Bimmerpost App 5.x WIP for Android

[stefan]

Can we please have an option to launch YouTube in the app rather than having to watch videos embedded?

Btw dark theme looks amazing way to go guys

Glad to see the idea about dark mode is coming to life! Any idea when it is coming to iOS? Thank you

Do YouTube videos go full screen for you if you click the full scree icon, or do they stay confined to the smaller version in the post?

Very small feature request, but you can't click on a user's name and select to see their profile from private messages screen when viewing a PM.

The button to make full screen videos does not work, nothing changes. Also the "YouTube" word button doesn't work, would be good if clicking the YouTube button would open the YouTube app.

Actually totally unresponsive to full screen requests.

If you hold down on their avatar then you will go to their user profile. That should work almost anywhere you see an avatar. Easter egg?

Ok, just making sure, I'm seeing the same thing here. That will make it into a future release soon-ish

Forum setting font size still not saving. Making it the smallest size, closing the app and coming back it defaults to original size it was

How about setting the font size for a thread? Does that save?

Looks like the thread is saving, just checked and the settings saved as well. So some inconsistencies happening between this morning and now, same app version

Forum font size should only affect viewing the thread listings in a specific forum, is this what you are seeing?

My app auto-upated to 5.1.7 and the new uodates are great!
Dark theme, message count and quota warning , classifieds pricing, picture preview etc. Good stuff! 👍

A couple of things I noticed:
When replying to a thread with a quote, the font when I type a reply is red with double yellow underline. Is that intentional? When I post the reply, it looks good in the thread.
Also, when I check messages and touch the user name to check their profile, bothing happens. It works fine elsewhere like in a thread and post.

Nope

How do you go to dark mode?

Aaaand, in 5.1.7 I can no longer attach images to a post

Ok I just released v5.1.9. Could you see if the yellow/red thing is still happening on it?

As for the user profile, if you long press on an avatar anywhere in the app it should bring up their profile

It's a setting on various phones, it'll be somewhere in your phone settings menu depending on which one you have

New issue

When replying to a large OP, I used to select a word and scroll to the end to delete the unwanted segment of the post I was replying to.

Now, when I try that, or alternatively press and hold the delete button, the screen greys our and freezes

Oh yeah, and if I edit the post with a link, it keeps on doubling up each time

Seem to have an issue where after a few min of typing a reply or new post it really slows down and the beginning of the message deletes? Even on short messages.
Samsung s20 plus with latest Android
Other than that really good!

Feature request - when searching on Google or any search engine on your phone and clicking into the search link for one of the forum threads, it opens in the browser, there is no popup asking if you want to open the thread in the app. This would be very helpful to open the threads in the app instead of staying in the browser.

Thanks for the report. Fixed the link issue, which will be in the next update later tonight.

The deletion issue is a bit of a head scratcher . Will need more work

Has anyone been using the app on a tablet?

If so how's it going?
