Perfection

It’s perfect!!!!! Still works great 10/28/26

reddit ruined it

forced you to log in now. defeated my purpose of use: to browse reddit without signin. useless now, not devs fault likely, but useless.

Unfortunate that Reddit requires login now, but still better than official.

This is a great app that I’ve been using to browse Reddit for a few months. It broke a week or two ago, and now I see it has been updated to require a Reddit account to view posts. I understand this is not the developer’s decision but rather Reddit’s.

At least the UI’s still cleaner than the official app, and without as much data collection on the app side itself.

App doesn’t work

Please fix this is greatest app ever

Great Reddit Alternative

Unfortunately this app no longer works - Reddit appears to be blocking it, sadly. Was such a great solution for my doom scrolling, I hope it gets fixed soon.

Loading…

Not working. Not using vpn. Reddit normal work s

Great App

Would love it if I could hide specific subreddits, but aside from that it’s fantastic. That being said, it seems like Reddit is now blocking it, which is unfortunate. I guess yandex bots are good, but anonymous people are bad.

Perfection

It’s perfect!!!!!

Was great until recently

The app was great until the last few days. Can’t recommend due to not even loading up Reddit. Shame that it just stopped working

No longer loading

Is it just me or does the app no longer load?

Blocked by reddit

No longer working, gives timeout and api errors

Not working suddenly

Was working well and now getting messages that Reddit is taking too long to respond. Nothing is able to load at all.

Seems Reddit has caught on

I was loving Argus the last few months. After RDX shut down, this became my go to lurker client. Now everytime I try to access my feed, I get a reddit blocked error. No VPN should be no issue. I can only assume Reddit found out, and is blocking the dev’s API access. I will look to see if it will correct, and I’ll change my review then, but sadly Reddit may just be done.

Love this app!

Can you please add the ability to share a post as a screenshot, and the ability to share a comment as a screenshot with the option to include the post with it.

Love this app!

I love using this as a replacement for the official Reddit app. Props to the dev! Feature suggestions: (1) other app icons, (2) more customization of the Subreddit page/view, so that Quick Links and MultiReddits can be hidden, for example, and (3) the ability to search post comments.

PERFECT

This is exactly what I needed!

I have a few bookmarks on my phone that take me to a few subreddits that I want to see and NOT comment on and Reddit has made it increasingly hard to do that, constantly pushing their terrible default Reddit app pushing me to make an account.

This app lets me follow whatever subreddits I want. Apparently, I can even make multireddits. There is an option to turn off comments if you’re prone to doomscrolling comment sections. There is an option to mute users, SOURCES, and keywords. All of this without signing up for ANYTHING.

I would recommend this to anyone that likes using Reddit for information, but want to keep their info private and/or avoid getting bogged down in comment sections.

THANK YOU to the person/people who made this app. ❤️

Awesome!

Great app! A very worthy Apollo successor and no login required. Only bug I’ve found is that for posts with both media and text, it only shows the media and no text, leaving out crucial context of the post. Hope that can get fixed soon!

Great Reddit Alternative

I need Reddit with guardrails, as I get easily pulled into other subs and end up doom scrolling. I decided before deleting Reddit altogether I would explore alternatives.

This is a great alternative and I was able to tailor my subs to exactly what I want to see with no distractions. I think it has a lot of potential and I appreciate the additional consideration of keeping my data private - a rarity these days!

Just a couple of suggestions to make it more perfect- please add settings to prevent videos from auto-playing. I rarely watch videos and they auto play full blast.

Also I recommend not having subs pre-selected at installation - I had to go through and find all of them and uncheck them which wasn’t a great experience.

I’ll keep using this and scroll past videos for now but hopefully that gets updated soon!

Response from developer

Thanks for the kind words. FYI there is an autoplay option under the settings menu!

Nearly Perfect

This app is quite literally the best, minus for viewing media and a few tiny QoL issues. See here:

- When viewing a video, you’re unable to easily swipe to the next post in the feed; Reddit recently fixed this and broke it again. When watching multiple sources and takes on things that are complex like the financial markets, geopolitical stuff, etc, this is an awful pain in the bottom.

- If the video is an embed or from a non-prohibited external source, instead of being able to play via the embed, you click play and it takes you to the source site. There are many hosts that embed directly in to the official reddit app.

It’s easily a 5 star app from me, but that needs to be fixed. It would ideally be nice to be able to search keywords and scroll posts from multiple subreddits though. The “multireddit” feature fully makes up for it though, but of course it only supports subs you add specifically.

Good job dev. Keep it up. Would love to see these fixes, as I don’t even have the actual Reddit app installed anymore and prefer this one by miles.

EDIT: Saw someone else mention the ability to toggle a setting to hide “seen” posts. That would indeed be really nice. Should be easy to exclude certain posts, and always see the toggle on/off or at least be able to select a “hidden posts” tab at the top of each sub, or something.

Also, autoplay would be cool assuming you implement proper media controls and allow for scrolling post to post with the media selected and playing.

Finally, a robust “favorites/reading list/bookmark” implementation would be supreme.

good

Just needs the ability to search within a subreddit.
