5 stars when functioning correctly

This is by far my favorite Reddit app. Been using for years. They must’ve pushed out an update that broke it because the past few weeks, it’s been freezing constantly.

Sometimes, the entire app becomes unresponsive. Sometimes, clicking on comments won’t reveal the icons to upvote, downvote, etc.

On top of that, there now no way to search a subreddit and subscribe to it. Like I search it. It pulls up the subreddit. And then there’s nothing but the posts on that sub. You can’t search the sub. You can’t subscribe to it. Maybe an update broke my settings, but it’s becoming frustrating to use.

It’s a few steps off from being the perfect Reddit browser!

Slide is becoming one of my favorite apps to browse Reddit. The interface is very pretty in the user experience is smooth. I haven’t experienced any bugs or glitches so far which is a testament to how good of a job the developers have done here. I only have two improvements that I hope I made in the future to make this app pretty much perfect.

1. Whenever an external Reddit link is opened in Slide such as from a browser like Safari, the app opens it in this small pop out looking window. Unfortunately there is no way to change this and make it fullscreen like how it would look when you open a Reddit page with the Slide app itself. So please incorporate an option to toggle this view.

2. Please allow option for greater indentation between comments in threads so that it’s easier to read which comments are replying to which. Although the color coding is great and helpful, currently, the indentation is very small so it makes it hard to easily differentiate. Please provide some type of option to make the indentation bigger/ smaller wider/narrower depending on what the user likes

If the app can do this, I don’t think there will be anything left lacking in my eyes. I’ve gone pro just from from what how Good it’s been for my use. Highly recommend for any Reddit user

Reason to love and use Reddit.

I can’t tell you how this changes Reddit in a good way. Cards based UI is beautiful and easy to use. And as designer I appreciate the granular ability to customize everything down to colors and fonts. Please Please continue work on this app and update.

Favorite iOS Reddit app!

Tried like 7 different Reddit apps since getting an iPhone and this is by far my favorite. The content layout makes sense and you can customize it to you preference. I like to overwhelm my brain quickly with lines and lines of useless text when I read Reddit and this app lets me do that. Perfect for any Reddit addict. Thanks slide!

Still the Best Reddit App for iPad

Despite not being under active development for more than a year now, Slide remains the pinnacle of design for using Reddit on an iPad. The natural sliding and tapping gestures together with flexible muti-column layout (including dynamically resizing card layout images) all work well on the iPad where you have significantly more viewable space and distance to reach objects on the screen. Some reviews are understandably unhappy about bugs or new incompatibilities that are not getting patched, but nothing major has impacted me yet. People are always going on about Apollo, but IMO Slide is still king of the iPad.
