Narwhal released v2 of their app today to the general public. As a loyal narwhal user before I moved to lemmy, I still had the app on my phone so I checked it out.
The app now shows your api usage so you know how much you’ll need to pay based on your average browsing habits. It’s making users uncomfortable because they can’t browse carefree knowing the counter goes up every time they do something in the app.
Such a shame because the new app version is beautiful, but look at what reddit is forcing app devs to do just so their app can live on.

Absolutely nuts to have users pay for engagement. It seems like the worst possible solution to me…
They say there are plans though, how much are they and does this mean there is some kind of “care free plan” for an outrageous amount of money that allows unlimited access?
Imagine paying to upvote or downvote people.
Seeing this post reminded me to delete the Narwhal app.
Uninstalled relay for reddit the other day.
I’ll not be giving them ad information / revenue and paying them to see if

After seeing how Narwhal 2 looks, I actually wish they would.
