Like It, But…

This app is a refreshing change from other photo sharing sites and apps I’ve used. But, there doesn’t appear to be a way to delete an account, recover a password, or get help. These are fundamental features of every app and site I have used. But not here.

Fix scrolling lag

So far the app is pretty solid! The only complaint I have so far is under the “discover” tab when you scroll to view more images there is a very noticeable lag. I am using a 13 Pro Max so I don’t know if the variable refresh rate is cause, but I am not scrolling fast.
