(New) App Feedback
-
So I was just looking through the thread here, but I didn't seem to see anything.
Was there any information about support for devices with E-Ink displays? (Something akin to the Onyx Book line)
I know that being able to access the app through that type of screen would be a BIG selling point for me. It is an incredibly niche market, but it's definitely a solid idea.
I imagine that would just involve limiting the amount of animations, no? No fancy scrolling, or page turning. Just kind of -tap- page -tap- next page.
-Note: Is currently living on incredibly old Nook, and is looking to move to a more modern solution.
-
Right now, on the site the Mapping manga part doesn't go live for another 2 hours, but on the beta app it's available now.
-
Hey guys! I love the app so far, it's a lot easier to use and a lot easier to read with. It has been very used friendly with Android accessibility screen reader and in general. However one day I went to open up the app and check on the new updates, all I got was an error message. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app and all other solutions I could think of. Does anyone know why I keep getting this error?!
-
@Xionlives Error 410 is the same session timeout people have been getting for a while. It will automatically log you out of the app every couple weeks/months or so. Go to the account tab, hit sign out, and then sign back in.
-
@Xionlives : @LegitPancake is correct. There is an update to the Android app that makes that more clear, but unfortunately we still have not been able to successfully submit a new update for Android devices
-
On my Android tablet the beta app is currently not loading any of the parts nor is it allowing me to sign in or out
-
@Yoshken um nevermind it just allowed me to get in after a few minutes
-
One suggestion, not sure if it's simple or not - I guess there are a lot non native english speakers who from time to time encounter unfamiliar words, it would be nice having an option like in playbooks to long-press word, select it and have "definition" option to pop-up, or like in book-walker app, to have translate or google search option pop up. Now I can't even select to copy that text.
-
@0ose If you could at least select text you could use system-level dictionary features, but that doesn't seem possible right now, which is sad.
-
Build 0.5.0 now out for iOS, for Android hopefully soon. Changes include:
- Page margin and control region settings
- Library search keyboard properly dismissed when switching tabs
- Releases show reading progress (manga progress is not nice yet)
- Long press novel parts in volume to toggle between 100% and 0% completion
- More native iOS widgets/dialogs
-
Would be nice if y'all could add the Open Dyslexic typeface as a choice for the fonts, also make it so you can buy credits via the app would be nice as well ( I know that is probably a long way out due to both apple and android restrictions) one idea to help that would be adding the option to use things like Google pay to buy your credits with.
-
@Tiko424 We do have Andika, which isn't explicitly a dyslexia font, but seems to be well-received as a dyslexic-friendly font.
-
@myskaros yea I am currently using it it's just not as easy for me... I use open dyslexic often. And it's a free open source option.
BEWARE of the Pimpin Purple Pineapple! Because one day he will take over the world and rule us all with his rusty wooden spoon!
-
Another thing that would be nice down the road is to integrate the chat feature into the app from the forms page
-
@Tiko424 The issue is that at the moment, because the opendyslexic font is not part of the Google fonts collection, adding it would require considerably more effort than the other fonts. Andika is the closest font to it in the Google fonts collection, which is why it was chosen. Adding opendyslexic is on the roadmap, but will have wait a bit until implemented some higher-priority features

Nice I totally understand how it is.. glad to know y'all are looking into it though!

Version 0.5.0 approved for Android! This is the first build in a while that's been approved for Android, so be sure to update
-
Several issues with the android versions.
General Issues:
The "+" button fails to disable when line spacing is maxed.
On startup the read has the incorrect font settings until the screen is touched.
Manga fail to be marked green when read 100%This issue is reproducible with the horizontal at explicitly 23% of "Are you okay with a Slightly Older Girl Friend" V1P5.
The following combination of line settings and fonts cause the reader to render incorrectly:This appears to be a rending problem as the combinations change depending on what's currently on the screen.
-
On Android version 0.5.0. App is now constantly force-closing. Started after I adjusted the font size in the reader. Even clearing cache and storage and logging out didn't help. Now it just force-closes when I attempt to log in.
-
@notmychipmunk can you please email me at chocolatkey@j-novel.club with your device information (brand, OS version, steps, maybe screenshots) so I can try to fix this? Thanks
