Settings reset on iOS10

150 Upvotes

Apologies for this not being fixed yet, I've been working on it for the last few weeks since iOS10 was in beta and was hoping it would not be such a huge issue.

I still don't know why this would have happened but will hopefully get a new version out by 22 Sept to fix this

I gave Antenna a visual refresh

132 Upvotes

One of the only real criticisms I see posted about Antenna, is it's visual design. Its UX is great, and keeps me coming back every time I try out a prettier app, but it looks a little dated and cluttered in places.

I haven't done anything groundbreaking, or changed how the app behaves; I just added some breathing room, uniformity, and a more modern look to what is already my favourite Reddit app. I also added a few images to show how a simple themes function could work.

If you have a 6/6S plus, this album will be 1:1 sized for your screen.

I also made a short GIF to show it in action.

/u/amleszk, if I'm stepping on toes let me know and I'll delete these. It's a great app, I just wanted to see how a redesign might look.

Edit: Thanks for all the positive comments, I appreciate it. And for anyone who prefers the way it looks right now, that's fine too, design is totally subjective.

Welcome Antenna reddit client for iPhone and iPad (formerly amrc)

110 Upvotes

Edit: Thanks beta testers!

Release 8.3 with name change is on the App store!

The new name Antenna is in response to some claims of trademark from reddit. Any apps using the reddit logo need approval - which we don't have anymore. The former name 'AMRC' was an unimaginative acronym of my initials and RC (reddit client) so making a new logo is difficult with that as a starting point. Hopefully you like the name, nothing else has changed except some small improvements and bug fixes. That's all for now. Thanks!

Imgur gifs not playing

In not sure if I'm alone in facing this issue but it seems that every gif hosted by imgur only plays for a few seconds and freezes.

Seriously, the settings reset bug is annoying as hell. If the beta that fixes it has other problems, they couldn't be worse. Please push it!

Request: Please implement the NSFW preview setting as toggled by the main Reddit website settings NSFW

76 Upvotes

I am an adult. My job is super casual. NSFW content just isn't an issue in my life. I subscribe to many subreddits that frequently post NSFW content - not even porn, lots of other stuff - WTF, medical subreddits, photography, etc. Antenna is by far my favorite Reddit app, but not being able to see NSFW content previews is kind of a deal breaker. It eliminates a huge portion of content while casually browsing. Can the app mirror the main Reddit website setting like Narwhal does?

8.17 Feedback thread

70 Upvotes

Hello antenna users, i released an update finally and it contains some risky changes. Most of all is the change to the way data is stored.

This has no feature change in the app but will increase stability. There’s 2 ways to store local data as an intermediary step for now. Either way will have some bugs but hopefully nothing serious

When posting bugs, my ability to reproduce the bug is the most important thing. If you see it happen only once then its useless, so include steps, urls and screenshots. They all help

Lastly please dont hate on me too much. This is a one person dev team for Antenna

Some know issues:

  • When upgrading, subscribed subreddits will appear twice. Workaround: pull to refresh subreddits

  • vision impared devices will not be able to read posts. No workaround

  • Device memory will not be managed correctly when viewing gif posts, so antenna will become unstable and crash after viewing lots of gif video posts. Workaround: force close app to get back the memory

  • long press on a post as a moderator will freeze antenna. No workaround

Antenna 8.10 Released

68 Upvotes

Thanks to everyone for their patience with data issues - hopefully the last of it for now. Seems like the source of lots of cache bloat was from embedded Safari/Web views not automatically clearing as I assumed they would. I recommend going straight to Settings > Clear cache to get that space back after installing 8.10 version. Web cache is set to auto clear anything older than 1 week

  • Extended Post previews to include Gifs, Youtube videos, Albums, Self text, External links (Settings > Post listing: Preview)

  • Fixed instances of cached data never being deleted

  • Added Settings option to clear all cached data under Settings > Data usage > Clear cache

  • Added 3d touch option to choose which shortcuts to include, under Settings > 3d touch shortcuts > Choose

  • Sub filters are no longer applied to viewing subreddits directly (although still applied in aggregates) thanks /u/L3g9JTZmLwZKAxAaEeQk (https://www.reddit.com/r/Antenna/comments/57n0wp/suggestion_subreddit_filters_should_not_be/)

Antenna is removed from the Appstore. I'll post updates here until it's back

61 Upvotes

A few other apps have also been removed: https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/4edau1/psa_apple_pulled_narwhal_and_others_from_the_app/


Apr 11, 2016 at 6:29 PM From Apple Dear Developer,

We are writing to notify you that your app has been removed from the App Store because it contains a mechanism to enable or disable Not Safe For Work (NSFW) content, including pornographic content, which violates section 18.2 of the

This is the official message, no other comments from Apple. I believe this setting is the cause of the breach: http://imgur.com/ulxc9LB. If it's true Antenna will stay off the store until the next update, which I'm in the process of expediting.

In reality this setting is only applicable for those who seek out that NSFW content - which is already been filtered by requiring a login. To get this issue cleared up soon as possible, the setting 'Preview NSFW content' will be removed and default to 'Disabled'. This is hopefully a temporary measure until the preview can be enabled again using a some reddit preferences - found here: https://www.reddit.com/prefs/.


