We have sent out the first round of invitations to those special few who signed up for our awful April Fools joke.

If you missed out, please be patient as we're releasing this app in limited waves as it becomes more and more ready. If you didn't sign up, please sit tight and wait for the sign of the next round of invites to go up.

If you did, then please post up any bugs, feedback, thoughts or whatever else in this thread.

Blocking someone does not actually work on the mobile app. For example, I blocked broccollirabe and it still shows up whenever he PMs me as a notifcation on the app.

it's been just about 150 days since apple announced the screen layout to developers for the iphone X and so far the NS app has been updated during that time, but there hasn't been any fixes for the layout error. The app already uses auto-layout to some extent since it fills the screen, but the tab bar impedes on the home bar indicator as myself and others have already pointed out in this thread.

I know its a minor thing for a minor amount of users but its really not that hard of a fix, the home bar needs 39 points of space according to a quick google search, and the tab bar rests above that occupying the remaining 44, same as other iphones

Update launched to address this, can you try it out and let us know if it works on iPhone X the way you want it to?

thank you for pushing out a specific update for this, sorry I whined about it, I appreciate you guys continuing to update and improve this awesome app. Unfortunetly this last update didn’t change anything on my end, even after a reset. The bottom navigation menu is still taking up the normal height and not expanded to give the homebar room. Here’s a screenshot using the latest update

don’t see it on my update page yet but I’ll forsure test and get back to you, and yea I highly recommend it, gestures are the future over buttons and the screen is incredible

separate issue, I just uploaded a new edit yesterday and I keep seeing different thumbnails on different devices. I pretty much instantly uploaded a custom thumbnail yet NS seems stuck on whatever default frame it chose, and it took a long time on the NS app to switchover to the one I chose. In the future should I chose upload at a later date vs immidietly to allow for the video to encode/thumbnail be set before it’s live?

I know it’s just a thumbnail but I think the difference between someone clicking (or tapping) on an edit with a shitty one vs “good” one is significant

I restarted my phone and now the apps nav bar is the correct height! Whatever update you pushed worked without even updating the app in the appstore on my end, thank you for fixing this!

I tried out the app and love the idea but have found it uses a lot more data than I wish to use because Im cheapy with a tracfone. Are there any data saving settings in the app?
On the same topic for info purposes I also have found that I cannot view the forums on Opera browser on my phone if any of the browser data saving features are on. It will work in opera mini but the sites functionality is all screwed up and you cant see parts of the page.
