Awesome app, but two problems :( – Burst for reddit Review

I love this app. It’s buttery smooth, smartly designed, and most of all it lets me take a short dip into comments without getting lost in all of reddit. It’s definitely my favorite reddit app by far! But about a year ago I stopped using it because of two problems. And unfortunately they still exist. 1: sometimes when trying to swipe down to exit a preview, it just. Doesn’t? The image just bounces back up and you have to use the “x” button instead. Not a huge deal, but it does break the flow that makes this app so awesome. 2: and then here’s the deal breaker. About half the posts that are gifs are in horrible quality. You can see the preview which looks decent, and you can open the post in other reddit apps and have the quality you expect. But when you open it through Burst you would swear you just opened a 240p YouTube video (sometimes worse) That alone is the reason I can’t keep using this app. If it was just a low quality post that would be one thing, but when multiple other reddit apps show it in perfect quality, it’s a whole other issue. So for now I’ll be switching back to the official reddit app. But I’ll be keeping an eye on Burst in hopes of some fixes rolling out! Easy 5 star if that happens!
