Does anyone know an #Accessible #app for #fedi that supports go to social and works on iPhone? Mona excluded. Can't afford and is too complicated for me. #Feditext and #MetaText have no way to hide cws with voiceover rotor actions, so that's a dealbreaker. Looking for something, as #Toot! is not updated, and is eating up too much battery. Thank you in advance.

@menelion Have you tried Pipilo by @luckkerr - the idea of browsing the timeline is a bit different - you navigate through posts by dragging a slider element and can instantly explore the full-screen view of a post. Łukasz cares about accessibility a lot so feel free to ping him with any requests.

There is an unlock premium, but the app itself does not have push notifications hera, I got it from appstore. Price for life time is almost 70 BGN, other options are for a subscription, but fedi is free, one-time purchases are okay, but I don't think we should be paying exorbitant prices for apps to use fedi. I know there's the web, but try using enafore on a phone. It's not designed for phones.

You also can't say premium unlocks push notifications, when push notifications to phone aren't even implemented, there isn't even a permission in settings to ask the phone if it's okay to send it notifications. Like, that's a bit of a lie, either that, or it's still in the works, which is fine, but then it shouldn't be listed as a premium feature in my opinion.

If you go to App Store page, for each app there is Information section. One of items will be in app purchases. When you tap on it it expands listing available purchases and prices. Looks like that section is barely accessible but at least you can access it.

My idea for pricing is base price for monthly, 10 times that for yearly and 3 times that for lifetime. I didn’t change it since beginning.

I complained a bit about the price because we'll be changing currency next year, so it'll be interesting. Not looking forward to it. But also because I wanted to send the app as a gift to someone to try it out. Turns out, I cannot if they don't live in my country. The app is pretty neat though, the slider could be a bit bigger, because it appears at the bottom when you explore by touch and it's tiny, or there could be some distance, but that's a super awesome concept. Also when it checks for new posts, focus gets stuck on "There is nothing new, and check post button." Only happens if I click on the "Check for new posts" button, but that might be because Apple is Apple and I have an iPhone 13 pro. I don't know how much groceries ould cost there, never been to Poland, but it's a good pack of the stuff I smoke plus a little list of basic groceries here. :)

Thanks, I didn’t know you could gift apps. For slider height, a workaround is to increase text size just for single app. It can be done in system settings, or if you have a text size option in Control Center, there is a toggle to apply it only for a single app.
The problem with focus is new to me. I’ll investigate what’s wrong. Usually, the app automatically refreshes when you return to it. Manual refresh shouldn’t be necessary unless you spend a long time without switching.

Also, the presentation of notifications is strange, you have user mentioned you, that's a button, then you have the text with the post, I don't think you need to have them separated like that, makes people swipe more, it usually is a template, where "user mentioned you, post text." all together, I have no idea what other people say, but I saw that before each post in notifications, there is a button that says what the notification is, those are usually associated with the notification as a whole, but it's a nice thing, only that when you go through a lot of them, it gets tiring. I think your touch target needs to be bigger for the slider, but if one were to use their phone in landscape, that won't be a big issue, only that, people tend to use phones in portrait. I really think how great of an app that would be for iPads.

Hey sorry for the inconvenience. You have to go to notifications screen in the app and then from there go to push notifications option to enable them. It doesn’t appear in system settings because it only shows here after the app asks for permission first time.
Offering to enable push notifications directly after purchase sounds like a good option. I’ll plan on implementing it in future.
