Love the app; great to see the progress being made.

An new issue I’m having with this beta: Swiping up/down to dismis images doesn’t seem to be working for me. Is there a setting I’m missing?

Thanks for the bug report! There isn’t a setting–it should just work. Some questions to help us reproduce and debug:

  • Are you on iOS or iPad?
  • Which iOS/iPadOS version are you using?
  • Can you dismiss images correctly with the X button?
  • iPhone
  • iOS 17 (latest)
  • yes X button works
Thanks! I’ve tracked down the issue, it should be fixed in the next build.
Can confirm fixed in the latest build. Thanks a lot!
