Wasn’t sure if it’s a problem on Reddit’s end or through rdx. ### 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. ### 3/5 — The best way to use reddit *2025-10-26, version 1.5.2* I love everything about this app. ### 3/5 — Absolutely love the concept. *2025-10-19* I’ll love the app once ive had plenty of time to settle in. ### 3/5 — No age ID solution *2025-08-01* When searching ln rdx, most things don’t show up as they’re deemed NSFW. There should at least be a button which gives you the option to see the content. **Developer response:** Hey, thanks for trying the app out. What do you mean don’t show up? They should be showing up as blurred with a click to see this content button under them. Or you can go to settings > content > enable blur and disable that button. ### 3/5 — Good, but links? *2025-05-24* Why doesn’t it open links in my default browser? **Developer response:** What kinda links, it opens then links in the safari view controller by default, if you want to open them in the browser app just click the little safari icon. ### 2/5 — Just a Reddit reader. *2025-02-06, version 1.5.2* Just a Reddit reader. You can’t sign in. ### 2/5 — Love the app overall, several bugs to work out yet it seems. *2024-12-27* Was a long time user of Apollo user and this has been a good alternative since it went under. Two large bugs I keep hitting lately have me looking for another app currently though until fixed. 1. Scroll down for 20 topics and the hits a message saying “Can’t load content! Refresh the page or try again later.” Under that it says “loading more posts” but it never does. It’s just stuck. Never used to happen, now non stop in all subreddits. 2. Before the bug above popped up, quite often I would get 20 topics and then when it loaded 20 more, I would get the exact same 20 repeated. Then I would have to keep scrolling to get 20 fresh. Topics has been an ongoing bug ever since I started using this app while annoying, I suppose that bug was better than stopping the ability to load any content at all after 20 topics. It would happen repeatedly, even when scrolling down a long way, you would get repeats, but never more than once in a row. So 20, same 20, 20 new, 20 new 20 new, 20 same, 20 new… and on and on. ### 4/5 — Is there no way to view subreddit sidebar? *2024-12-13, version 1.5.2* Title says it all. ### 5/5 — Hero *2024-12-11* This developer is a literal hero. This app is the only thing that makes Reddit usable again. Thank you and keep up the good work! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for you review ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 ### 1/5 — No way to save subreddit *2026-02-10, version 1.5.2* Outside of importing, no way to save any subreddits ### 1/5 — Not a good app *2025-12-08* Nah. Simple but not good. **Developer response:** Thanks for the review, can you explain what it's lacking so I can address the issue in the future updates. ### 1/5 — No point *2025-01-16* Reddit apps are only valid for lefties with no sense whatsoever as my first readings were rife with comments by msm-tainted entities bashing anything conservative. Not one considered the probability of honest caution in the responses to loaded Democrat questions. Today’s climate clearly pits liberals against conservatives likely for entertainment only. **Developer response:** Hi FeetofGod, Thank you for sharing your feedback. I strive to create an app that provides everyone with a smooth and personalized Reddit experience, regardless of their political views. The app itself doesn’t filter or curate content—it displays posts and comments as they are on Reddit, based on the subreddits and topics you follow. If you feel the content doesn’t reflect your interests, I recommend customizing your feed by subscribing to communities that align with your preferences. Please let me know if you’d like help with this or have suggestions for improving your experience. ### 1/5 — Badgers you for “donations” *2024-10-30, version 1.5* Either the app is free or it’s not. Having a pop-up interrupt what I’m doing to ask OVER and OVER for donations isn’t appropriate. ### 2/5 — Issue *2026-05-29* The search for subreddits no longer works, can’t search anything. ### 2/5 — really? not allowed to use a vpn? *2025-12-31, version 1.5.2* why? ### 2/5 — At least we have an alternative *2025-02-19* Simple app for browsing, but No in-app photo download button, video with no sound like the official app **Developer response:** You can click the share button on any opened photo and choose the save photo option from the menu that pops up. All reddit hosted videos have sound however some external ones don't but you cal always click the little safari icon and enjoy them with sound. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Great for digital minimalism *2025-12-10* I love the customizations and the fact that it is very minimal a clutter free! **Developer response:** Thanks for the lovely review. ### 5/5 — Efficient, Elegant and Minimal. *2025-10-19* Absolute bomb. However, I do have a request, may sound absurd but saying it anyway. Could you make a profile based feature like how Brave browser has. Reason - to separate interests! ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2025-10-07* Does everything you’d expect. Idk how it’s possible with how expensive API is. Love the gestures ### 5/5 — Great for anonymous, light browsing *2025-09-18* Only used basic features, but perfect for lightweight use ### 5/5 — Best free Reddit app *2025-06-28* Great app for viewing but no way to login in and comment or create posts, at least with free version. But the concept is great, it looks great and there are many options to setup views and filtering. It does allow ability to import lists of sub reddits. The best app I have found for IOS even with limitations **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. As of now there is no paid version, all the features are the same for every user whether you choose to donate or not. ### 5/5 — Lets you read reddit without logging in *2025-02-13* Reddit now forces you to make an account to view any smaller community because they are "unverified" real reason is to show shareholders they have users lol, you can use old. still but this works well if you want an app to browse ### 5/5 — Reddit viewer with smooth UI *2024-12-24* This is in my opinion the best reddit viewer available. 0 crashes or stuttering after pretty regular use, I’m really impressed with this! **Developer response:** Thank you for your review of my rdx reddit client. For image downloading you can open any image press the share icon on top right and pick save photo from the share options that appear. ### 5/5 — Reddit viewer with smooth UI *2024-12-16* This is in my opinion the best reddit viewer available, the only suggestion I have is that an image download option would be great when browsing. 0 crashes or stuttering after pretty regular use, I’m really impressed with this! **Developer response:** Thank you for your review of my rdx reddit client.
