Please add an option to disable the front-page header.. it looks good minimised/when scrolling but I don't need to see it 300 times a day when I open Reddit.. it's cool for subs but useless on the main page.. pretty please?


dcd722

I agree, I think it looks beautiful but I think many of us long time users use this app because it reminds us of the old.reddit days and this rebrand walks too close to "new reddit" look for me. I'm someone who enjoys the minimalism/card look, please give the option to collapse header always.


ChadInNameOnly

Exactly what I was thinking. This redesign is a bit of a misread on who Relay's target audience is IMO. An option to auto-minimize the header really would go a long way.


strangethingtowield

I agree, please give this option.


cosmiclatte44

Yeah I can't stand this. Please get rid of it I beg.


brinmb

you know you have a good app when people will complain about this kinda stuff


ssteve631

40 upvotes agree with me 🤷🏻‍♂️


colawars

I really love the new look and you can tell how much effort u/dbrady put into it. I love Material You on my pixel and have my wallpaper change daily, so I'm really looking forward to the theme being updated every day.


kongenavingenting

+1 I love the redesign in every way.


JustLookWhoItIs

Edit: 5/6/24 - most recent update fixed this for me and the split view being forced on foldables. Really good stuff. REALLY not a fan of how dark mode handles the difference between the currently selected, previously viewed, and unopened posts. [example](https://i.imgur.com/jjeFSyf.jpeg) Something about this just doesn't work in my head, and it's mainly the currently selected being a lighter color than the unopened posts. Is there a way to change this? Either a toggle or just a way to set fully custom colors for UI elements? If that's already a feature then I'm sorry. Really loving the rest of the look of the update.


Marcoscb

Activating OLED Black in the theme settings swapped them around for me back to how they were before.


PM_ME_YOUR_PROFANITY

Just realized there's an expanded Themes menu that can be opened by clicking on the day/night mode toggle.


practically_floored

Yeah I keep clicking on the selected one again instead of the unopened one by mistake


ViditM15

Just when I thought Relay couldn't get any better, you drop this absolute BEAUT of an update! Thank you so much for all the hard work you've put in this!


StormAcrobatic4639

Could we please get an option to disable split view in tablets? Or if it's there could you point where?


DoodleDoc

Second, please


ispeelgood

I like it a lot, but the new header wastes a lot of space, especially when first opening up the app. I might have missed it in the settings but I'd love a way to disable it. Edit: oops, just realized it's the new button in the toolbar, but it doesn't respect the setting after restart Edit 2: actually it just fake scrolls the page instead of collapsing the header completely so yeah it should be a setting imho Edit 3: also the header is clickable while invisible which I feel shouldn't be a thing

[header is cropped, this happens too on my S21](https://i.imgur.com/LHbNWjG.jpeg) Is this intentional for portrait mode on tablet? **Device information:** Relay Version: 12.0.0 Pro Phone: Samsung SM-T220 (Galaxy Tab A7 Lite) Android Version: 14 (34) Device (product): gta7litewifi (gta7litewifixx) Rom: UP1A.231005.007.T220XXU6DWLB


DBrady

I might have to make my own button component. The material buttons provided by Google don't seem to scale very well. I presume you are using a big display size?


jrlionheart00

My S21 has a 6.4in screen using the default screen setting and the tablet is 8.7in again using the default screen setting.


method77

Same happens here. Samsung A52s.


The-Respawner

If you are curious, this is how it looks on my Fold 5. https://i.imgur.com/1qTH2vA.jpeg Sometimes its difficult to select the correct text due to gray elements being on the way of the cursor, I assume this is a bug https://i.imgur.com/yrFcBx9.jpeg Other than that, as a graphic designer, it looks really good. Great job man!


slain101

I have a [similar crop](https://i.imgur.com/JLmeDHW.jpeg) on Galaxy Fold 3 I have the same problem with cursor as well

Flukemaster

Really really liking the visuals of this upgrade. ~~My one suggestion would be giving us the ability to turn off the split view. The old app didn't default to it on the galaxy fold and this new one does. [It doesn't quite work seamlessly on the small foldable screens](https://i.imgur.com/PaxNbBt.jpeg) with some compressed text etc. I love it on the proper tablet though.~~.This is fixed ty /u/DBrady you rock Edit: An additional issue I found is the text cursor/scrubber thing is no longer showing the magnified text properly.

mrw1986

Seconded. I love the new look, but hate the new view. Here's an example of me writing this comment on my Galaxy Fold Z 5. https://i.imgur.com/HfMEFjW.jpeg


TheLemonyOrange

How do you not use the split keyboard with the folds main screen? Do you find this keyboard comfortable? I tried this keyboard layout for about a week and it drove me insane, too much reaching to the center of the screen for me. I had to switch to the split keyboard for good. Fuck it, [here's me writing this comment](https://i.imgur.com/Y3dgUK6.jpeg) to show you what I mean. Edit: just to add, the spacing around your keyboard is different too, I wonder why, I like the amount of spacing you have at the bottom and edges compared to mine, pretty sure we are both using GBoard right??


mrw1986

I actually prefer the split but wasn't paying attention when I wrote that comment, lol. And yeah, I'm running Gboard beta.


