Thank you for all your support over the past weeks. It’s helped us get to this point.
A word of caution: The build that was released is slightly outdated and there are a few issues that have already been addressed in that build. Unfortunately because you can’t replace the build in review, we were not able to update it as we went through this nearly week-long back and forth with Apple. It required an appeal to get us onto the store.
With that said, I’ll be releasing the final version of 0.0.2 tonight to TestFlight, and will begin build versioning starting at 0.1.0, which will be the next release on the store. I’ll try and have something submitted to them tonight and hopefully it will be reviewed and released within a day or so.
I’ll update this post here in a few hours with more information. Tonight’s build will include another list of bug fixes as well as vast improvements to the slide to upvote/comment feature (no more glitching, hopefully) as well as hopefully fixing a few issues with the image viewer.
This should give us a fairly stable release which I will submit to Apple for review. Thankfully, now that we have completed the initial review future updates should be much quicker (likely around 12-24 hours per update).
See you guys in a bit!
Cheers!
Congrats on release! I’ve had problem deciding on a primary app for fediverse and I think Memmy might be it. Sorry you had issues with Apple. Hopefully it’s smooth sailing from here! Keep up the good work.
Yeah, I love wefwef but it’s missing native settings and some things Memmy has already, so this is the one.
I hope we get auto marking as read by scrolling past posts (aka, actually hiding the post on our account, and not just in-app like wefwef)
Wefwef is REALLY good. Memmy is excellent as well, I found it scrolls much smoother than wefwef. It’s absolutely bonkers that we have so many choices in such a short time since the Reddit meltdown.
Yea we’re so spoiled, I’m a big comment collapser, App Store Memmy likes to freeze up a bit, where as wefwef is a bit quicker….but it likes to jump my position in the ‘scroll position’ 🤣
Still….I’ll take these problems over fucking Reddits app!!
Congrats! I’ve been on the beta for a couple of weeks and am very impressed how quickly it’s become solid.
Can you let me know the best way to submit feature requests? There is one or two gestures I dearly miss from Apollo and find myself reflexively doing.
Swipe left on feed view to return to previous thread? Me too.
For me, there are two things I miss most.
On a comment swiping from right to left would collapse that entire thread up to the parent comment. I used this ALL THE TIME. It’s great for when you’re deep down a rabbit hole of comments and go “ok I’m done with this conversation, what’s the next one?”, then swipe to shrink the whole thing up to the next parent comment. I didn’t realize how much I loved this feature until after it was gone.
The second might be the same as what you’re saying (?). If I accidentally swipe out of a topic and back to the magazine list view of posts, in Apollo you could go “oops!” And swipe from the right edge to go back to where you were (even, back to the comment you were at in that topic). It was a really nice feature.
Holy shit those are my boys (in the App Store screenshot)!
Great job! Lovin’ the app so far.
My only grievance and humble request is that the post screen when opening-loading app should have the same cute, tiled mouse logo.
Thank you for considering my request. I appreciate your time and attention.
I missed out on the TestFlight do this has been my first impression of Memmy and its great!
If you can say… what was the issue which meant you had to appeal? As someone who’s learning to code apps I’m curious about what issues devs have.
PS. anyone else getting a JSON error on posting it you have an apostrophe?
Yes! I kept getting that JSON error and didn’t figure why! No more apostrophes for me lol
I can’t see it on the UK App Store currently. Don’t know if it’s just taking its time or you didn’t mark it for release in the UK as yet?
Same for Swiss app store ?
Possible it’s only been marked for release in the US?
Search for Lemmy instead, for some reason Memmy won’t show up in the app store UK if you search for it
THIS! Thanks 😊

Join the discord server. You’ll see what the issues were. I think it was about account deletion and some legal stuff.
Great to see this moving forward. If I understand correctly, you’ll be retiring the Test Flight releases soon, right?
No. TestFlight will continue to be a beta platform to receive feedback for new versions before they go live. Anyone who is still interested in being a tester is welcome to stay here and will receive regular updates. I am just changing the versioning because of the App Store requirements.
Right now, I only increment build numbers to avoid having to enter a review period for new TestFlight releases. Now, I’ll increment the version number after each Store release, and we will be starting at 0.1.0. TestFlight might go from 0.1.0.1 to 0.1.0.15. If we decide at build 15 that we should push to the store, then we will then begin development of 0.1.1.1 on TestFlight and so on.
