Almost perfect

Thanks Dev for this excellent app, clean and functional.
Only gripe is, on iPad the app displays content in split view.
Is there no way to disable the right preview pane?!?
Also would it be possible to swipe to go to next post while in full screen (just like default Reddit app)?

Response from developer

These are some good points, I’ll change follow system dark mode to be on and auto turn on show vote buttons. Makes sense, didn’t think about the low discoverability of swipe actions on comments. Thanks!

Decent

Way too much padding around images and videos with the media previews. Upvote percentage is hidden away in a nested menu while other apps show it once you enter a post. Seemingly no autoplay. Can’t change flairs. Can’t see flair icons.

Great app, but crashes on replies

Probably my favourite Reddit app, however when someone replies to me, it will do a hard crash. Unsure why, probably an exception not being caught somewhere…

Everything is great and I love the simple interface

My only wish is that it's updated again some time in the future

Best Reddit Client!

Does what I was looking for but now no DMs?

I’m trying to take a social media break but want to remain in one of the many “secret communities “ on Reddit so I went looking for the ability to only see that small group when I look at Reddit (active participation is required to stay). Works awesome for that but now I can’t receive chats? I see it in my comet settings but not on my home page. A tutorial for the app would be helpful.

Very crashy on iphone 13

It supports multiple accounts on the free version and the layout and video player are smoother/better looking than most other Reddit clients.

It’s super buggy and crashes often tho. Unfortunately videos seem to be the biggest problem, and since the Main Reddit mobile app ruined the video player that’s the main thing I want an alternative for.

When using the app for periods of time my phone will heat up and slow down. Sometimes the app just quits out to the Home Screen, sometimes it makes the screen flicker and freeze up the phone for a bit.

Outside of the crashing I’d say it’s the best iOS Reddit client I’ve seen yet so if it’s just an iOS issue or just an issue with apples new chipset I’d otherwise recommend it.

Good but weird issue with Twitter links

As in... they never work.

Needs an update

So many things don’t function or function poorly. I have used it for a while and can’t tell if this is related to the app or to reddit hamstringing features intentionally. Videos don’t play, some threads cannot be continued, chats are not included and don’t give alerts when there is a new one, recently it has not been updating notifications on comments. It was a solid app, but has become frustrating to use.

Decent basic Reddit reader

For basic content the app is not bad. For long term use it is not recommended due to its persistent inability to properly display videos and gifs. Its a little crashy and slow to load images as well.

Good for reading text though.