11:36 EST: Apple responded that they are reviewing the new version


11:44 EST: New version is Approved, apologies for those that used the NSFW preview. Antenna should be appearing on the App store again

Dev Response 9.1 Antenna - Available on Test flight and in review on the App store

57 Upvotes

NOTE: since this upgrade changes the underlying database, if you downgrade to app store version you may lose some data or encounter other bugs.

Apple has added an easier way to signup for test flight by opening this link r/https://testflight.apple.com/join/zhMvHxnp

- Added new comment links preview option, when enabled, certain URLs in comments will be previewed in comments. Images are excluded. To enable or disable this setting look for “Preview comment links” in the settings panel

- Added settings option to restore UI state when Antenna is removed from memory , this is disabled by default. To enable or disable this setting look for “Save app state on background” in the settings panel

Many users are seeing lag spikes when restoring the app from background, this should reduce that lag time

- Added Google ads for non-pro users. Ads support continued development of Antenna. To disable Ads please upgrade to Pro. Ads are GDPR compliant for European union.

- Added settings option to disable targeting for Ads. To enable or disable this setting look for “Ad targeting” in the settings panel

- Added video capture option when submitting bug reports

Thank you for bug reports and continued feedback via email, Hockeyapp and the subreddit

8.6 Release

57 Upvotes

Largely a bugfix release, this took so long because Apple rejected the binary 8 times (sigh) due to iCloud data backup rules - which is also why the last release was so slow.

  • Fixed issues with login switching

  • Fixed issues with OAuth token refresh

  • Added sync of reddit links across web, this feature requires reddit gold and OAuth login. See full explanation here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Antenna/wiki/faq#wiki_sync_read_links- Fixed passcode lock screen background flickering

  • Fixed intermittent crash when backgrounding the app

  • Fixed slow resuming from background

Next release will focus on the UI aspects of Antenna. E.g: replying to comments and messages, icons, colors, and other UI components are being re-written. Then more stuff that you have suggested here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Antenna/comments/4h4leb/how_does_antenna_compare_to_other_apps. Thanks everyone for the feedback!

Dev Response 8.15 Release + Official Bug reporting thread

55 Upvotes

Hi all! I have made available a minor update which fixes some issues but not the elusive sub reddit disappearing bug ☹️ - it looks like the local database is being corrupted in some instances but i am not sure why. I've spent lots of time looking at it with no real headway so I've added some more steps below for what you can do to help get it fixed

Note: This update may require you to re-login because reddit OAuth is non-optional, if you cannot remember your password and don't have an email associated with your reddit account there's no way to recover your account, your password is stored securely on the device keychain and I cannot access it. You can contact reddit directly and maybe they can help you re-claim your account by assigning an email address

Here is the update summary

  • Added faster loading of YouTube videos, and improved scrolling of youtube video previews

  • Removed password based login in favor of reddit OAuth. OAuth is more secure since Antenna is not required to see or save your password. To convert your logins to use OAuth follow the prompts, if you're already using OAuth then there is no re-login needed

  • Fixed issues with keeping too much data and unable to clear cache

  • Fixed issue when clearing history would keep most recent "Back" item

  • Fixed minor scrolling performance issues

  • Added better detection of local database errors which may result in lost subreddit info - there is still some intermittent data loss on the home screen and I am trying to properly diagnose this.

  • Fixed issues with error tracking and opt out analytics not registering correctly

Antenna uses Yahoo Flurry to collect analytics for error tracking, you can opt out of this in Settings > Anonymous usage


So I haven't been able to reproduce home screen data loss, If you see this issue, the best thing you can do is follow these steps:

  • Enable bug reporting: Settings > Enable bug reporting

  • Take screenshot

  • Upload the screenshot

  • List the steps you took before seeing the issue, and also include how often you have seen it, if you can make it happen repeatedly then try to do that also. Make sure to not exclude any steps you took.

Question Would anyone else here pay again just so we could get some updates?

52 Upvotes

I’m sure many of us that still use this app are long time users and I would say most of us have already paid. Now, I’ve been using the app for 6+ years and I think I would be more than okay if I had to pay again.

I know it’s not right but for something ived used religiously for years, I’m completely fine paying again for support on this app because I fail to use an alternative for more than a day. There are just small bugs like

Sending a link will cause a double url. And audio will still play from a reddit video when you move away from the post.

There’s more that I can’t think of but i think it’s inevitable more will appear as reddit changes more and more. Idk if I’m alone here but I still like this app a lot more than others and I don’t care if there’s a small yearly subscription or another one time fee

Opened up the app and I was surprised to find night mode off. Then I noticed the font size was bigger than I was used to. And that all my shortcuts were gone. Weird, because I was just using the app not even 5 minutes ago and it was fine. What happened?

To the developer:

I think I speak for the antenna community when I say antenna is (at least used to be) the best Reddit client available. Over the past few years we’ve seen performance problems and bugs, and the app has fallen off the App Store, but we are still here.

So to the developer, I ask:

PLEASE open source this project and allow the community to revive it from the dead.

When the front page of the app (with list of subs) refreshes it completely freezes up. The app then needs to be closed but doesn't even close right away.
