Ratings and reviews

Dark mode is iffy, but glad it exists. Being able to increase font is a great thing. However, trying to join a group, and the submit button just doesn't work. Haven't tried messages, because it's not important to me. I wanted a client that would enable me to keep separate for joining groups, but seems this is not the one.

I'm trying this out again. I don't like when you click on a person to message them, because the window pops up in the corner and is super glitchy (slow/lag). I have poor eyesight and need a whole screen to see the messages. Please fix the lag and the messaging (the only real reason i installed slim social) and I'll rate higher. Also, please add message previews.

I'm really satisfied with this app. I'll mention only 3 bugs that I'd like to be fixed. First one is occurring using Marketplace: going back after seeing an item makes you come back to the news feed instead of the marketplace home page. Thus meaning starting again with the same search for seeing other results. Second one are the lack of calls and the display of messenger app in general, which don't allow you to do many things other than typing short messages. Long messages are in fact quite difficult to write since the really short space available to read your message while you're typing. Last but not the least: tagging other people using the @tag is really painful and it's not always working. It isn't possible to tag a person only using his name and it's not possible to tag pages. That's all. Keep up the good work!
