Blorp dev here. A few issues with your post:

Your tone is very rude. I’ve spent 100s of hours and ~$600 of my own money on this app. It’s free, i’m sorry it has bugs :)

Your feedback could be actionable if you just drop the attitude and open a well written GitHub issue saying “this thing is an issue and here’s my justification”. But as soon as I see you say “it’s really janky guys” and “it’s pretty mid” I completely stop listening to what you have to say

So good job. Your post is an unpopular opinion :)

I like Blorp and am using it right now.

Probably not the right forum to say this, but I do get a bug where sometimes when I back out of a post, I get a black screen that I can only get rid of by switching to another “tab” at the bottom, then back to the home tab which puts me right back into the prior post instead of the home feed.

What version of Blorp are you on? See version at the bottom of the settings page.

Just to gauge the severity, how often when your using Blorp dies this happen? On a scale of very infrequently to it constantly interrupts what I’m doing.

Sounds like it might be difficult for this bug, but if you could find a list of steps to recreate this bug (starting with relaunch the app), I can fix this much more quickly.

V1.10.8

I’d say this happens about once or twice a day and vague my daily usage to be 1-2 hours.

Unfortunately its not an issue I can trigger consistently, but it does occur almost daily.

This makes giving you replication steps difficult.

It happens when I tap onto an image on a post and back out, then tap on the next post. I hit the blackout button subconsciously, so I don’t know if its the back button on Android or the app itself, but I believe both.

After I do that, screen goes black except the UI controls at the bottom. I can get out of it by selecting something else (such as the notification bell), then tapping back at home.

When I do that, I’m back starring at that image from the first post, but back out will work that time.

Ok, I experimented a few times and here’s my findings from a 1 minute spike.

If I tap into an image on a post at my subscription feed, then hit the Android backout button

Then tap into the image of another post, hit the Blorp back out button, it happens.

Its not consistent, so you may have to do it a few times. I also noticed other odd issues after replicating it a number of times, such as it reopening the explore tab after I already switched back to home and didn’t touch anything. Or it taking forever to load a refresh at the home tab.

Hope this helps. Sorry I can’t give consistent replication steps. If I find a more consistent way to replicate, I’ll message.

Amazing work! I was able to recreate the bug on my phone using your steps. I’ll try and get a fix up ASAP.
