Getting very frustrated

It seems like this app wants to always go back to its "just opened" state. Even when I am writing a reply and switch away to the browser for a second - reply is gone, I'm out of my Reddit, and I'm back at the beginning. Just now, I decided to try going split screen. It did the same thing, before even touching the other app. I'm on an iPad Pro 12.9 2018 with no issues and lots of space. I'm sick of reopening my Reddit's and finding where I was before.
Video player needs work

Half of the time when I play a video, the app freezes up so hard it almost crashes my phone (not the app, MY WHOLE PHONE). Double cool that while its frozen, the audio won’t stop, so if you accidentally left your volume up a bit loud, have fun getting blasted with sound while Narwhal grinds your phone to a halt. This app is great otherwise.
Opening app stops music playback

Love the app, used it for years. Recently every time I open the app it stops whatever’s playing on my phone. Extremely annoying.
Not any better than the Reddit app

Narwhal randomly freezes all the time, for seemingly no reason, resulting in freezing my whole device. On top of that, gifs don’t auto play even after setting it so it would, among many other small details. If you use Reddit often and expect a fluid experience, look elsewhere.
Auto play on scroll

This all needs an option to auto play videos and GIFs while scrolling through subreddits and not to always have to click on them to auto play them
Clean and fast

I’ve compared narwhal to the official Reddit app a few times and narwhals strength is it’s simplicity and layout in its interface that makes browsing thru Reddit very fast and efficient. The official Reddit app is so busy and poorly laid out. With narwhal I can scan more posts in a shorter amount of time. Plus narwhal has single tap comment collapse and automatically marks posts as read and has the “mark all above as read” feature and even a “hide all above” to organize posts better so you don’t keep re-reading the same post titles. If you go through tons of posts per day on Reddit, narwhal is the better choice. It has better control over font settings too. I hope the creators never mess up narwhal and try to be more like the official Reddit app with more flashy icons that are just not necessary.