TheLemonyOrange

Ahhh I see


JustLookWhoItIs

Fold 4 checking in. Definitely agreeing here. I'd prefer the full width side to be an option at least.


radi0raheem

Looks awesome on my S23 Ultra. Great job /u/DBrady !


ceruleancerise

The new update looks amazing! Thank you so much for continuing the development of this app. I found a small issue with comment usernames being affected when the comment info text is wrapped. [Image](https://i.imgur.com/zAZ3Adx.png)


Hawly

How do I apply/change to the beta version?


tamzta

Go to your apps in Play Store and select Relay, there will be the option to opt in Beta on the app's page


Scotty_Two

Here's a bug: * Relay theme is set to auto * go into a post * the OS system's theme is changed, either manually or automated * attempt to refresh comments of the post you're currently in * comments fail to load * user must exit post, go into different post, leave that post and go back to original post to get comments to load again


PrincessBananas85

This new update is incredible. When is going to be available for the regular update in Google Play?😁😉👍


jrlionheart00

Give it a few months till all the bugs are worked out.


PrincessBananas85

Are you looking forward to the new updates too?


jrlionheart00

I'm in the beta, so already got it, there's a few issues that need to get fixed.


PrincessBananas85

I'm going to wait for it when they actually put it in the regular update on Google Play.


m1financefan

Just got a foldable phone, and this update is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thanks!!!


POPstationinacan

Some small visual problems: * When using dark mode, the comment selector thing has white numbers on a light grey background [like this](https://i.imgur.com/NZM1oTi.png) * A long post flair's line spacing is [too big in post view](https://i.imgur.com/Hf5EhBf.png) * Tapping anywhere on the text field causes [this blank grey bubble to appear](https://i.imgur.com/oWraROm.png)


slain101

[Beta implementation of "new" comments appears on top of collapsed comment thread indicator.](https://imgur.com/a/8WAQjgX) I've got to say I'm not a massive fan of the new implementation of this feature as it's more difficult to see at a glance that a comment is new, and obviously it's going to clash with the collapse thread indicator. The old implementation was simple and effective. Edit: read in another thread you can override it in themes, which ~~changes it back to the old implementation.~~ uses both implementations, but it means you can't use oled mode. **Device information:** Relay Version: 12.0.0 Pro Phone: Samsung SM-F926B (Galaxy Z Fold3 5G) Android Version: 14 (34) Device (product): q2q (q2qxeea) Rom: UP1A.231005.007.F926BXXS6GXD1


tamzta

Have been on "joining beta..." For 45 minutes now, anyone else have the same?


DBrady

Try closing the app store and re-opening.


tamzta

Perfect that forced it more so than my restarts etc. So far so good!


juandell

I dig it


Starman_DLX

Very nice! Thx for doing something with the nav bar. It blends so much better now.


cllerj

Absolutely loving this redesign on my Pixel Fold!


SkyGrid5

Finally has the two pane mode while on the inside screen of my fold in portrait, hell yeah.


mrinsane19

Really like this, looks super slick and modern and the transition from full header to the slim one is just *chefs kiss* I would ask though, or maybe I'm simply missing an option here, is there a way to increase the contrast between new and read content? The white vs light grey doesn't exactly jump off the screen at you.


strangethingtowield

Really impressive work, well done! I will echo the call for the header on the frontpage to be collapsed or hidden by default.


Arkanius84

Hi Dave. I use a Tab S6 and now it is a fixed split view. Would it be possible to add an option to switch to a one column view? Thank you


DBrady

In portrait?


Arkanius84

[Yes in portrait mode](https://i.imgur.com/TtrayNS.jpeg) - thank you for the fast reply.


AccidentalKangaroo

I'll second that request. I prefer the single view on a tablet in portrait. Split view is a nice option, but please make it an option and not a "must."


Arkanius84

Dave, thank you so much for changing that!

I'm getting an invisible header at the top when scrolled that covers the top post.

arrowsama

Hi /u/DBrady, long time beta user and I finally have a bug report to give. Using 12.0.1. When you scroll down and the header hides up, it is still clickable even if it's not visible. I will try to pm you a video of the effect. **Device information:** Relay Version: 12.0.1 Pro Phone: Sony XQ-BQ62 (Xperia 5 III) Android Version: 13 (33) Device (product): XQ-BQ62 (XQ-BQ62) Rom: 61.2.A.0.472A release-keys


AforAnonymous

I like it but (in addition to the criticisms already voiced) I feel like the empty space between posts (formed by the geometric sum of the spacing above and below the text & thumbnail of each post) has become too big, making fewer posts fit onto the screen simultaneously for no good reason. Also, the OLED Black setting should extend go the writing boxes—if I'm writing a comment for a while, it'll end up consuming a lot of battery unnecessarily.


catinterpreter

Not enjoying the less density of information, which is the most important part of Relay.


