My issues with Octal are that it doesn’t show my reply immediately after posting and worse: it always throws an error when I edit my replies even though the edit worked in the background. It also collapses double spacing on edit sometimes.

It’s a pretty bad app unless you’re just reading. I assume the developer never touched it again after deploying it which wouldn’t be an issue if you didn’t have to pay to unlock comment writing (its worst implemented feature).

I completely agree with you. I think you hit the nail on the head, it’s good for reading and not much more. The UI is pretty good but the UX leaves a lot to be desired.
