Please don’t change.

The app is great, and there’s been many great apps. What happens is an update comes after the flow of users. Ads are implemented, or a subscription. To the developers, don’t follow the trend. I’ll gladly donate if you keep to this.

Best app for Rddt. I love it. And i love the developers. And cats. I love cats too. 🤘🏻👍🏼👌🏽👏🏾🤌🏿

Best Reddit alternative

It’s great, wish it had separate font sizes; title, comments. And color sliders for accent colors.

THE app for reddit

im emptying my bank account for lars van houwelingen

Excellent

A content feed and nothing more. What social media should have always been. Works fine for me. Thanks for making this app.

Way better than the Reddit app

I like how it just is Reddit without an account. Also nice to import subreddits. And no ads

Great but needs works, possibly abandoned

I love the idea of this app. No ads, no account and you can browse all you want. Downside is the app is pretty buggy. Pages hang, you have to force close the app to restart, videos open twice, you can’t open links sometimes.

Thanks!!

Its not alien blue, but it’s not bad for what reddit is..

Pretty good, great concept

I deleted my 12 year old Reddit account a while back, got tired of the “karma” and updooting and whatnot. Decided to give this a try, it’s a great concept and I like the ability to not comment and give out votes but this app has some things not great. Like it seems to stop responding if you go to another and come back it it, it won’t scroll or click or anything so you are forced to close it and reopen it. A lot of connection errors where it just shows some string or code. And they search feature

Great for Viewing

Love the app so far. Would love to see the ability to view full sized thumbnails in the near future

Nice way to browse Reddit

No stupid ads, it’s easy enough to stay engaged if you want to comment with all the link options to open in browser. It’s been my replacement for Apollo and way better than using the official app. Highly recommended if you don’t need it for moderating

Perfect!

Our power is out, but thanks to how this app is designed I can keep up with information, without draining my phone battery like crazy. Love it! Thank you!

Reddit is usable again!!!

Miles better than the official app or mobile web!

a+

love the minimalist look and the no-login (apparently?) feature. Just a straight from a spy thriller novel, CIA look to this.

Excellent

If I feel the need to contribute I prefer a computer, so this is precisely what I need for killing time on the go. I have to add that there are some bugs, especially after viewing media. But again, fantastic. I browse quite a bit and haven’t run into the rate limit yet.

Love this

I often catch myself getting involved in something on reddit when it really just doesn’t matter and is a waste of my energy. This app prevents that, you can’t log in to your account so you’re forced to just lurk and enjoy the content. Love the concept and the actual UI is off to a great start—snappy and clean. A little more customization in terms of gestures and layout etc. and this app will be a big hit.

Enjoying it

Great concept and really appreciate the simplified UI design. Since Apollo has gone, my Reddit experience has been pretty meh. This might fix that!

Good start but need to add features

This is a good start to a Reddit app, it’s clean, snappy, pages load fast, etc. just missing the option to log in and comment

Works sometimes

Great premise for the app. Lots of promise. Worked well for first couple of days. Not updating content today. Would be nice if sort by top had options for last hour, today/24 hours. Because it defaults to top for the week without other options.

Reminiscent of BaconReader

I’ve been protesting since June and have deleted all my Reddit browsing apps since BaconReader was effectively shut down after the API changes. I tried switching to other social medias but people are so vile outside of the craft subreddits I frequented. It is so nice to be able to go back and lurk at the subs I loved. My favorite feature so far is how easy it is to minimalize comment threads. It’s how I wish the official app did it. Thank you.

Just a Reddit reader. You can’t sign in.

Needs a lot of work

I try not to leave negative reviews and I like the app concept but wow this needs work. Constantly glitching and requiring a force quit, crazy slow load times, clicking links won’t do anything so you click again and suddenly it’s loading the link multiple times in the same window, and on and on. Errors, glitches, bugs. Not a great user experience. And omg the only way to get “load comments” to actually work is to repeatedly force quit and cross your fingers. Probably deleting this app, it just d

No Tablet Mode :(

I do most of my social media browsing on tablets. Can’t stand this skinny little strip in the middle surrounded by huge wasted blank space.
