• Latest release page: https://github.com/X2premium/squawkkers-public/releases/latest
• Latest universal APK: https://github.com/X2premium/squawkkers-public/releases/latest/download/squawkkers-universal.apk
• Current app version: 3.8.9 (build 52)

Compared to the original Fritter/Quacker baseline, this fork includes:

• Full Android UI refresh with a modern Material 3 design language (updated typography, spacing, cards, and surfaces)
• Theme readability fixes across screens (removed hardcoded white text and low-contrast UI states)
• Improved tweet card and menu styling for consistent dark/light contrast
• Video/media download reliability fixes (options-sheet context fix, HTTP fallback headers, and save dialog fallback when storage permission is denied)
• Subscription import improvements (supports @username, profile URLs, and safer comma-separated parsing with lookup fallback)
• Subscription refresh stability improvements (graceful handling when user lookup endpoints fail)
• Thread parsing fixes for home timeline chains and reply handling correctness
• Rate-limit handling fixes in account selection/recovery flows
• X account header flow fixes (consistent auth header usage on requests)
• Safer network behavior for transaction-id provider calls (HTTPS + app HTTP client path)
• Sensitive logging cleanup (removed auth header/token leak prints)
• Profile credential storage hardening with backward-compatible password encryption at rest
• Translation cache read-path fix to avoid unnecessary repeat network calls
• Update-check version comparison fix (semantic version-aware instead of lexicographic string compare)
• Swipe physics tuning to prevent non-stop/looping horizontal slide behavior
• Android package migration to com.x2premium.squawkkers and updated launcher icon colors/assets
• About screen and update-check links updated to this repository (X2premium/squawkkers-public)
• Profile bio text readability fix in light mode (removed white-on-light description rendering)
• Profile tab behavior fixes for Tweets / Tweets & Replies / Media routing and state isolation
• Profile header/tab overlap fix (tab labels no longer merge into profile bio/metadata)
• Media timeline parsing hardening for additional X timeline entry formats
• Replies timeline fallback improvements when upstream query shapes vary
• Saved tab duplication-loop fix (no infinite repeated saved tweets while scrolling)
• Retry callback fixes on profile/saved tab error states

• Privacy: No tracking, with all data local
• No ads: Not clogged by multiple ads
• Feed: View all your subscriptions in a chronological feed
