While I like a majority of the app, I wish there was some way to adjust or turn off the auto scroll feature.
There’s potential

I think the overall timeline browsing experience is nice however I find it pretty lacking in terms of customizability at the moment. Something as simple as reorganizing your tabs or being able to control which notifications you receive. The biggest sell is the column view however this only works for feeds and not something like your Chat or Notification tab. Some tabs like the Profile, Chat and Notification views feel more like blown up versions of the iPhone/iPad view and not really suited for a desktop Mac experience.I hope the experience continues to improve.
- Reduced loading times for notifications and feed lists.
- Fixed temporary connection or service issues unexpectedly returning you to the login screen.
- Fixed profile information being lost when pinning or unpinning posts, and list information being lost when editing lists.
