What's New in lurkur for reddit

1.12.0

August 14, 2026

Hi all, it's been a while. This has been in the works for a while but due to time constrains it took a lot longer. As most have already experienced, reddit has been blocking more and more request & hopefully this update mitigates a few but unfortunately not all are fixable. I am continuing to look for solutions, keep track on the subreddit for status updates. Features: ------------ iPad Split View — Full support for multitasking and Split View on iPad. Peek & Share — Peek into posts and share posts/comments as images. Subreddit expansion — Added wiki, rules, and sidebar/info screens for subreddits. Theme presets — New preset theme options to quickly customize your look. Better link handling — Comment links now open in-app; improved link display in markdown. Haptic feedback — Added haptics to gallery scrolling and more interactions throughout the app. Search improvements — Load more results when searching users and subreddits. Bug Fixes ------------ - Reddit 403 errors now clearly indicate when you've been blocked by network security, with a link to Reddit status. - Fixed laggy posts list and various performance improvements. - GIFs now play as video instead of static images. - Fixed videos not respecting autoplay/mute settings. - Fixed card videos not pausing correctly when scrolling off-screen. - Improved gallery image loading and switched to PagerView for smoother swiping. - Fixed splash screen background sync issues. - Removed back button titles for cleaner navigation. - Various other under the hood fixes.

Just a bunch of html text

It show’s not but a broken page of html text or something. Almost looks like it’s trying to show some kind of error but I’ll never know.

Sounds glitch constantly

Can’t watch any videos with the sound on because it’s automatically muted. And when I try to turn it up, it mutes itself again.

Broken

Just shows HTML upon opening the app. Doesn’t show any content.

Does not work

Thinks I'm using a VPN when I'm not.

Fresh install, too.

Now uninstalled.

Non-functional

Doesn’t work at all. Nothing renders.
