Gumroad 17+

Needs Work edit: It's good now!

edit: the Gumroad staff seems to have corrected and patched the flaws I once lamented in this post. Congratulations to them! The app is now quite sleek and usable. Good stuff! Thanks for all your hard work.

old post: It looks nice but it's been crashing often. The video content I'm using it for has audio when I watch it on the pc but doesn't in the iOS app-this is a pretty big deal. I'm looking forward to some of these problems getting corrected and giving the app and the hard working team behind it the five stars they deserve, but it's just being held back by a few unfortunate flaws at the moment.

*Video not currently available* Error

Love this app and it’s simplicity. I use it to watch MDE/ Sam Hyde/ Nick Rochefort videos, streams, podcasts etc. Aside from some minor user interface updates that would improve speed/ ease of use; my only real issue is that when watching/ listening to videos they tend to glitch out and give me a playback error almost every time I go from Wi-Fi signal in my house/ at work and go to 5G cell service on a walk, commute to work etc. Something about going from signal to Wi-Fi or vice versa causes the error, it’s constant and frustrating because the only fix is to close the App, start over, and scroll through all the old watched videos to find which one I left off at. Please fix this and over time perhaps the interface could include extras like options to hide already watched content etc. just to make quality of life improvements…

New Format Makes Finding Content Harder

This update is a step backward, in my experience. In video courses I’ve bought—ones with many, many chapters—videos now take a lot longer to find. The content inside these modules used to be titles-only, in a compact list, but now they include an “expanded” view of what are supposed to be video thumbnails (no thumbnails actually show). I used to scan titles quickly in a compact list view. Now, to find a video, I have to scroll down way farther to find the titles I’m looking for, and it’s making the app a lot less convenient. There’s too much fluff when trying to navigate my course content. Please change it back, or give us the option to switch how our material is displayed: in a more compact list view, or this new expanded icon view. For complex online courses, the new format isn’t working for me.
