I find gesture based navigation (in the OS, not the app) to be pretty awful. My phone is therefore set to use 3 button navigation.

Mostly this works okay in Connect, but every once in a while I find something inaccessible - possibly even not visible - because the 3 buttons cover the interface elements.

A recent example I encountered was trying to export / import settings when switching between phones. I found how to do so in Connect settings, but had difficulty completing the process because both the “export” and “import” buttons were behind my system buttons and not very visible. I had to change my OS settings to even be able to access them after I found them.

Even more recently, which is to say today, I was trying to navigate through a video (which seems an iffy process anyway) and was unable to do so because the progress bar was, again, under my system buttons.

    The onky controls my navigation buttons cover is the share/download/etc buttons that appear when you click on an image and swipe up to bring up the panel.

    And yes, it is super annoying. I can’t even seem to 100% disable swipe actions. I do not want to swipe to do a god damn thing other than move the page up or down. Tired of accidentally saving or voting on things becsuse I didn’t move my finger vertically enough and it registered as a left or right swipe.

      I dislike how if I swipe on a large image to see the bottom of it, it simply closes the image unless zoomed in.

      It’s not all that arduous, but has annoyed me a few times.

      I generally like Connect, though. It’s certainly my favorite client that I’ve tried so far.

        Oh yeah. That one bugs me, too. Simply tapping the pic closes it, and sometimes trying to zoom in on it just registers a tap and closes the damn thing. 😮‍💨

        Also: I just encountered a NEW bug trying to reply to this direftly from my inbox. Hitting the reply button tried to EDIT YOUR COMMENT instead of replying to it, so when I hit send it would give an error saying I do not have permission to edit the comment 🤣 Had to click into the actual thread to reply.
