Need to fix scrolling bug. If I leave the app and then return I cannot scroll down the web page I was on. I have to press the back arrow and then click the link again to be able to scroll again

It's great, but I'm having trouble subscribing to subverses that do not show up on the left hand side bar. I could just be blind to what I need to do so any help is can get would be appreciated .

Love getting in my boat and sailing into a sea of wonderfulness. It's gotten better every release. My only issue now is that I have to sign in all the time. I used to stay logged in even if I didn't use the app for days. It's not terrible, but I don't like typing my info everytime, especially since I didn't use to.

I reinstalled chrome but the internal browser still doesn't work. All my links open I'm firefox now (even though i haven't changed any settings), which i don't want. It'd be nice to be able to use the internal browser again.

*****DONATE BUTTON IS NOT WORKING PLS FIX*****Thank you, Space Monkey. Didn't realize you can disable the ads. Will be donating on my next paycheck. Thank you for all your hard work. Hopefully Google will reinstate the paid version.

Latest update keeps links from opening in-browser, have to use Chrome or FF. Tried re-installing chrome, turning in-browser on/off, and nothing works so far. Used the app before and loved it. Now it's a pain to use. Am using Android 7.0. Any ways to fix this issue? Edit: Yes, stock android that came with my phone. Sent email, still waiting for a reply.

This app is great. Newest update fixed a ton of errors and makes it much more seamless on mobile. However It started generating an error "Server Error: api key missing or invalid"

J70%
by J####:

I can see some things have been fixed and changes have been made but since my feedback was acknowledged 6 months ago the ability to submit posts still hasn't been added.

Was a great app until the update that erased my login and password. Now I can't comment or upvoat.

I love this app but kept crashing after 1 min. Restarting didn't help :(. How do I sign up for the beta. Thanks for the quick response

P70%
by P####:

New version removes ability to read the comments on most posts. The button is just missing.

Z70%
by Z####:

No theming, no subscriptions, and after 5 minutes it loses connection and you have to restart the app to do anything. 2 stars because there's really no competition app in the play store that's any better, and that's sad. After seeing the variety of solid options for Reddit, I would think in 2 years this app or another one would exist as a fully featured voat client. Guess not.

Z70%
by Z####:

I would like to see this app to grow and mature in the coming years since voat doesnt have a lot of apps right now but i have a request from the developers. Please license your app under GPL and put it on fdroid or at least github. It would make sense since most of your users dislike google anyway.

Z70%
by Z####:

App seems pretty solid. However, there doesn't seem to be a way to submit posts? Might be a result of having a new account but I am currently only able to comment from this app and can't submit a post to a sub.

Q70%
by Q####:

This has been a great app, however it does not save my account so I have to login everytime I open the app.

B70%
by B####:

App finally working again, good stuff. Needs some better themeing options/text scaling. Best app for voat.

Reddit sucks. Voat it goes. Thank you for your contributions.

It works now, great

It's good, but you can't submit new posts.

Z70%

It is missing the ability to post. Other than that, solid app.

Z70%
by Z####:

The most useful voat app.

by Z####:

When I swipe right to bring open the sidebar, I have to refresh the sidebar to make it show my subscriptions, then it automatically changes back to showing my not being subbed to anything as if I didn't refresh it at all. In order to go to specific subs on there I need to touch the exact one I want within literally a second or two. And from within the sidebar I still cannot unsubscribe from subs, it automatically goes back to no subs or the ones I've been subbed to beforehand then changes back to no subs in the sidebar. Nothing to do with the frontpage showing unsubscribed subs, I've already uninstalled and reinstalled entirely.

Z70%
by Z####:

Great app, I really like the layout. 3 stars because as of right now it won't login my account. Uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. Will update review to 5 stars once it's taken care of.

J70%
by J####:

So it's pretty good, but sometimes it won't load my front page when I click more or from scrolling. Also in the comments when I try to expand and read more other replies sometimes it does not respond

Z70%
by Z####:

Good app but needs NSFW filter to not prefetch NSFW images. Makes this unusable at work, which is the only time it's needed. If not a direct filter give the user the ability to hide posts.

Z70%
by Z####:

Self post no longer load or function in any way. My Voats don't register and every user appears [deleted].

Q70%
by Q####:

Good job with the app, works well most of the time, the UI could use some polish though. For example, when I visit a subverse from another subverse, the app shows two Sort buttons. I'd suggest making the code open source and using GitHub so people can contribute and collectively improve the app. Thanks.

The known issues have been known for long enough. Leaving this app on the store is a disservice to cost at this point. Fix it or remove it please.
