What's New in v0.6.1
Shiny new things
- Subscriptions in the Google Play version of Folo are now purchased through Google Play, with Play prices, Restore Purchases and management in the Play Store
Improvements
- Changes made offline or while the server is unreachable are kept and sent once the connection is back; only changes the server refuses are undone, and the app tells you
- The timeline shows stored entries while its first page loads, and entry content that could not load offline appears once you are back online
- Better iPad and landscape layouts: screens adapt after a window resize or rotation, narrow iPad windows use the phone layout, Social Media posts and the Plan screen keep a readable width, header buttons stay clear of the window controls, and the full-screen player fits in landscape
- Follow links survive sign-in and two-factor authentication, preselect the view they ask for, and replace an earlier link's form
- Links the in-app browser cannot show open in the system, and shared entry, list and profile links point to the right page
- Clearer, translated errors for a failed pull to refresh, slow requests, AI summaries, unfollows, feeds or lists that don't exist, and refused sign-ins
- Tapping the current tab again scrolls its list to the top
- Signing out stops push notifications to the device
- Analytics no longer receives your name, email or handle
- New handles can contain only letters, numbers and underscores

- Fixed a link the app was opened with opening again after a reload or restore
- Fixed edits to lists, categories and subscriptions undoing changes made on other devices
- Fixed unread counts after a refused Mark all as read or a deleted list
