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 like this app, but having trouble posting pictures to Facebook from my gallery. I can browse, I select a picture, but post button is grayed out. Also, having troubles accessing one of the pages I manage, and messages for that page. Just keeps loading messages page asking me to search for messages from friends, with a list of friends to click on, as suggestions, below. Confession, I do have an older android phone, but everything else works great.
