Actually getting ready to abandon this app (lemmy.world)

I've been a supporter going back years. Hell, I even bought the Reddit Boost knowing it would stop working, but just to support the dev.

But this app has more bugs than a termite mound, and I'm at the breaking point.

There are bugs that have been here for 2 YEARS that are still present.

Ok, maybe this side project isn't for this dev. I need an app that works.

What bugs are you noticing? I've found it fairly bug free.

    Hide/MarkRead functionality is broken. No amount of Settings adjustments or install/reinstall/clear/etc will keep the problem from returning.

    Interface functionality constantly disappearing and failing to reappear, especially when switching to/from Piefed.

    Nothing works, really.

    I just need this to show me things, let me hide them. Work without constantly breaking. 2 years is long enough to wait.

    I mean, just from a quick scan of the community, you've made one post pointing out a bug and the dev responded, but you didn't do much to describe if/why his posted solution didn't work for you.

    I don't know why you're trying to defend what is obviously broken, and if you want, you can go see how I'm not the only person complaining about this

    It doesn't remember what you upvoted, downvoted, hidden

    This app is so fucking broken, I literally cannot understand how you don't see it.

    I've used it on multiple different phones, factory resets...., shake your head bro. This app got more bugs than an entomology lab.

    But what is the point in trying to talk to any of you, the developer doesn't respond to any bug reports, nothing ever changes, the beta is more broken than the regular app.

    I think the way that the community has responded here makes me realize it's time to just leave this piece of shit. It's literally more feature-rich, and easier to just use the desktop view of my phone browser.

    Curious what you're seeing for bugs. I haven't noticed much myself, but granted I'm probably not using all the features.

    App works fine for me.

    Anecdotic, I know. Just like your complaint.

    App works fine for me, I guess move on if you're not happy and are at breaking point. Why be this streased about an app?

    The only thing that keeps me going back to the browser on Lemmy is mod tools/logs and messages not properly being marked "read"

    I think it's a great interface, but I do feel like if you compare it directly to reddit boost it could leave a little lacking, that speaks more towards reddit site issues being a disadvantage over API apps than anything about Boost for Lemmy though.

    Well, here's your update.

    I'm on Voyager now. It actually works. Wild, hey.

    Goodbye Boost forever. I supported you WAY beyond what you gave me back. I'm done waiting for this shattered app to work.
