• open app from sleep
• go to new post using global post button in footer
• start typing

happens inconsistently enough & likely related to post restoration, pushing to 4.9

Bump. From a user:

As for the lag, it doesn't appear to be a resource issue. This happens both when initially creating a post and while editing. Again, this was an issue that didn't exist with the previous version of the app and only seems to occur in the visual editor (Typing in this conversation window seems to work perfectly!)

Just spit-balling, but maybe the slowness could be caused by multiple observers registered with notification center?

Hi guys. I just reached out for help via in-app support and was directed here. I'm experiencing the same issue with input lag while creating or editing a post. Let me know what I can do or provide to help with fixing the issue.

A user reported this typing lag again on iPhone 5, iOS 9.2.1, app v. 5.8. The issue was specifically with the visual editor; disabling the visual editor improved their typing experience.

Two users reported this issue in app reviews using app v. 6.0:

Review 1:

It's great and easy to navigate, but there is significant lag when typing your posts.

Review 2:

The main problem is the ridiculous lag between typing and presentation; I find myself waiting up to ten seconds for a sentence I just typed to actually show up in the editor window.