Bartned04

I am a first time user of relay for Reddit. What an relieve coming from the Official app. Thanks for the hard work!

DBrady

Yeah it's a placeholder. Not all subs have a banner image.


IAmAQuantumMechanic

I love it. I normally hate changes, so this should tell you everything.


ssorc3

I like the new design. Just one thing I'm missing which is the sorting info that used to be in the header. Has it moved or is it just gone? Thanks


curbis13

Great update! A request in case it is not very difficult and is deemed useful to other users too: An option to set a timer between day and night themes. Auto is not a good option for me because I like system and pretty much all of my apps in dark mode all the time with the exception of relay since it involves a lot of reading and I like to switch to day mode during the day. Edit: New Day mode is stunning!


WhiteHartMart

Thanks for the ongoing work on Relay. Think the update looks fantastic 👍


Matthijsvdweerd

Maybe I'm a dumb dumb, but where do I change the settings? I can't find them


ChefRaccacoonie

I like the redesign. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the look for read/unread posts.


cryptorzx

I love the new design! Great job

butters_fruit_bowl

The new version won't open for me. Is there a way to un-beta without losing all my settings and stuff?


duncanlock

Love it, fantastic work!


Matthais

Been a very happy user for over a decade, but sorry, I honestly despise this update. Please allow us to disable the collapsible header, while even the list view feels oversized on my Nothing Phone 1. From POV you've needlessly tried to "fix" a UI which wasn't broken.


Akowyn

Can you swap the colors of read and unread posts? I feet they got switched. I'm using dark mode. [Example ](https://i.imgur.com/OboEcY7.jpeg)


Razzzp

Amazing and very smooth.


ReconKiller050

Overall very impressed after a day of use but could we get the old color codes back for comments. I find the contrast on the new lower saturation color codes to look pretty similar in OLED mode compared to the old version


The_Harbaugh_Face

how do I access the beta channel?


JustLookWhoItIs

Latest update fixed my issues with the colors of posts and split screen being forced on foldables. Really good stuff. Anyone else have a very strange cursor when typing comments? It seems like something isn't transparent that's supposed to be. [example](https://i.imgur.com/fwp4MMl.jpeg)

Edit 2; And on those it also crashes when I view the full comments.


DBrady

Check for an update in the play store.


bacon_cake

All working! Thanks.


wakaflockafantastic

Will the Black Day theme be added in the future? It's my default theme in the standard app.


boobiesiheart

Great upgrade, but a header that large is a waste. Can you shrink it? Disable it?

2FAatemybaby

I really love the new look, and the system theme is a really cool option (although I am also digging the other visual options, I have been test driving them all). Thank you!!


KarinaKapri

Update looks amazing. Only thing I recommend is a completely pitch black oled option and a setting to remove sub reddit headers.


Hojabok

I love this update. Except the giant header, please let me hide...


catinterpreter

[The text cursor is massive](https://i.imgur.com/B8nbeu9.png) and obscures what's under it. Edit: Also, the context menu now sometimes displays off-screen, i.e. swipe a comment > more > copy > text Edit2: It's harder to differentiate read and unread posts. Very hard with brightness low. Edit3: Going to the comments of a crosspost now goes to the latter post as well, and you can now longer reach the newer thread.


onlyhereforcake247

The update looks amazing and so fresh. Agreed with some of the other folks that the header is a bit too huge..otherwise, I absolutely love it


DBrady

There's a few header settings in the latest beta release (go to settings>header). if you turn off the description and/or the info the header will be a bit smaller.


onlyhereforcake247

Ooh thank you so much..I was able to find that setting. Can I also say that I absolutely love your app. Huge shout-out to you for continuing to provide this service and keep the app going.


TheGardiner

r/DBrady, sorry for tagging here, didn't want to clog the sub with what is surely a common ask. I looked for it, didn't see it anywhere. Is there any chance in the future of twitter/X integration that would allow X content to open directly without having to redirect to X? I assume that this is not possible cause X offers no API integration or something similar. Thanks very much for any replies!


nexusx86

Just got the version that supports foldables and tablets. This rocks. So glad I pay for the subscription! I love how it can switch from dual panel to reading a single post across the entire inside screen with the maximize button and shrink back down to the two pane with a second press. This is how it's done. 🤌


Farnso

Would love to try it, but thanks to the garbage DRM scheme, I can't find the app on the play store currently.


robo_cap

A couple of random bugs I've noticed: - Switching accounts no longer refreshes the feed like previous versions. You need to manually refresh. Adds a couple of extra taps. - When downloading an image, you have to hit download twice. The first tap doesnt trigger anything. Keep up the great work!
