So true. I love the app, but subtle lateral motion while scrolling through the comments kicks me back into the post listing very frequently. The app seems to react more sensitively to small, subtle lateral motion in a vertical scroll than it does to obvious, intentional lateral motion. For this reason, I’d prefer lateral swiping to be something that could be turned off. Using the back button works fine, no scroll left/right required

This is the #1 issue for me with this app

Thank Jerboa!

Happens to me also. First time usually leads to an almost blank screen, with an error message partially displayed near the top.

Second try usually works just fine

The only occasional exception to all this is when the link just abruptly crashes the app completely

Thank you! I didn’t even realize I needed this, but this makes things much better

Now, if only I could get the touch sensitivity of my phone decreased so that any stray sideward movement of my finger didn’t take me out of post comments and back into the post list.
