### 2/5 — Needs Update

*2025-11-12, version 7.9.5*

The app occasionally crashes when clicking on photos or goes offline. Needs an update for new iOS

### 3/5 — updating review—

*2024-08-07, version 7.8*

bug got fixed where i couldn’t log into my reddit account, so this went back to being usable. i’m happy with it, but there’s a feature keeping it from being a 5 star app: the reddit gifs don’t play within the app. i don’t know why but in some of the subs i follow, none of the gifs work within the app. 

i tested this with other 3rd party reddit apps and they don’t have the issue, only this one does. overall though other than this, it’s a pretty solid app

### 3/5 — Could be the best Reddit app on iOS

*2024-03-07, version 7.5*

Could be the best Reddit app on iOS except for the LONG UNSKIPPABLE ADS

### 1/5 — Buggy app

*2023-11-17, version 7.3*

Crashes repeatedly, cannot turn off multi column, can’t downvote from thumbnail, hiding comments is a joke! Cannot automatically go to reader mode. The browser icon and reader icon are on top of each other. Latest update broke comment collapse. No single column display making the content difficult to scroll through at a glance and content is crammed into a too small thumbnail to be useful. This along with the crashes are what makes me hate this app the most, the only saving grace is that is it isn’t the reddit app.

### 1/5 — Charging for an open source project

*2023-10-09*

That you ripped off. And a subscription LOL at that.

### 1/5 — Cannot log in

*2023-10-09, version 7.3*

Cannot log in gives. Black screen with no options

### 1/5 — Fix redgif issue and I will subscribe

*2023-10-05, version 7.3*

It’s fixable. Don’t know why he refuses to fix this.

### 1/5 — Somehow has more ads than the official reddit app

*2023-08-22, version 7.3*

This app is a revamp using the now open source code from Slide, however the dev got overly greedy where the app is loaded with overly intrusive popups. App switch? Popup ad. Open five links? Popup ad. I wouldn’t mind paying once for supporting the work but the guy also wants a subscription model to remove ads… Come on man, have some sense.

### 1/5 — should be pulled from app store

*2026-06-05, version 7.9.5*

abandonware. junk. ripoff.

### 1/5 — should be pulled from app store

*2026-01-16, version 7.9.5*

edit: this app is full of ads, even after purchase. again, PURE JUNK.
you listening, timmy?
 according to github, this app was abandoned a year ago. timmy is still allowing it to be peddled, however. unfortunately, it's junk. don't waste your money.

### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2025-12-20*

While browsing photo galleries in posts the app crashes very often. It’s been a month when it’s impossible to log in. The app is getting worse
On Android it works excellent though

### 1/5 — Ads galore

*2025-06-30, version 7.9.5*

Ads ruined it.

### 1/5 — full of ads

*2025-06-23*

Too many ads

### 1/5 — from 5 starts to 1

*2024-05-03*

the login issue is still present and is driving me crazy. 

this went from my favorite reddit app on iOS to now being one i can’t use anymore because i can’t sign in with my account. i can’t really sign in with ANY account…

**Developer response:** fixed now

### 1/5 — Could not log in

*2024-04-11, version 7.5*

I could not log in to Reddit, which makes the app useless. Every time that I tried, I got a message saying “Something went wrong, try again later.” I corresponded with the developer, but he was no help before finally ghosting me.

### 1/5 — Unable to log in

*2023-12-27, version 7.3*

Login window opens, but after logging in, you stay in internal browser pop up. It does not connect your login to the app

### 1/5 — Ugh like Facebook for reddit, but worse

*2023-11-26, version 7.3*

Do you want to see the same ten subs in your feed everyday? Do you want to be inundated with messy illegitimate content? Then this is the app for you. The UI is the worst, image thumbnails are poorly displayed with related text missing. You can’t see your favorite content in a readable style. I finally switched to an older client that neatly displays everything but is missing a lot of features and I am so much happier because of it. I now see content I followed and haven’t seen in months because Focus handles it so badly. Don’t feel bad about deleting this awful app.

### 5/5 — My favorite reddit app

*2025-11-08, version 7.9.5*

It is the only app with tabs and swiping for subreddits

### 5/5 — the best reddit 3-part app

*2024-08-26, version 7.9.2*

i use it on iphone and mac every day.
i love it
can not believe it's free!

### 5/5 — Please add option to open links in MS edge

*2024-08-11, version 7.9*

Great potential, but has some simple flaws that cause great inconvenience It causes problems because I have all my bookmarks and tabs on a different mobile browser. Also, I have this app installed on Mac, and it used to work great, but now it is always stuck in offline mode as of a couple weeks ago or so. Not sure how to fix. I really, really liked having this app on Mac because I could have widget for subreddits on my computer’s background. (Mac/iOS apps have cross compatibility, especially on iPad)

I will update this review if some of these issues are fixed. Thanks.

### 5/5 — the best Reddit app

*2024-08-02*

absolutely

### 5/5 — One of the Best on iPad

*2024-07-19, version 7.6*

I’m not claiming this is a perfect app, there’s much to do, but when it comes to iPad reddit clients, the pickings are thin and this is one of the most modern and smooth experience you can have on iPad. Please continue your work!

### 5/5 — Best app!

*2023-10-12*

Thank you! This is best app for Reddit!!!

### 4/5 — Slide Successor

*2025-03-16, version 7.9.5*

Great job to resurrect Slide.  Some features are missing, understandably. I would love the option from Slide to collapse comments automatically. Keep up the good work.

### 4/5 — Stopped updating a week ago…

*2024-08-26*

Was decent but the last week has seen it fail to update, despite the app being updated itself. Possibly a victim of further Reddit policy?
Updated - back working again, still decent, lot cheaper then the official Reddit app if you want app free plus a lot more customisation options…including allowing you to open the app with newest posts, unlike the crappy Reddit app which forces another opening page on you.

### 4/5 — enjoyed slide

*2024-08-24*

that was excellent

### 3/5 — Gallery issues

*2025-11-16, version 7.9.5*

Opening images in a gallery  causes app to crash
