Floatplane Hack 0.4.9 + Redeem Codes

Great job in getting the iOS app out but I have some suggestions that would really help. It looks like this isn’t a native iOS app which is fine but it needs some work to work well. First when playing a video we need the ability to zoom into videos to fill up the screen on devices that have taller screens like iPhone X ect. Second when dragging a video down to close it or keep it in picture in picture mode the animation is broken and when you want to close a picture in picture video the swipe is really janky and broken. Third when you open a channel from the channels screen the button to go back should just be a back button and not a button that says channels and is blue. Fourth I can’t control the video from control center and I can’t pause or play with inline controls and there is also no AirPlay. Keep up the great work guys! Really rooting for you!

I love the app, but I have two mains issues with it. For one, about half the time I load up a video, the loading circle in the middle of the screen does not go away by itself. The only way to get rid of it is to reopen the app or is to exit the video and reopen it. This is pretty frustrating as it is distracting as it’s in the middle of the screen.

The second issue is the app keeps on signing me out every couple days or something like that. This is the only entertainment app on my phone which signs me out after a set amount of time. I find this annoying as I like to sign in and forget. If I wanted to sign out, I would sign out. Not sure if this was a design decision or a bug. These bugs are not preventing me from using the app, it’s just annoying.

Again, I love the progress you guys made on the app. Keep up the great work!

Don’t get me wrong, the app is well designed and the video playback is very much superior than Safari’s video player. The downside is, there still aren’t as many features. This goes from a 2 star to a 4 star because the app is actually useable now, since the buffer glitch seems fixed. I think the main one I want to see in another update is background play/picture in picture support. Then, the app will go to 5 stars.

PS: Maybe allow a link for sign up on the website since Apple can’t muzzle y’all anymore on that?

The latest update has done so much for this app. It was fine before, aside from a few bugs that went away after force closing the app, but the app feels so much better now.

The new channel drop-down is great, I love being able to see videos from specific LTT channels with a button press instead of having to search.

The video player has finally been updated and it is so much easier to use now. Before the close and maximize buttons were shoved in the corners of the screen, making it near impossible to click, but they’ve since been moved to a spot that’s much easier to use.

Definitely giving it five stars because I'm extremely happy with not having to use my web browser any longer on my phone and iPad.

Wanted Features:
Ability to see last viewed or favorite channel so I don't have to reach all the way up to the channels I subscribe to when entering app. (When not stored in ram)

Viewed indicator: would be amazing to have cross-platform.

Notification for newly released videos as an option but not automatically turned on.

Smaller options for video thumbnails as an option to have more displayed on screen (iPad)

Saved/Favorited/Watch Later folders (also-cross platform)

I also assume you're working on managing subscriptions through the app but that'd be nice as well.

Note: Have fun with SwiftUi. I couldn't find a LTT fourm for app discussion, that'd be nice to communicate through. Obviously it's a young app so I'm definitely not complaining about the above comments I just want to help by providing some additional input. -Austin_MrKrabs

New user and the first roadblock I hit is that Iliterally have no option to create a profile. Big oversight in my opinion and for people who give big importance to first impressions this might be a huge red flag right out of the gate and I wonder how many people haven’t even created their accounts and just straight up deleted the app cause it seems like a chore to just go and open a browser and create an account for something that shouldn’t be this complicated.

I got the float plane app so I could watch my favorite channels video a week in advance. The app is pretty good but pretty minimal. Works good for watching videos but I’ll leave some suggestions.
1. I wish there was a Apple TV app so I could watch on my tv.
2. Sometimes the videos stop buffering and just sit there with the wheel spinning in the middle.
3. The ability for channels to add playlists. Watching LTT I wish I could just see the regular videos or short circuit videos etc.
Good work on the app floatplane team and sorry for how bad Apple has treated you.

It’s functional, and given how hard the development of this app has been (thanks to Apple) it’s actually better than I thought from what’s been said about making it. A few things make it hard to use though, on my iPad it only works in vertical except for video playback, and it’s 1 tile per row, so thumbnails are way too big and scrolling through a backlog cumbersome. The app also does not support AirPlay, my HDMI dongle for my iPad simply mirrors my screen in a small window on my TV. Overall though, it works in a pinch if you want to support creators and I’m glad it exists! I’m hopeful over time these things will get refined.

I love floatplane! And the content! Theres just a couple of features id love to see for the ios version to push it to 5 stars, the first would be ios notifications when new videos are uploaded, the ability to use ios picture in picture and airplay, and the ability to search through videos, so that we dont have to scroll through all the videos to find one we want! Keep up the great work!

There is literally no option to create a new account of where to go to create one?? I have been a Linus supporter for freaking years now. I mean years like even before the copper whole house water cooling project.. I thought y’all would be smart enough to include a super no duh option of giving an option to create an account on the frikin home sign in page??? Please do this so me and I am guessing probably tons of others that saw that and just left without complaining.. If you want more users you should probably give them an option to become a user lol
