Ads

Stop with the forced none skipable ads, whe left the official app because of ads and you are forcing unskiable one while key logging our Reddit passwords? You got to be crazy.

Not worth it.

Fullscreen ads quietly added.

Uninstalled.

Needs A lot

Still needs basic functions like swipe to go back and auto play gifs/ videos

Great app

Needs a few more features such as top comments jump and hide read other than that it’s awesome

Good start

Looks like if posts are tagged with spoiler are blurred, thank you. Now it would be nice if your subreddit you favorite get saved cause to don’t if you refresh. Also would be nice to get letters on the side to quickly get to a subreddit

Can’t even log in

So what’s the point of this

Was ok, now bad

Unskippable full screen ads frequently. Favorite subs get unsaved. Sketchy dev

I used to like this app

But full-screen intrusive ads are too much

Obnoxious ads

Opened the app and was presented with a long video ad with extremely loud sound. Fastest uninstall of my life.

Should be banned

This app violates Reddit’s TOS and the developer and his subreddit have both been banned by Reddit. This app should be banned from the App Store as well.

Pretty great but some bugs

- Upvoting/downvoting posts doesnt seem to be working on all posts

Favorites disappear and some videos don’t work

Favorite subs don’t sync, and manually star’ed fav subs simply vanish without reason. Many video posts also will not play.

Against TOS

This app goes against Reddits TOS, and because of that this app wont last long. Ads are super intrusive here and the main concern is the login screen. The login doesn't use the standard Reddit login, but a custom one instead. Cant trust this app due to that.

Successor to Apollo

Fantastic start, already enough to be the only way i view reddit.

Was good

The app was good and reminded me a lot of Apollo. I’ve used it for a few weeks and loved it even though it wasn’t perfect.

Now all of a sudden today I’m getting full screen mobile game ads like some scummy F2P title when opening a subreddit. Yeah, not thanks.

I’ve deleted the app and gone back to Sink It for Reddit

Is this app even safe to use?

When logging into your account. It doesn’t even go through Reddit’s request page. So you’re giving your account information to a 3rd party source that can easily store it for later. Even having 2FA doesn’t protect you. Usually when signing into a third party app it’s still listed on your account page under app permissions but this one doesn’t show up at all. Would not install until this gets addressed.

It’s ok

It is still missing a ton of features, like actually hiding spoilers, scrubbing video, and proper comment collapsing (without the collapsed feed going straight to the top of the screen). It feels pretty clunky to navigate through.

Otherwise it works decently enough. Sometimes posts you’ve already scrolled through reappear constantly while scrolling, but after passing it enough times eventually you’ll get a new one sprinkled in.

Biggest concern is that the dev claims they are not using an API which could have ramifications by either violating TOS, or being a web wrapper that has limitations that would prevent further growth.

I’d consider donating to the project once there’s more clarity on the sustainability of the application.

Sincerely one of the worst apps I have ever used

Please use literally anything else

Good start, but

The premium option can’t be purchased for me. If I press subscribe nothing happens.

Support for 2FA?

I use 2FA on my account and I can’t figure out how to login with it.

Response from developer

2FA is supported in this version. Please let me know what issue you're experiencing exactly via contact@openredinc.com or the app's subreddit r/openred.
