/r/getnarwhal rules 🌵

  1. that’s right, it rules!
  2. don’t be a jerk
  3. if you post something that’s not serious or not related to narwhal I’ll love you (recommendations: nicolas cage or cats)
  4. these rules were written by /u/charliewonders and probably make /u/det0ur and /u/PvPHero cringe, so don’t blame them

a general heads up 🐣

we’re just some dudes with fulltime jobs that work on narwhal in our free time, so any understanding you can toss our way is appreciated! occasionally we might be slow to respond on here, but we do read everyone's posts and will try to respond when we can. if you don’t hear from us and need something please bug us! we promise we're not jerks, we're just super busy sometimes.

lastly, good reviews on the app store help us have a fighting chance against the big guys. if you’re ever feeling up to leaving one, we'd really appreciate it!


thank you! 🍻

Weird bug with bluetooth keyboards and creating posts

I am experiencing a weird error when i create new posts using a BT keyboard.

When I start typing in the main body of the post using the keyboard, the cursor jumps to the post title line immediately as i try to type the second word of the post. I cannot get it to actually write in the body. I am able to use the onscreen keyboard just fine. No idea whats going on. A fix would be appreciated. Thank you.

Images uploaded to Reddit servers are slow to load

When opening a post that has images uploaded through Reddit servers they often take 15-20 seconds to load. If i instead ‘Open in Browser’ the pictures load instantly, so this isn’t a connection speed issue. All other posts also open immediately through the app.

Here’s an example post where I’m seeing this problem. Occurs both when multiple pictures are uploaded, as well as posts with only one.

Narwhal with personal API ?

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but is there any reason we are not allowed to use our personal API key?

I would even pay one time or a cheaper subscription to use my own API key. Seems like a win-win and some other apps use this technique so what am I missing?

Thanks!

Separating accounts‘ settings etc.

Is there any way to separate two accounts a little more? It seems all accounts share „recently viewed“, read status, sidebar settings,…

Just downloaded Narwhal what settings to use?

Hey hey,

So I just downloaded Narwhal 2 coming from the original Reddit app, but also from Apollo (RIP). Apollo was just amazing when it came to a different client.

Now I’m trying to use Narwhal and what are some essential settings I need to use? Anything to make it even better?

Why do videos play smoothly on feed but take 10 - 60 seconds to reload when i click them?

Same delay/reload happens when I click pictures.

Isn’t this stuff cached?

Feature request: ability to delete imgur uploads

With one tap on a photo from the photos popup, the app uploads the photo forever to imgur, and throws away the delete hash. It would be good if narwhal saved the delete info to allow the photos to be deleted from settings later. It is very easy to tap on a photo by mistake on the popup.

At the very least, the app should display the delete hash, or log it somewhere after upload so I can store it myself.

I would like to filter our all posts with a certain flair in a subreddit

Very basic, I want to set it up so that there’s a filter for any post that has the flair “Spoilers” associated with it. Bonus if I can choose the subreddit name and the flair Spoilers but that’s no important.

If this doesn’t exist can we have it incorporated in future updates please?

Search Priority Changed

Since a few days ago, the narwhal search for subreddits isnt being sorted by most subscribed. It used to be that whenever I would search for subreddits it would show the most popular starting with what was typed but now it just shows random small subreddits.

Is there a fix for this?

Always showing important/preferred subs

I am in a few low-traffic niche subs, and want 100% of those posts to show up. I have set them up with the "show most often" option in the Reddit UI, but that doesn't seem to work in Narwhal at all. I've seen some posts talking about the API not having these preferences, is that true? Any ideas to make Narwhal show these? I hate missing posts in them and hate having to use the Reddit UI also.

Search function isn't working

Hi, having an issue with the app where anytime I try to use the search function in a subreddit for keywords it says no posts are found. There are definitely posts on the searches I'm making... including if I pull up the website version and do the same search.

I've tried clearing the cache, is there anything else that can help here?

Shake to undo actions

It’s easy to accidentally hide posts when trying to swipe to go back, or save them. They immediately disappear so the only way to undo that action is to navigate into my hidden posts and unhide it. I rarely bother doing that so I have a bunch of random posts in my hidden list.

It would be nice if I could shake my phone to undo actions like that, just like Safari has shake to undo for closed tabs. It could probably be applied to other actions too. Just a thought, love the app!

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?

iPad - how can I put the posts on the right side?

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?

Question about image galleries and gif galleries with Narwhal 2

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

Keyword search within a post and search our own posts/comments for keyword?

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.

No thumbnails for specific subreddit

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

No way to reload comments for posts with an image or link?

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?

[BUG] Narwhal is displaying posts and comments which have been removed as spam

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.

Sharing Link Broken? Bug?

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.
