I wanted to like it, guys, really I did, but for fuck’s sake, there’s ZERO feedback when you longpress photos to try and save them? It’s not in the upper menu? Just “save post”? Then while scrolling the whole app freezes and reloads back to page 1 missing your place.

For the last month, I haven’t been able to see my own account’s posts because of some Cloudflare bug despite being able to use the rest of the site and see everyone else’s profile.

It’s really janky, guys. I’m sorry but someone has to say something other than see for yourself.

I saw for myself and it’s pretty mid ngl

    I like Blorp and am using it right now.

    Probably not the right forum to say this, but I do get a bug where sometimes when I back out of a post, I get a black screen that I can only get rid of by switching to another “tab” at the bottom, then back to the home tab which puts me right back into the prior post instead of the home feed.

      What version of Blorp are you on? See version at the bottom of the settings page.

      Just to gauge the severity, how often when your using Blorp dies this happen? On a scale of very infrequently to it constantly interrupts what I’m doing.

      Sounds like it might be difficult for this bug, but if you could find a list of steps to recreate this bug (starting with relaunch the app), I can fix this much more quickly.

        V1.10.8

        I’d say this happens about once or twice a day and vague my daily usage to be 1-2 hours.

        Unfortunately its not an issue I can trigger consistently, but it does occur almost daily.

        This makes giving you replication steps difficult.

        It happens when I tap onto an image on a post and back out, then tap on the next post. I hit the blackout button subconsciously, so I don’t know if its the back button on Android or the app itself, but I believe both.

        After I do that, screen goes black except the UI controls at the bottom. I can get out of it by selecting something else (such as the notification bell), then tapping back at home.

        When I do that, I’m back starring at that image from the first post, but back out will work that time.

          Ok, I experimented a few times and here’s my findings from a 1 minute spike.

          If I tap into an image on a post at my subscription feed, then hit the Android backout button

          Then tap into the image of another post, hit the Blorp back out button, it happens.

          Its not consistent, so you may have to do it a few times. I also noticed other odd issues after replicating it a number of times, such as it reopening the explore tab after I already switched back to home and didn’t touch anything. Or it taking forever to load a refresh at the home tab.

          Hope this helps. Sorry I can’t give consistent replication steps. If I find a more consistent way to replicate, I’ll message.

            Amazing work! I was able to recreate the bug on my phone using your steps. I’ll try and get a fix up ASAP.
