User reviews

Pretty good

This is definitely better than the awful official reddit app, but recent changes have made videos restart when going full screen and they take forever to load, which is pretty annoying. Stuff also sometimes is slow to load in general, but perhaps that’s Reddit’s API? Overall recommend

Very good Reddit client

It’s a good Reddit client with cool features like gallery mode. Loading the feed however is a little on the slower side and saved videos don’t have audio.

Elegant and always improving

Nothing out there compares to the simplicity and elegance Hydra offers. It feels natively Apple. The dev team is actively involved in making this the premier Reddit experience with frequent updates. Love it!

Still Missing Some Features

The app is basically good, and can be configured to act a lot like Apollo did back in its prime. The one glaring omission is that you still can’t set videos/GIFs to play muted by default. You have to manage the volume on your device, rather than just allowing audio when something that requires it comes along. It’s very clumsy and disruptive for an app that is otherwise a pretty decent browsing experience.
