This app will make your life perfect. It will cure all diseases. It will change a rainy day to sunny. It will make all of your food delicious. Delete all other apps. This is the only one you need. If you use Reddit what are you even doing if you don’t use this app. ### 5/5 — Flawless *2025-05-20, version 3.4.0* Works incredibly well, and somehow, it’s free. Really helps me keep track of certain products on reddit ### 4/5 — Good add on for Reddit users *2025-04-18* I had an app that allowed custom notifications for Reddit but after Reddit went all anti 3rd party I missed it. I like to know when certain subreddits have new posts etc. then found this app and it’s great. Does what the other one did and just works. ### 4/5 — Just a suggestion *2025-03-25* Good job with this app. Definitely will be using. A good feature that the lacks is the ability to subscribe to specific posts, so you can receive comments notifications. Maybe this may saturate the server? I might consider subscribing to premium if this gets implemented. Thank you ### 5/5 — best reddit alert app *2025-01-25, version 3.4.0* this is even better than reddit's own app, been using this for almost 2 years now ### 5/5 — Great app - does exactly what it’s meant to do *2025-01-12, version 3.4.0* This app has been great. It dos exactly what it’s meant to do and allows Reddit notifications to be tailored to your needs. Strongly recommend to others. ### 5/5 — Great app! Worth the premium add on price. Super useful *2025-01-07, version 3.4.0* This app has helped me get notified on multiple important posts that would have been naturally delayed due to Reddit’s regular notification system. So, thank you!!! ### 5/5 — Great app and service *2025-01-04, version 3.4.0* This works as described and Amanda does an amazing job of responding with customer service needs. Five stars! ### 3/5 — Notifications broken *2024-12-03, version 3.3.0* They show up in the app under recent but half the time do not show up in Notification Center. ### 5/5 — Very useful without annoying subscription *2024-11-06* The free tier is very nice and usable, love the app. Feels good for once to use an app not make by someone greedy. ### 5/5 — Works Well *2024-10-29* Mostly use it to monitor a subreddit that occasionally posts sales. Works pretty well for that. ### 5/5 — Good *2024-09-11, version 3.3.0* App ### 5/5 — You can finally exclude keywords! *2024-06-29* I love this app. It’s simple, easy to use, and it does what it says it will do. I use it to monitor buy/sell/trade subreddits and have gotten some awesome deals thanks to these alerts. Now that the latest update added the ability to exclude specific words from your search, I can finally give this a solid five stars. Highly recommend it! ### 3/5 — It’s good - but needs better filtering *2024-06-10* Once AND/OR/NOT operations are added it’ll be awesome ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Even Premium Doesn’t Sync With iCloud *2025-10-22, version 3.6.0* I upgraded and traded in my iPhone in store so everything was backed up, then restored when I got home. This app’s data is the only thing I lost in the process. Had I know this prior to purchasing premium I would not have wasted my money. ### 1/5 — Allow Opening Into Browsers *2025-03-03, version 3.4.0* Allow Notifications to open different external browsers, rather than just the default only. ### 1/5 — Not functioning *2024-12-19, version 3.3.0* Notifications are not being sent. This appears to be a common issue. ### 1/5 — Premium Plan?! *2024-11-09, version 3.3.0* Premium Plan is dumb for an app that is meant to provide a feature that the original app should have included, but didn’t. It’s unnecessary. ### 1/5 — Alerts Don’t Work *2024-11-08, version 3.3.0* Never get alerted which is the point of the app. Even for activity that is 2+ hr old. If it worked I might actually pay for it. ### 1/5 — App broken *2024-10-02, version 3.3.0* App broken, doesn’t save settings. Email sent to support but no replies. Wouldn’t recommend. ### 1/5 — App won’t even open *2023-01-18, version 3.0.5* Every time I try to download the app, it gets stuck and says “loading” with the swirling icon and I can’t even use it. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore *2023-01-07, version 3.0.4* App no longer works. ### 1/5 — Doesn't open in Reddit anymore *2022-06-19, version 3.0.4* When I press on notification, it doesn't open in the Reddit app anymore. It opens in the browser. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work in real time and sends random alerts *2022-04-06, version 3.0.4* This app is okay but really doesn’t function as it’s intended to. Notifications don’t come in real time. I am also alerted to random posts that don’t contain keywords that I have set. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Does the job *2026-05-28* Works as it should - happy user ### 5/5 — Did exactly what I wanted *2026-05-12, version 3.7.0* Updates reddit feeds near instantly ### 5/5 — Im impressed *2026-05-10, version 3.7.0* There’s a a lot of value here if you depend on Reddit for stock alerts or any kind of alert really. ### 5/5 — Works as Advertised *2026-03-08, version 3.7.0* Works great for those time sensitive alerts on Reddit. ### 5/5 — Works well *2026-02-06, version 3.7.0* Works well and loving it so far ### 5/5 — Great resource *2026-01-24, version 3.7.0* Love the app, can we get functionality with the Even Realities AI glasses please? ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-11-19, version 3.6.0* Thank you ### 5/5 — Im impressed *2025-10-07, version 3.6.0* There’s a a lot of value here if you depend on Reddit for stock alerts or any kind of alert really. ### 5/5 — Insanely useful for sniping deals in the Swap subreddits *2025-09-20* I’m a perfume fan and primarily use Alerts to look out for new posts of rarer fragrances I want for my collection. Alerts is a godsend for spotting posts of deals before the rest of the herd. It’s also great for keeping track of posts related to my profession, and news about specific people and events. Easy 5 stars. Wouldn’t want to Reddit without it now. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-07-22* Super useful for monitoring when somethings really hot in a sub --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
