It’s really hard to tell wether there is a new posting in a channel or not. Yes, its bold - but barely visible:

I can see your frustration on this and I wrote few words about my frustration also here. Basically, having the setting Store_Last_Message disabled by default is a huge mistake for the new ecosystem of Rocket.Chat and should be enabled by everyone. Please enable that and you’ll be able to see the list with the last message text, the unread indicator (on the date for channels, because there’s no way for the clients to know how many messages are unread in groups/channels today) and the sorting will make much more sense to you.

@rstockm

A user/server-settings option would be perfect, I guess.

Thanks for pointing that, I just created an issue for that and we’ll figure out how to deal with it.

@rstockm

The color settings for the sidebar on the new channel-list ignore the ones I’ve set server-wide for the webview and the desktop app. Why? I like the “dark sidebar, white content” view very much. The new themes are “all white” vs. “all dark”. Please consider an option to take over the colors I’ve set server-wide.

You’re suggesting that one view stays dark and one stays light? We tried this options and it really doesn’t feel right in mobile, because you’ll only see one content instead of two at the same time (like on the web).

@rstockm

I like the new options for grouping and sorting the channel list, good job. But there seems to be a bug in the “sort by activity” view - channels with the newest postings appear on the bottom on the list, it should be on the top? This might be a server issue, though - we’re running 0.64.2

Please, see my comment about the Store_Last_Message, enabling it will change your life forever.

As I already pointed out here, the swipe gesture to get back to the channel list from a channel is not in line with iOS UI standards. Right now, it’s like this:

Great suggestions here! Just added one issue about that: [NEW] Support dragging the whole list of messages instead of just the "left-corner" · Issue #2007 · RocketChat/Rocket.Chat.iOS · GitHub.

@rstockm

there is a spelling-suggestion for the word “broken” underneath that cant the reached (the barely seable bubble).

Thanks, also created a new issue for that: [BUG] Composer "autocomplete" is being hidden on multiple lines · Issue #2008 · RocketChat/Rocket.Chat.iOS · GitHub.

@rstockm

Again, thank you very much for your awesome work. I know you invested lot’s of time in this release, so this might feel like a letdown. I figure most of the issues I pointed out could be fixed with option settings, so your vision on “how it should be” stays alive, but power-users like me and my team can have a more “pro” setting for everyday (hour, minute) usage where every gesture and (touch)click counts.

I appreciate your honest feedback with all these screenshots and good ideas. Please, enable the setting Store_Last_Message in your server and try again, you’ll have a whole new experience with the app.

To enable it, just go do Administration → General → Store Last Message (turn it on). After that, all new conversations are going to start appearing different on the app.
