I have Narwhal 2 installed on my iPhone. If I install it on my iPad, will I have to subscribe twice, or will my subscription cover my iPad as well?

I'm using narwhal 2 on my iPad and would love to show postings on the right side and content on the left. But I am unable to find an option to switch sides. Is it missing or am I just blind?

Edit2: if any developers are looking at these threads the ask would be to

“Allow swiping to see the next image in the same post while in widescreen, but also keep the scrub/playback controls for GIFs which probably means utilizing some kind of video player instead of a gesture”

Sorry I tried searching here and keep getting hits for seeing GIFs in comments or in other places.

I have posts I like to look at that are galleries of JPG and GIFs:

Example 1
Example 2

I just installed narwhal 2 for the first time it’s really cool and very very fast

but when I look at these galleries I’m looking to rotate my phone and look at them widescreen and swipe right or left instead of scrolling vertically.

When I open each individual image, I can rotate and if I try to swipe it tends to scrub or move forward and backward in the GIF which is a nice feature but I just want to move to the next image or GIF in the post, is this configurable?

How they show now

How I want them to appear - in this shot I am using Reddit mobile and swiping left to move between images

Edit: I see a post now from 61d ago talking about this

damn this app is fast, this would be well worth the subscription for me if I could browse galleries widescreen

I might sign up but want to make sure I can see my custom feeds or multi reddits in this app. I made a nsfw sub and I'm the mod of it does that still work to be able to view NSFW content in narwhal.

Is there something that I’m missing that allows you to search for keywords within a particular post or within your own posts/comments?

If not, I’d love to see that functionality added in the future.

I can't figure out why I can't see thumbnails for a specific subreddit, either in the home feed or in the subreddit itself. There's no settings for that subreddit that I can see (either in app or a browser) and the posts are not NSFW.

Home feed

I’m either missing something obvious, or there is no way to reload the comments (pull down and release, for example) in a post that has an image or article in the header. It makes things like sports match threads and other fast moving threads really annoying if they happen to fit those conditions. Any chance of addressing this in the future?

Hello

Moderators have two ways to remove posts:

1. Remove them using the "Remove" button. This is for low quality posts.

2. Remove them using the "Spam" button. This is for spam posts.

Narwhal is still showing the posts which have been removed using the Spam button.

This means Narwhal users are forced to see the spam posts which have been removed from Reddit, causing Narwhal users to have an lesser experience compared to people using the Reddit website or app.

I have a Multireddit set up that I often use. A couple weeks back ir stopped loading and hasn’t loaded since in app, saying “no posts are found”, I logged into Reddit in safari and it worked there.

any suggestions on how to get it to work again in the app?

If I share a post via URL I just get the generic Reddit.com url copied to my clipboard. If I share as a text, the post specific URL gets copied. Tried title + url, url only, same result.

Title says it all. Lmk thanks.

The video quality for video posts is very low quality. In safari the video looks about 1.5x the resolution. It seems to happen with all videos, but sometimes it's much worse than 0.66x the resolution. I'm not sure if there is a setting I missed, but I'm on WiFi.

Former Apollo user. I find that I enjoy Big Preview Mode the most, but some content is too big for my screen (iPhone 13 Pro). My only complaint so far, I’m really digging this app compared to the stock Reddit app.

Does anyone else run into this issue? If our lovely dev sees this, are there potentially any plans in place to address this? Like maybe a way to choose the scaling of Big Preview Mode?

App is requiring me to click again to see some images rather than displaying them automatically when I click on a post

So if I click on a post that has multiple pictures, once I click on a picture to go into media viewer, I can’t swipe/tap either left/right or up/down to view the next picture. I have to swipe back out of media viewer, scroll to the next picture, then tap to get back into media viewer.

Am I doing something wrong is this just not a feature?

The app cache has been filling up quickly (hitting about 2GB after only a few days of use) and I find myself having to hit the refresh cache button often. How hard would it be to implement a feature that can clear the cache automatically, maybe on launch? It would be a great help to have, thanks.

Thanks!

Good for identifying bots etc

Does anyone know if it’s possible to save an image via Narwhal as a JPG instead of a PNG? On the Reddit site, it’s always JPG, but in the Narwhal app, it’s always image.png.

I have a weird bug when using this otherwise amazing app. I bought the pro subscription and added my Reddit account and tried all settings but can’t get thumbnails to show up when logged in.

Weird thing is, that without logging in the app works just fine. Since this is a pretty big issue I’m wondering if it’s specific to the iOS 17.4 Beta version because otherwise a lot more people would be complaining about this.

Any fix available?

Edit: found you can turn on thumbnails here: https://old.reddit.com/prefs

Fixed my issues :)

Hello,

Is it possible to set the default sort for the Friends list to new? Also, is it possible to display the usernames on posts when scrolling the friends feed? Thanks!

I was wondering if it’s possible to have the Blur NSFW option be user specific. So that I don’t have to keep turning the blur option on and off when switching accounts. If it is an option I haven’t been able to figure it out. As a side note, is there a way to view images in comments automatically without having to click the preview?

I am using Reddit mostly for reading/commenting news and similar stuff, where posts are often linked to articles. All my devices/apps are set to dark mode, but most of the posted articles open in their default view in light mode with all the cookie banners and stuff.

I currently work around this on iPhone by just accessing the comments in Narwhal and opening links to articles in the external browser (Safari with Reader Mode), but this means switching back and forth between apps and it would be nicer to have everything in one place.

Also on iPad I like to use the column view and access articles directly in the app. Therefore a setting that would allow me to open all external links with the in-app browser in Reader Mode would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Can't get the app to log in to any of my accounts. Super frustrating. Anyone else?

I think ‘Hide read post’ is applied for all seen post, not only clicked post. Because I found it only hide clicked post!

Is there any way to disable the feature that hides the text of posts when I touch the screen for a short period of time without making a gesture?

I find this a regular annoyance when browsing text-heavy subreddits such as /r/bestofredditorupdates

I’ve searched in Narwhal preferences, but can’t find a setting that controls this.

I have Narwhal version 2.113

Thank you!
