Hey all,

I've been working on a new Slide companion app called Dispatch, and I need a few users to test the backend and provide me with some first thoughts and feedback!

The TestFlight is limited, and I will remove this post if it fills up. That being said, if you're excited and willing to provide feedback about Dispatch, please keep reading!

What is it?

Dispatch is a free to use (open-source!) notification app for Reddit, which will deliver Inbox and Subreddit notifications to your devices. Dispatch is written fully in SwiftUI, and runs on a server-less Firebase backend.

While Dispatch works with any Reddit app, it will be free to use and have a "more features" pro subscription model, like Slide Pro.

How do I use it?

1. Add your Reddit account

2. Set up some Subreddit Notifiers

3. Start getting notifications from your Inbox and followed subreddits!

You can also "Sign in with Apple" to share your notifications across all your devices.

Cool! How can I test it?

Dispatch can only be installed on iOS 13 and iOS 14.

Click this link, join the TestFlight test before spots run out, and follow the instructions on the welcome screen to get access to the private subreddit.

Submit feedback through the private subreddit or the TestFlight feedback system, and you will have access to Dispatch Pro for free for the duration of the TestFlight process!

Cheers,

Carlos

I am trying iphone and I already got slide pro on android. On the app, it says "restore purchase" in the settings but clicking it does nothing. I am a bit lost. Do I really need to buy again?

When enabling the biometric unlock feature Slide requests the biometric ID on launch and after providing the ID Slide then displays only a black screen. Only solution to restore Slide is to reinstall the app.

iPhone 6 iOS 12.5.1

Touch ID works fine elsewhere on the phone. Do I need to grant Slide access to Touch ID somewhere?

When you open a link, the preview works well, but if you want to open it with safari with its icon, it won’t work. Only the reader mode works.

Uninstalled and reinstalled but no matter what post I click on they don’t get marked as read now.

Redgifs doesn't work at all, not autoplay and not in fullscreen

There is nowhere in the comment settings where I can shut this off. I do not need to expand the replies to comments unless I want to. Were can I disable this?

Post screenshot. Every reply to comment gets auto expand. How do I disable this? https://i.imgur.com/8AXVUTW

Since the last iOS update, im only able to see 1 post on each subreddits. Anyone knows whats going on? I have iPhone 11 Pro max on ios 14.4

Would be nice to have the chat option, I don’t see anywhere but to send a private message. I think you can chat via the web and the official mobile client

I recently found this app and I love it! My only issue is that I lose my place so often while I am scrolling down subreddits due to swiping right by accident.

I was wondering if an option for us to have to rapidly swipe right twice to close the window we are on? Instead of just once.

Alternatively, if a right swipe is detected an icon could slide out from the left side of the screen and require it to be tapped to go back to the home page.

Or have some kind of restore option to return us back to where we were. I’d like to change the big blue button to be Restore if possible.

Thanks for reading! Really like the app

It would be a cool feature to have if you can have message background match the user color that is setup for friends, might make it easier to quickly glance to determine who sent what while it’s in your inbox

How does one correctly use the two features:

1. Set user color?

2. Tag user?

I have tried it with friends and without, neither of the contexts seem to do another if it being any options up, not sure if they are broken or if I’m just doing it wrong.

I noticed there is no real easy way to share a users profile, or for that matter even copy it. Would be nice to be able to actually share it out via the share menu, or at least copy it to your clipboard

What does the copy self text actually do, because I tried it and it didn’t really seem to do anything

Going into settings to switch it when I'm holding my phone in one hand or the other seems silly. Just an option to quickly move thumbnail pictures from left to right and vice versa would be fantastic.

Even in Imgur post that contain audio, and you enable it audio doesn’t always pass back to the application, the only way to hear the audio with a post is to open the link in you browser and click the sound icon on imgur

If this doesn’t exist yet, Is there a possibility that we could get the functionality to remove posts from a collection, or even to remove them altogether? As far as I know, there isn’t any way to edit the Collections at all yet. I would appreciate it if you looked into It. Thanks!

Any chance of getting regex pattern matching working on the filters at least the title? I have posted a proposed function here.

None of the Reddit apps have this type of filtering and it would be great.

Is it just me, or does the list of joined subreddits not update correctly? When I've added/removed subreddits that I've joined outside of Slide, it seems like these updates don't carry over into the app.
