App version

7.1.1

Where did you get the app from

Other

Android version

14

Device model

Pixel 5

First occurred

No response

Steps to reproduce

1. Download newest release atm (1.7.7) from GitHub
2. Install App
3. Get the info that you have to log in via patreon
4. "Log in with Google" button is greyed out/disabled

Example post, link, markdown...

I figure the log-in screen for patreon is only a redirection thing used during the auth process, so not technically handled by the infinity app.
However the internal browser used to display the auth screen seems to be the issue.

The google login option being disabled when trying to login on patreon has been an issue for quite some time. Usually that happened because some necessary cookies were blocked by the browser.

Expected behaviour

To be able to login via google

Current behaviour

Option is disabled

It's because the login page is shown inside a webview.

@Docile-Alligator I've just been informed of the Patreon requirement, so I marked it in NonFreeDep. Is it true the app now also requires a paid subscription? That would make another anti-feature necessary (NonFreeAdd or NonFreeDep, or both – as the app can no longer be used "freely"). Guess that was the reason why Infinity was removed from F-Droid? Looks like I need to consider the same for IzzyOnDroid: an app that requires payment to access a non-free network is quite border-line, even if the source is under a free license.

[IzzySoft]

PS: there is no fitting anti-feature for this. And the app description is misleading here:

It is completely free and ad-less

This contradicts the requirement of a paid subscription. What way out of this dilemma do you see, other than removing the app from IzzyOnDroid?

[Docile-Alligator]

@IzzySoft The app allows anonymous browsing for free. A subscription is only required when users login. I think I should change it to partially free?

[IzzySoft]

Yes, I agree. But then better mention that in that context. The current phrasing gives the impression it is… well, "completely free" 😉 Which is why I was reached out to.

It is completely free and ad-less; you can browse Reddit without interruptions or distractions (a paid subscription is only required when you want to login)

or something alike, maybe?
