### 3/5 — No longer working on Iphone, only on Mac

*2026-07-09, version 1.5.2*

Sad.

### 1/5 — Nothing loads

*2026-06-08*

I’m trying out new Reddit apps and this one doesn’t load anything at all. Claims it’s unable to load content for three potential reasons that aren’t possible.

### 1/5 — Can’t load content!

*2026-06-02, version 1.5.2*

Just downloaded the app and received this message on the first screen in the app. No vpn, I have internet access.

### 5/5 — It was fun while it lasted

*2026-05-30*

Reddit just pushed out an update that no longer allows unauthenticated api use. Not sure how you’d be able to get around that one! But I just wanted to say I enjoyed the app while it worked.

### 2/5 — Issue

*2026-05-29*

The search for subreddits no longer works, can’t search anything.

### 3/5 — Possible glitch

*2026-05-29*

I’m unable to look up other subreddits as I type them in the search bar. Wasn’t sure if it’s a problem on Reddit’s end or through rdx.

### 1/5 — I used this to access r/all

*2026-05-29, version 1.5.2*

You can’t access r/all at all anymore

### 3/5 — It’s fine I guess

*2026-02-15*

It’s nice not being entirely connected to karma and all the notifications but can anyone explain to me why they allow you to download videos but they won’t include sound? Just don’t include it at all. Would you go to see a movie without sound? Me neither.

### 1/5 — No way to save subreddit

*2026-02-10, version 1.5.2*

Outside of importing, no way to save any subreddits

### 2/5 — really? not allowed to use a vpn?

*2025-12-31, version 1.5.2*

why?
