Pager allows you to create custom alerts for content submitted to Reddit.

### 5/5 — If you are Reddit addict like me, this one is must have!

*2023-05-20*

Browsing Reddit is my daily ritual but sometimes I got drown into a sea of unrelated information. This app helps me reminds when it comes to the subreddits that I care the most. Highly recommend especially when you are chasing deals etc on Reddit.

### 5/5 — Superb App - well designed and works perfectly

*2023-02-06, version 1.0.4*

This is an absolutely 5-star app. It is extremely useful for monitoring sales subreddits and is beautifully designed. Hats off to the creator/s!

### 3/5 — Pretty good

*2023-01-28, version 1.0.3*

It works as expected but doesn’t mark notifications read (inside the notification tab) when I open a notification.

### 5/5 — This app is incredible

*2022-12-08, version 1.0.3*

If you want Reddit notifications, this is hands down the best thing out there. I use this for deal subs on the daily and have been able to snag many items just because I get the immediate notification. 

Easy to setup. Easy to manage. No limits. How do I give this guy money?

### 1/5 — Never notifies me

*2022-12-05, version 1.0.3*

Pager has worked in the past, but it no longer works. I have checked multiple times that I have notifications on for it in Settings in iOS, but I never get any notifications. The only way I see something new with the keywords I selected is if I open the Pager app. What’s the point of that when I can go directly to Reddit myself and search for those words? I’m deleting this and would recommend others to not bother downloading it.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2022-12-02, version 1.0.3*

Great at getting alerts and works excellent so far! 

I’d love a feature to be able to delete alerts in the feed I’ve already seen or don’t want to see anymore

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2022-09-26, version 1.0.3*

I am a movie collector and hate to miss movie giveaways that are first come first serve by like 2 minutes, so I decided to give this a try. Within the past week, I have gotten notifications for giveaways right away and have managed to snag 7 movies! Thanks a lot, Pager!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2022-09-19, version 1.0.3*

App has cooldown and delay so its pointless. Dev will say its to prevent server overload. Doesnt matter. Still useless because of that. Notifications take almost ten minutes to notify me. Wouldve gladly paid for something without all the restrictions.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2022-09-19, version 1.0.3*

There are a few subreddits I like to keep an eye on for new information. This app does a fantastic non-intrusive job and you can beat the price!

### 5/5 — Incredible app does exactly what’s it’s designed to do.

*2022-05-16, version 1.0.3*

Need to learn about Reddit posts quickly? Here’s the app for you.
