Not quite what I'm looking for

I'm relatively new to the modern iPhone as I spent the last many years on Android using 'Boost for Reddit'. They don't make an iOs version, unfortunately. The defacto app on Reddit' wasn't doing it for me so Im looking for an alternative.

I like that it actually let's me browse anonymously.

I don't like that I can't go back to anonymous after I sign-in with an account.

The search screen is a disaster. Side by side tiles with a very low display limit and cut-off text is horrible to look at.

Grid mode seems to have it's boundaries off as I can click nearly 1/2 into an image on the left and the app registers it as a click on the right.

I cannot seem to figure out how to add a subreddit to the overview page without going to it and subscribing.

The create a custom feed does not seem to do anything.

pretty nice

keep at it bc apollo needs competition

Beautiful App, one of the best out there

I really do think this app deserves more attention. It’s really well made, the UI is elegant. I’ll break down a few of my favorite functions as well:

• You can make custom themes for the app. Not just a generic color picker either. You can find the exact code of the color you want and paste it into a UI element.

• You can manage the exact amount of storage the app is using

• There’s a bar in the center bottom and you can change the center button to a few different options. It’s nice having the search button right there when I need it.

• Upcoming: The dev has shown off that it will sync read links between devices. I switch between my phone and tablet often, so it would be incredibly handy. I don’t think any other app on the market doesn’t that right now (that I know of).

• Can change fetch intervals for the background app refresh

• For devs: Even allows you to change the code blocks theme

Overall, this app is fantastic and I think it should get more attention.

Resurfer App Crashes

I really dislike when my more in-depth/detail reviews get deleted but TLDR is: Resurfer continues to crash, not sure if this has something to do with App Cache or what…

Love the new update but…

I love that new update. I will donate it for that alone. I just wish we could see the title of the videos and GIFs on grid mode while they’re still being autoplayed
