### 3/5 — Good start

*2025-01-04, version 1.0.4*

A good start, but needs auto play of video/gifs to make it viable

### 4/5 — Quite good but some suggestions

*2024-07-07*

I really like the UI of OpenArtemis, it’s clean and simple (unlike Reddit, in my opinion). However, I wish these things were in the app:

1.) Be able to search posts labeled as controversial by day, week, month, year, all just as top posts (since you can do that on Reddit too)

2.) Be able to search posts within a subreddit with a specific flair

### 5/5 — Fantastic option for browsing Reddit in the post-3rd-party-app era.

*2024-06-29*

After losing Apollo, this is definitely the next-best thing. It has tons of customization options and a really beautiful interface. It absolutely destroys the actual Reddit app in terms of UX AND UI, plus it runs a lot smoother and things load relatively quickly. One of the best options for browsing Reddit!

### 5/5 — Pretty good

*2024-06-15*

Works really well, my only wish is that they would bring the layout from their other Reddit app to this one. This one feels cramped a bit to me. But other than that it is a great app

**Developer response:** Hey, thanks for your feedback. A UI update is coming soon which introduces more padding, among other tweaks.

### 4/5 — Pretty great

*2024-06-04, version 1.0.2*

This is almost on par with Apollo, it just needs to add native gif and video playback. A great app though.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2024-05-19, version 1.0.2*

As a frequent lurker of Reddit, this is my go to app for browsing Reddit.

### 5/5 — Cool App

*2024-04-30*

Works well as it is, and with some bug squash and more ui adjustment options this could become 😎👌🏽

### 5/5 — Great app for lurkers!

*2024-04-17*

Great for casual browsing of Reddit that’s nice and fast with a great UI like Apollo.

### 4/5 — Good start

*2024-04-10*

A good start, but needs auto play of video/gifs to make it viable
