Decent app, logging in doesn’t work.
I can’t log into the app with my Reddit account, so I can’t get personalized feeds or any permissions, app works well otherwise.
Beautifully simple and smooth but...
The Ui is so smooth and simple and looks so good however some thing I wish the app had are: 1) the option to toggle auto play for videos and gifs so you don’t have to click a post to watch the video or get redirected to an external site, 2) subreddit heading so I know what subreddit the post is from at a glance. 3) full image cards, again so you can just scroll through content. 4) hide read posts on scroll.
Other than that,this client has so much potential.
Update: several months later. It seems development has stopped.
Update: year later. Nothing

Awesome app, but two problems :(
I love this app. It’s buttery smooth, smartly designed, and most of all it lets me take a short dip into comments without getting lost in all of reddit. It’s definitely my favorite reddit app by far!
But about a year ago I stopped using it because of two problems. And unfortunately they still exist.
1: sometimes when trying to swipe down to exit a preview, it just. Doesn’t? The image just bounces back up and you have to use the “x” button instead. Not a huge deal, but it does break the flow that makes this app so awesome.
2: and then here’s the deal breaker. About half the posts that are gifs are in horrible quality. You can see the preview which looks decent, and you can open the post in other reddit apps and have the quality you expect. But when you open it through Burst you would swear you just opened a 240p YouTube video (sometimes worse)
That alone is the reason I can’t keep using this app. If it was just a low quality post that would be one thing, but when multiple other reddit apps show it in perfect quality, it’s a whole other issue.
So for now I’ll be switching back to the official reddit app. But I’ll be keeping an eye on Burst in hopes of some fixes rolling out! Easy 5 star if that happens!

Sleek and intuitive reddit app
Really satisfied with Burst. Would be even better with cards that fit the height of the image instead of a fixed height.
Good, but needs more options
This app is beautiful. I love the UI in every way. But I have a couple complaints. I want to turn off the repost merging functionality as well as add what sub the post is from in the feed. If those two things were added, this would be my 100% daily reddit driver.
Looks great, but...
First things first, this app looks amazing. The UI matches Apple’s look seamlessly. The font, colors, and edges/curves have that beautiful apple aesthetic.
There are a few complaints here though.
1. Force touch is pretty buggy.
2. Videos, GIFs, and even pictures load much slower than something like Apollo or even the official Reddit app.
3. The app needs to allow us to save pictures via long press.
4. The app needs the ability to change what browser links and videos open in, say like Chrome and the YouTube app.
5. The app needs a way to quickly change the night and dark themes like the Apollo app has “quick change”
6. There needs to be a feature for multiple accounts.
7. Just another thought, but the app icon is not very distinguishable as Reddit, or a Reddit app. Maybe something as simple a the Reddit alien on the top of the blue rings would suffice to help this app noticeably be “Reddit”
Honestly I think the developers need to look at their main competitor, Apollo, and try to implement several of the intuitive features there into their app and it would be perfect. I will still use this over Apollo, because I find the bubble system for comments a much easier way to follow the conversation, and because the overall app UI and theme matches the Apple UI to a dime.

Excellent
If this app had full-size cards like narwhal or the official app and you could enable auto play of stuff like gifs, it would be my default app hands down. Easily the most attractive reddit app I have used.
For me, the way the comments work is perfect. Not only do I get the ‘bubble burst’ thing going, but it seems to cut down on a little of the rabbit hole-esque memery that the comments always revolve into after one or 2 levels of comments.

Buggy
I really like the interface but the app needs work. Audio from videos continues to play after leaving the built in viewer. The app begins to lag the further down the rabbit hole you go, which can cause multiple instances of images opening—which each have to be individually closed. If comment threads are long, the furthest down posts do not load.
The concept and design are both fantastic, but it needs work.

Great Start for this App
i’ve used several reddit apps and i love the UI of this app the best; very intuitive and smooth. lots of great potential here.
however, i do have 2 criticisms.
2) the image viewer does need a little work in my opinion. certain images from imgur come through as low res and becomes illegible.
3) after purchasing remove ad option, removing the purchase button itself would be ideal.
keep up the great work, Alex! i really think you have something here.

3D Touch
Force Touch is the name of the technology for trackpads on the recent versions of MacBooks. On iPhones it's called 3D Touch, which isn't really the same thing (the screen can be pressed down, or at least feels like it can be pressed down).
You can't download pictures
Nobody wants to open up safari to just to save pictures. Needs to have an option to save pictures from preview
Beautiful application, one issue.
Beautiful app, but am not seeing post images, even while not in compact view. If this worked it’d make browsing way better. Not sure why it’s not.
Good app needs updates
I like how they integrated the force tough but, swiping seems to be pretty left out. Having to press an "X" to get out of the comment is a little unintuitive. I also feel like there needs to be a constant search bar. Having to scroll all the way back up to the top for that is a little annoying.
Wow
Amazing design, amazing concept, incredible application.
A truly unique (and excellent) Reddit app for iOS
As someone with both an Android and iOS phone I have always lamented the lack of truly good reddit apps on iOS, with their own style and flow that just fit the OS. That is no longer the case. This reddit client is minimal, unique, smart, and just a joy to use. I love it.
I really love the concept Alex, and it’s an incredibly well done app. Keep up the good work. :)
My only suggestion is instead of showing tags on the title cards put the subreddit the post is from there instead. Some subreddits I sub to are very similar and without context the posts can be kind of confusing? Otherwise. Incredible start. Can’t wait to see where this goes.

If it works it’s going straight to the top
Thank you, hope you get a design award some day.
Phone running hot when app is running
The ui is pretty, has some major usability issues. But, my gripe is the iphone 7 is running considerably hot when the app is running.
Probably optimization issues as it is new. I will see a few days if an update will fix this.
A tip to devs: If you want the “hot new top” categories as tabs make them as tabs not as swipy things.

Dear
The Buttons on the bottom of the screen aren’t centered man
Love the design
I really do, even how I navigate through comments, but this is reddit, I need to be able to hide the posts I've passed through and auto playing GIFs, otherwise the experience is very depressing
It’s not bad, just needs some more buffs
I like Burst, it’s the best Reddit viewer I’ve had so far. My only real complaints are I can’t see cake days, gifs don’t play automatically and that subreddits are only in compact mode. Other than that, the app has an amazing feel and look and I look forward to future updates
