaded a new Android version this afternoon, so he should see the reactions available for Android now too.

Add emojis like the website

Emojis should work directly from your phone just like if you were sending a text.

 

[Daniel@R2R]

Videos posted on the app cannot be viewed by people not using the app.

I see videos from the app on my web browser (I use Chrome). I think this is a Safari browser issue (it's actually a Cloudflare issue, but it only impacts Safari I believe).

 

[Reefer Matt]

I could use an upload button to the R2R YouTube channel.

 

[Reefer Matt]

Maybe put in a few less ads? Say one every 10 posts instead of three? This will allow more posts to be viewed in one glance. Not a biggie for me though.
