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.

doesn’t work

literally just spews a bunch of technical characters instead of giving an actual feed. pretty sure it’s html. refreshing doesn’t fix

Invalid subreddit

I added an invalid subreddit by mistake. This reveals two problems. One, you should trim trailing whitespace from subreddit names the user provides. Two, there should be an obvious way to remove a subreddit that has been added.

Wall of text code

Frequently shxts the bed and displays nothing but a wall of code.

Very good but buggy in recent update

The app is great for lurkers but the Liquid Glass update has made the app experience much worse. Also, watching cross posted videos still opens the link multiple times and hasn’t been fixed after 6+ months. Otherwise it’s a good enough app.

Pretty good, great concept

I deleted my 12 year old Reddit account a while back, got tired of the “karma” and updooting and whatnot. Decided to give this a try, it’s a great concept and I like the ability to not comment and give out votes but this app has some things not great. Like it seems to stop responding if you go to another and come back it it, it won’t scroll or click or anything so you are forced to close it and reopen it. A lot of connection errors where it just shows some string or code. And they search feature is funny, Reddit was never known for having a great search engine so maybe that’s the issue

Buggy

This is the best one if you don't care about commenting/voting

BUT it is very buggy, frequently stops responding to taps in the liquid glass update

Amazing

Truly an amazing piece of software, the best Reddit client on iOS. Please use it, share it and support it!

fatal flaw

seemed like it would be a nice reddit client to use until i found that i could not default comments to old. i mean who says which are best, hot, controversial? the users, of course.

unfortunately, that's not how everyone consumes media. nobody goes to the best movie scene, hottest book chapter. you wouldn't know what's going on if you did.

same with comments. i like to know what is being replied to.

app deleted.

Great reddit app

I like it, much better than official app. I hope you can update to liquid glass in the future and also full screen gesture seems to not work everywhere. If that were to be updated to how it feels in the apple apps on ios 26 that would be great. Thank you dev <3

Thanks!!

Its not alien blue, but it’s not bad for what reddit is..

Great but needs works, possibly abandoned

I love the idea of this app. No ads, no account and you can browse all you want. Downside is the app is pretty buggy. Pages hang, you have to force close the app to restart, videos open twice, you can’t open links sometimes.

Way better than the Reddit app

I like how it just is Reddit without an account. Also nice to import subreddits. And no ads

Decent app for browsing Reddit without an account. Several obnoxious bugs though…

I’ll start off with saying this is probably the best choice of app if you just want to browse Reddit without no ads available right now.

Having said that. There are dozens of bugs and broken features all over the app.

If there’s a one line comment that contains a link, good luck tapping that link without just collapsing the comment thread.

There are some videos that pause every time you try to play them. (Almost exclusively on sports related videos, no idea why)

If you have other media playing (music, podcasts, etc.) if you open a post with a video, your other audio won’t pause while the video is playing, but when you leave the post and go back to your main feed, THEN your other audio will pause. This is very frustrating when you have “keep videos muted” when viewed selected. So many videos have obnoxious music put over the top of them, I’m just trying to look at the video. It is probably going to already have captions on it. Why does it freeze my other audio every time I exit that video???

Don’t say it’s an iOS problem, because this is literally the only app that has that issue.

I have so many other issues, but I can’t think of them at the top of my head. Please reach out if you would like more. And just do better guys.

App is great again in newest update

The last update was really buggy but was quickly fixed and more stable and better than ever.

Used to be good

Was OK now it’s trash. Never loads and features are half baked and never work
