Welcome to the v1.54.0 release.

The main focus of this release is to make it easier for users to give feedback. This is achieved in a few ways. The first is a redesigned feedback dialog that makes it clearer which methods are available to submit feedback. The second is a new feedback editor that lets users submit feedback easier. It also automatically snaps a screenshot and allows you to easily attach it to your feedback. The third way that makes giving feedback easier is the new shake to send feedback feature which allows users to submit feedback on any part of the app just by shaking their device.

Of course, this release also contains a huge amount of other changes. One notable change is the addition of a new indicator for the “You” screen. This indicator is shown if there are any new failed actions. Eg. if a user sends a comment and that comment fails to be posted for some reason, the new error indicator will alert the user of this fact. This addition completes the user actions work started in the last release.

Full changelog

  • Add new feedback dialog.
  • Add new shake to send feedback feature.
  • Add action errors count. A badge will appear on the You navigation item if there are any action errors that have not been seen yet. This improves the visibility of action errors.
  • Improve the cache graph in the app (Settings > Cache) to show more details about disk space usage.
  • Improve mention suggestion heuristics.
  • Improve load speed for You screen.
  • Improve “mark duplicate posts as read” to also work when a post is hidden.
  • Improve You screen header layout by dynamically adjusting the sizes of certain elements based on the screen size.
  • Handle links for more instances when a link is tapped outside of Summit. This change only affects Android 11 or below devices.
  • Change message screen. When the context card is expanded, the app will automatically scroll to the relevant comment.
  • Show an error message when trying to share an image that cannot be loaded.
  • Show ellipsis when messages are too long to display in the inbox screen.

    Hey just wanted to say that the “open links” still works in android 15. I just tried it out myself and it worked flawlessly. It seems a little janky if the app isn’t already open though. If the app isn’t open when you click a supported link it still opens but just spits you out on the default page. If the app is open though it works flawlessly.

      Its been about 8 hours since the app was submitted to Google Play but it is still in review. What this usually means is that Google likely flagged the app for manual review.

      Also note that for the Play store release I go for a staged roll out so even when this doesnt happen it can take 1-2 days. The app is first released to users who signed up to be beta testers. Then it sits for 24-48h before it’s released to all users. This is just to verify that the release is stable.

      If you want to be bleeding edge you can do what tenchiken suggested and get the app from github or join the beta testers on the Play store.

        Good to know! I got it pushed to me last night since I’m on the beta branch, but it’s good to know it’s pushed to everyone now.

      How did you clear all of the notifications? Note that in the latest update the number indicator shown in the you screen is the action error count.
