Is there any word when the pinch zoom feature on iOS Memmy will be fixed? I really love just about everything about this app, but the pinch zoom is just so janky and pretty much broken. I see lots of features getting added, so why has this basic feature not gotten the love it needs?

Agreed, the image viewer is the big stand out issue for me too. The variability of the tap-back-to-full-size is frustrating, and that you can “lose” the image off-screen makes no sense at all.

I like being able to zoom and focus on a side of the photo with a section of the screen just black. But losing the photo entirely is not good I agree.

I moved over to Avelon and it has the pinch zoom and is similar to Memmy.

Funny, I just opened Avelon and saw your message :) I’m bouncing between 3 or 4 apps trying to find the balance. Lemmy had the lead, even with the image viewer as it is. I’ve been waiting for Instance Blocking for a while now, and Lemmy introduced it but it’s been broken since. That’s really the thing I’m missing - just so much shit I don’t want to see in All, but not enough content in specific communities to only view Subscribed.

To be honest it seems that development has stalled a bit lately.

I think they’re working towards a larger 1.0 release. Fixing up things because the fast development introduced a lot of bugs.

Copying a previous comment:

It’s been on our todo list but we have been a little burnt out from Memmy development and lemmy in general so things have been slow. Plus I’ve been addicted to baldurs gate.

I moved to Avelon and it seems to be a little more complete including functional pinch zoom. Too bad as I did like Memmy.

Also have been using Avelon more lately - they do images well, but videos on the other hand have zero control beyond pause, with no ability to resize, skip, etc
