This isn’t free to use.
Still has issues
I liked Narwhal and I would have kept it but, there were issues that after having it for many months still haven't been fixed. If I saved any posts to go back to later they wouldn't show up, if I tried doing a search inside a subreddit nothing would show up...but it did in the official app. There's quite a few things that still need to be worked on before I'll consider paying for it again, sorry to say.

Kept nagging me for a rating so here you go.
A paid app should let you get to it it without the hassle of nagging reminders.
Paid app
Hopefully I saved you some time.
I can see!
The only thing I hate is that I have to use the official app on my Android tablet. Kudos this developer that replaced Apollo one.
Bait and switch
Might as well just pay for reddit premium now since you have to subscribe to this clone anyway. Who would pay for this over the actual app they are using?
Borderline scam
Brilliant first impressions, devs.
1) Open the app -> subscription required, free 7-day trial on the next screen. Except there’s no trial, only option are to pay monthly or yearly right away.
2) Get into the app after paying, immediately see an ad. Ad-free forever, indeed.
3) Try to log into my account, “Log in with Google” button cannot be interacted with.
Safe to say I will be disputing the one-month charge.

Favorites keeps getting erased
Ever since the iOS 27 update, Favorites keeps getting erased. Re-did it yesterday, and it force closed and when I reopened the app, they were gone. Tried 3 times again today, every time the app reloads (which is annoying by the way to have it reload every time you leave the app) the Favorites is gone. This is happening even with the newest Narwhal update today. Hope it gets fixed, the Favorites thing and the constant reloading of the app when you even leave for a second.
Update: Thank you for responding, and yes, you’re right, I wasn’t being fair. It’s just that when you pay for an app monthly, during these times, it feels a little more inconvenient. Appreciate you being a professional, and taking time to respond quickly. I will edit my score. Thank you again for understanding!

Best app for reddit
Favourite subreddits would disappear constantly after updating to ios 27, developer was very prompt and responsive. Issue resolved. Highly recommend it to anyone. Honestly the best app for reddit users 🙂
Save your money
Not even free, worse than the official app if you do pay. Try something else
Not free
If you are going to charge to use…be up front about it.

Media from comments are displayed as links by default
I'm hoping there's an option to turn this off, as it's very irritating having to click an extra time whenever someone posts an image in the comments, but so far I've looked through the whole settings page and nothing seems to be there.
Other than that, the gesture customisations are missing reply to post, meaning you have to click the three dots or the reply button instead of being able to swipe

Very Short Trial period, No longer works without an account
The app is fairly useless and a worse experience than the official reddit app. Not worth 4$ a month to not get ads. The UI is less intuitive.
Monthly Subscription Required
Big nah, Chief. I ain’t paying for reddit.
Slightly better than the official app
Probably the best option on iOS, but still not amazing.
Better than the official app for seeing posts that are actually current instead of ones that are days old but have been elevated by Reddit’s algorithm.
No ads, which is great.
Still no support for pictures in comments. Also no push notifications for messages. Both of which are available on Android apps so it is possible even with Reddit’s third-party API restrictions.
Perfectly fine app if you just want to browse, but I’d want an app that could actually replace the official app. Sadly, this one ain’t it.

Not Free
You’re immediately prompted to subscribe to monthly payments, otherwise you can’t use the app.
Downloaded for nothing
It should have more clearly stated that there’s a mandatory subscription instead of downloading to find out
you MUST pay for using
Free until 5th slide, then there’s no option to use it if you don’t pay ANOTHER subscription pro
The BEST way to access Reddit
I’ve been using Narwhal for just about as long as it’s been available. It’s always been a superior Reddit interface. It’s highly customizable and NO ads. The Reddit app is unusable now because of how locked down it is. They spoon feed you everything and so many ads! None of that here. Because Reddit charges for API calls, you have to pay a subscription but it is 100% the most worthwhile subscription I pay for. The dev team is responsive and truly wants to make the best user experience possible. Not only is it a great way to access Reddit but is also truly one of the best designed independent iOS apps.
