Reddit seems to be doing something weird with some video uploads, on New Reddit, the video shows as embedded but on Old Reddit and Narwhal it shows as a broken Imgur link.

Here is an example:

https://reddit.com/r/machinedpens/comments/1x5bs4j/first_production_tidam_rave

That link tries to load this url: https://imgur.com/a/Q8LIEeb which comes back as an unfound page on Imgur, but it is a working embedded video on New Reddit.

Love the app and very happy with the overall performance and feel of narwhal but I feel the only glaring downside are themes. The lack of and the difficulty in sharing them. Could this be looked into?

Cheers 🙏

Hey everyone,

I'm having an issue where clicking on a specific post flair within a subreddit returns a "Hmm... there are no results" page, even though I know posts with that flair exist.

This happens on both the mobile app and desktop. Sometimes it seems to struggle specifically with German/special characters (like umlauts), but other times it completely blanks out standard flairs too.

Is this a known search bug, or is there a specific setting (like Safe Search/NSFW filters) that might be accidentally blocking the results? Any workarounds or fixes would be highly appreciated. Thanks

The app won’t seem to load. Everything I’m seeing online says the Reddit API is up, everything on Reddit’s side is up, and Narwhal is apparently working. I tried resetting my phone and that didn’t get it working either. Clearly Reddit is working, because I’m making it this post, so I’m not too sure what could be causing this.

I know that you can filter posts from subbreddits from appearing in your feed, but you can still access the subreddits if you search for them. There should be a way to block them from being viewed in their entirety.

I’ve searched the subreddit and tried force closing and I re installed the app. but I can’t restore purchase and am locked out of narwhal. My monthly sub renewed a week ago and I’ve been subscribed for 6 months at least with no issues.

I keep getting this error, but with no obvious pattern as to when or why. If I go back and vote again, it seems to save. Searching around, the best I can find is that there may be some issues with votes saving on old.reddit, but I didn’t have any luck duplicating the issue from a browser.

If it’s a Reddit thing, so be it, but if it’s an app thing, I’d appreciate any advice (I did log out and back in, but I haven’t gone so far as to delete the app as I don’t want to set it up all over again)

These bot accounts are just spamming every single search.

Option to:

Not extend media more than screen height on main view, it should be reduced to show full media height.

Hide sorting bar and only appear upon clicking title area, and/or show sort menu when clicking title. I'm annoyed when it keeps on appearing and disappearing all the time while scrolling. Maybe add on option to display a pop up menu in the title bar which would disable the sorting bar.

Reduce title height when no actions are added in layout settings.

Show subreddit icon next to subreddit name.

Show subreddit name in post title bar.

View one page at a time.

Change post background color upon voting, with option to choose color.

To display upvote and downvote button, and disable swiping. This will help people who are used to press upvote/downvote buttons.

Show black background when displaying image instead of white background.

Not play video automatically for NSFW posts.

Open video full screen when clicking on a video instead of opening the post.

Disable swiping from right to show last page visited once past the post. It gets in the way when I'm trying to upvote post.

Disable swiping to open the menu. There's an option to place the menu button on the bar anyway. It also gets in the way when I'm trying to upvote post.

Feature requests:

Auto play video only after it's fully visible on screen.

Clicking on the video inside post view should open the video full screen.

Media should stop playing as soon as it's no longer visible when scrolling. Currently it still plays when it's no longer visible.

To not stop videos when clicking to open post while playing video. Also to continue the video playing full screen.

Option to show hidden posts while instead subreddit.

Bugs:

Option to replay videos when they end does not turn it off.

Swiping left to return to main is glitchy, many times it springs back.

Swiping to vote on post often causes the menu to display instead.

I come across posts which say "The post contains content not supported on old Reddit. Click here to view the full post." Nothing happens when I click that though.

Narwhal feedback in settings doesn't allow me to enter text.

I’m specifically asking about links like /r/laundry/s/Cvhr6neB5a, as seen here.

It should lead to this post.

My apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere. Thanks!

Videos used to load fine. But in recent months they don’t load properly at all. They also often freeze the app entirely. I love the app, but surely this is something that could be vibe coded in a few minutes?

When I was signing up for Narwhal, the text before the signup mentioned a 7-day free trial. However, I was immediately billed by Apple when I chose a plan. Does the free trial still exist?

This r/celebportrait is showing up in my r/all and it does not let me filter it. Any ideas on why? It's just bots posting half naked images, and generally I can filter anything. I can filter other subreddits still, so if doesn't seem like I've hit a limit.

I’ve just joined a Discord group about a Reddit sub, which opens Reddit links within the app- I’m totally new to discord - can I force it to open Reddit links in narwhal? Thanks.

Possible to add translation native in app? When I land on a sub that is a different language, I will need to highlight text and then use the translate function in the iPhone which opens up a new screen (apple translate pop up). Would be great, if it all was rendered on the same screen, and it would happen automatically.

There are quite a few subreddits that I’d like to filter out and would be lovely to have the option to filter out something like “*Tea” to filter out all of the subreddits that end in Tea. Would love a feature like that if possible!

Hey guys, I run a big app scoreboard for hockey and baseball for new reddit, with an old reddit fallback. Problem is, on norwhal, which some of my users use, it looks just like a list of "view table"

a sample thread too for how it looks on desktop old reddit:
https://old.reddit.com/r/nhlscores/comments/1wx0g9o/game_thread_blues_100_at_avs_100_03_oct_2026/

Any way I can get my Narwhal users less annoyed with me here?

Every time I open the app, I keep seeing posts I already saw, or even liked. Could be a day later or on the same day. Yes, the settings are set correctly. I can hit the hide all read posts button a million times and I still get the same result, even though at that moment posts are hidden.

And honestly? The fact that I can NEVER get a response from the developer is just messed up. This is a app I pay for after all.

This began on the latest iOS update. It’s even worse typing this post because the text box is at the bottom of the screen and completely behind the text effects. See screenshot. I replaced my original screen grab with one of this post since this way makes it clearer.

I have like 50 India subreddits filtered, but more and more keep popping up in r/all and I'm so sick of it. Just let me filter subreddits *india*.
