### 2/5 — App has recently stopped working

*2026-02-20, version 2.3.2*

Can still lurk but no comments or voting

### 3/5 — Font issue

*2025-08-27*

A simple and cleanly designed app, but unusable for me because the comment threads aren’t legible - there’s some kind of error with the text rendering. I’ve tried playing with the settings but nothing fixes the issue. 
iPhone 16e, iOS 18.6.1

### 2/5 — Makes me miss Apollo even more

*2025-07-11, version 2.3.2*

Buggy - crashes when loading media a lot. Weird text rendering happens frequently requiring restarting the app.  Worst part is can’t fully log in - won’t let me accept or decline access.  Reddit community is private and mods don’t respond.  Not completely useless but not anything I’d pay for.

### 1/5 — Not Working as Advertised

*2025-06-06*

The interface crashes making the experience stiff  and unpleasant

### 1/5 — can’t tap accept

*2025-05-23, version 2.3.2*

in order to allow reddit to provide permissions

### 1/5 — I installed it, but it won't let me connect Comet with Reddit.

*2025-05-13, version 2.3.3*

I signed in successfully, but then it asked for full permissions to be given to Comet to use with Reddit. I clicked on "accept" and nothing happened. I did this multiple times. Nothing worked. I am uninstalling the app. I am running Monterey 12 on a 2016 MacBook Pro.

### 2/5 — Some things just don’t work

*2025-04-19, version 2.3.3*

Running 15.3.2 on a new M4 Mac Mini. Re: Comet v. 2.3.3. I log in (or rather attempt to), and I am presented with a screen that asks permission for Comet to do a whole slew of things re: managing my Reddit account. Understandable, but when I click “Allow”, nothing happens. Nothing. No error, no notification, no nothing.

As I cannot log in to Reddit via Comet, it is completely worthless to me.

I see a lot of potential with the app, but right now all it does is take up space.

### 3/5 — Não consigo fazer login

*2025-04-09, version 2.3.2*

Bom mas não consigo logar

### 2/5 — Login broken

*2025-02-24, version 2.3.2*

Unfortunately after trying to sign in, the Approve and Deny buttons on the in app Safari are broken. Clicking them does nothing. Reddit said I approved it but I’m still not signed in within the app. If I could sign in this would be perfect.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2025-02-22, version 2.3.2*

Comet is now fully broken and doesn’t work anymore, even logged out.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2025-02-14, version 2.3.2*

Literally can't complete a login. I can't select either "Accept" or "Decline" on the terms page after account authentication. And the "Hide All Read" selection doesn't do anything. The grayed out posts are still there.

### 1/5 — No longer sings in

*2025-02-12, version 2.3.2*

Good app until recent issues. No longer able to "accept" permissions when attempting to allow app read write to reddit

### 3/5 — broken?

*2025-02-05, version 2.3.2*

was decent, but seems to be broken now

### 1/5 — 垃圾

*2025-02-05, version 2.3.2*

垃圾

### 2/5 — No Longer Works

*2025-02-02*

For a while was great, now refuses to load posts. Uninstalled and reinstalled and it doesn’t let me accept terms and conditions. My Reddit account still works on my computer. What a shame.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Seems good but actually

*2025-12-02, version 2.3.2*

Could even get past the login screen, some buttons now working and keeps going round in a loop. Can never login. 🙈🙈🙈🙈forget it

### 1/5 — Sign In is Broken

*2025-11-21, version 2.3.2*

Can’t even sign in. Pressing accept or decline doesn’t event do anything.

### 1/5 — Just Doesn’t Work

*2025-10-25, version 2.3.3*

If it doesn’t crash immediately it won’t let me log in.

### 1/5 — Can’t work with Sign in with Apple

*2025-10-06, version 2.3.3*

Can’t work with Sign in with Apple

### 1/5 — Can't even log in

*2025-07-24*

Not sure why but the oauth flow never closes the web view even after hitting Accept to give permissions to the app.

### 1/5 — Jumbled text ,  unusable

*2025-07-10, version 2.3.2*

As title states

### 1/5 — Broken and Abandoned

*2025-06-28*

Can’t even login and the text is all messed up and unreadable.

### 1/5 — dead

*2025-06-13, version 2.3.2*

app is dead. cannot log in

### 1/5 — App is broken

*2025-06-13*

Using iPhone 13 mini with latest iOS. Apps comment text is all jumbled, line spacing broken. Comment section overlays every line of text on top of lower lines, making all text look like cryptic indecipherable writings. Settings and sorting don’t seem to change it. 

Can’t sign into your account anymore- you enter your correct credentials, it takes you to a browser in app for login, but the accept terms button won’t allow you to select it, click it, nothing. Even the decline button doesn’t work. 

Your app WAS the best after Apollo died. Now, it’s just broken and seemingly no longer supported.

### 1/5 — Wish I could use it

*2025-06-10, version 2.3.2*

Nice app, but logging in is broken. Once you get to the “accept or decline” window after entering your credentials neither button does anything so you can’t log in.

### 5/5 — AMAZING!!

*2026-05-20*

Comet is an amazing app for me as currently I have an iPhone 6 with iOS 12. Cannot access reddit however comet made it possible! With workarounds to login and (if you ask me) an amazing UI, 5 stars don’t think this app could improve!! ❤️ Keep doing what your doing devs!

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2025-11-20, version 2.3.2*

Aplicativo excelente mas tenho um problema com a altura das linhas, o texto fica todo em uma linha só, então se o parágrafo tiver mais de uma linha, elas vão ficar todas no mesmo local, acredito que seja algum bug de line-height.

### 5/5 — Log in

*2025-07-21, version 2.3.3*

It won’t let me sign in with google, only via phone number and it always signs me out. And this is a more recent problem. Aside from that I really like the app!

### 5/5 — Not working

*2025-02-07, version 2.3.2*

Hey, I love this app, but it isn’t loading at all. It just says “Nothing Here” on all pages and subreddits. Would you be able to fix it?

I deleted the app and redownloaded. I think that is the fix.

### 5/5 — thank you

*2025-02-02, version 2.3.2*

Thank you for the app.. even though it no longer works it worked a lot longer than I thought it would. Screw Reddit and their ad filled garbage.

### 5/5 — It gone

*2025-01-31, version 2.3.2*

Rip

### 5/5 — Great While It Lasted

*2025-01-31, version 2.3.2*

When they killed Apollo I moved to Comet. Was a solid replacement but alas, they came for this too. Shame, because the Reddit app is ad-filled garbage.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-01-30*

Been using the app for ages, working inspite of other Reddit apps having issues. Recently stopped working, hopefully to be restored soon?

### 5/5 — RIP comet

*2025-01-06, version 2.3.2*

Great app while it lasted 🙏

### 5/5 — Excellent and fast ability to browse

*2024-11-12, version 2.3.2*

Consistently fast and easy to browse for basic users.  Excellent job.
