Merlin is tested and designed to work with 4chan boards.
A note on the handful of 1-3 star reviews: On February 27th 4chan made changes to the way WebMs are displayed on mobile, which broke Merlin's WebM detection. It took several days to get a fix out on the app store. People who had paid for Merlin were understandably upset.
As of version 2, Merlin's WebM detection is updated each time you open the app. If 4chan changes their WebM display again, it can be fixed the same day without needing to update the app. Thanks to those who reported the issue.
On iPhone X the notch bar at the top turns partially blue instead of being fully black. Also, please make it so you can full screen portrait mode a video instead of how it is currently which shrinks the portrait mode and fits it in a landscape view.
This is a great app for 4Chan, it works how it’s supposed to and easy to use. Though, it doesn’t really work for other sites like the booru sites. Good job though!
Okay, I legit love this app, when I feel like this could be improved when it comes to Webm files that’s like, size 1920 x 1080. That’s just a minor issues I’ve been having with this app, but I do genuinely love this and highly recommend it.
Please build in a landscape view! I want to use this app sideways.
Totally thought this app was going to the graveyard but glad to see the dev coming back to support it. Love the ability to clear cache and cookies now.
I would appreciate it if the dev actually updated and fixed bugs when they are becoming an issue. Currently force closes. Would be great if dev also considered feedback.. please add a functionality to download a video stored in Merlin to the phones drive
Good while it lasted. Now it doesn't even play webm over wifi on my iPad, but oddly SOMETIMES play over data on my phone. Also, no updates anymore because dev disappeared.
Great job mate. This is exactly what ios needed. You saved the world.
Can you guys make it possible to watch in horizontal view instead of being locked in vertical view
