The app is already available in Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appyet.demo.v4&hl=en

The app is GORGEOUS!! And the videos work great, even with Chromecast support, VLC style controls and all !! GREAT !!!

I would like to see how to control the way articles are displayed. In my case, most posts have 3 pictures: the logo for the website, the main picture and a second picture. And the feed always shows the logo of the website prominently, and then the other 2 pictures. I would prefer to be able to control what picture is presented (only the featured image would be my ideal choice). Can that be done or is there any way I can control that ?

Some images showing how I see it:

Chromecast seems not to work with movies from my feed in webm format. They play perfect in the feed, but when I send them to Chromecast, I get an "Appyet" screen in the Chromecast and a messague "media not available" in the phone.

Looks like a disappointment for our App theme Concept Which is already live , Please Tell us That there is A option to disable all the video sections and unwanted tabs and the old list View style will be there (atleast look wise ) so we can Get our users to read in simple format without all the other Features. And Please add hide/unpublish option for Explore as it will ruin Many App themes which is live in Current Theme and also the liked section also please include a unpublish/ hide and for video icon also , Please Ensure All Features have Hide/Unpublish Button So Users can Add it the Way They Like, and Also for Refresh We Get New Articles Message , Please add a option to Customise the Sucess Message so that all Users can add According to the need of their App. I hope U will see this and Take Actions As we Have Used the Platform Daily that is What i Feel and Scroll Down is Not Working In the App cannot Read Articles adding to this please add a refresh Button Inside the Article Section.
Please its a humble request from me , Been an user from 3 Years.

Suggestions for Beta version:

1. The Share Button at the bottom right corner in each feed article is missing. That Share button is a very important and attractive feature.
2. If possible then kindly reduce the app size below 10 MB with Android App Bundle.
3. Update the Facebook Audience Network SDK from version 5.3 to 5.6 or the latest as it is required to show ads.

Thanks @appyet for your awesome continuous free service. I am testing the app and more issues will be posted to this thread.

The new version looks very great, @appyet!

Here are the bugs I found:

1. The application is set to be displayed as an option to open PDF documents that are saved in the phone. If the "AppYet Demo" option is selected to open the document, the application opens it as if it were a video. It should not appear as an option to open PDF documents.

2. The Settings page and popups doesn't adapt the background to dark mode.

3. Options is not working.

4. Share Article option looks pretty bad.

5. Twitter module is not working.

And here some suggestions:

1. On the AppYet website there should be an option to put a "main color", which would be applied in the texts and selectors of the Settings page, background of the bubbles of the home page, text of the tabs...

(Video removed after bug fixing)
This is a full recording, I didn't edit/cut the scenes. In the first video playing (Avengers) the app quites when I tap on the timing progress bar to go forward. In the second one (Deadpool) the app crashes when I tap on The timing progress bar too.
@Eduardo said that he got the same issue.
