2.2.2

May 14, 2026

Bug fixes to the Discover view.

User reviews

Notifications

Good app and prefer it to the browser but it won’t clear notifications and it’s driving me nuts as can’t get rid of the red number no matter what I do. I’ve deleted apps for that very reason before and hoping I don’t have to do that for this app.

Not native but pretty good

Its not a real app, but I still prefer it over the browser. Notifications also work better and it’s handy for those who use multiple forums. Seems like most bad reviews are years old; a lot has changed since then. Also world class support!

Blinding white refresh and slow, draft didn’t work

I have the app in dark mode. But when I to go back to my feed after trading a thread, I get a full white page that blinds me in the dark before it goes back.

Also, in my home network, where I have tracking protection enabled , loading of threads is very slow.

Lastly, I can no longer edit and write posts in iOS 26.1. Selection and buttons are not in the same place as they are shown on the screen.

Not great

Web version much better. Tbh it’s pretty much web scrape anyway except the app hangs on login and doesn’t stay signed in. Not useful.
