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.

Good but…
I love the app, I download my favorite Videos on it to show to my friends in my camera roll, but one thing, I can’t download all of the videos though, I really want to show a lot of stuff, please make it so that I can download every video on it, it would the the greatest thing ever.
Pretty good. Needs some stuff and fixes though
This app is great, and honestly provides a pretty great experience compared to the main reddit app. The UI is pretty flushed and can be navigated through easily. There are some things that should be added like being able to search by community flair, and choose between being able to see saved comments and posts, . And there are bugs such as the app freezing and crashing, and posts not showing the correct thumbnail image or video, skipping posts on its own, and randomly making all of my posts stop showing, but Im sure that will be fixed over time.

Nice design and iPad multi column
A lot of redditors talk about other apps, but I think slide is the best Reddit app for iOS. It has the design and no vapor ware iPad layout. It actually has an iPad layout which is quite nice. The scrolling is smooth and is just an all around great app.
Carlos Come Back!
Man, to me, this is by far the best Reddit client I’ve ever used. Such a phenomenal and customizable UI that has amazing navigation.
I think the developer has stepped away from the project, but I hope he comes back. I would gladly pay an annual subscription to receive support on the app again.

No longer supported
I've tried the top Reddit clients and liked this one best, enough that I paid for the premium only to realize that it hasn't gotten any updates in months. When I started seeing the posts about this app being dead I realized I threw my money away.
It's a decent choice and there is definitely potential for improvement, but it seems it will never see the light so you should probably stick with the free version or try something else.

Very Impressive
I downloaded this app without many expectations. However, I was very impressed from the very start. There are some clever features in this app that Reddit should definitely take note on. Overall, I recommend it!
Old Yeller of iOS Reddit Apps
This app was amazing for years—but in the last 1-2 years, it gradually got worse & worse.
Scrolling for too long? Crash & back to the top for you. Switched to a different app for too long? Guess you want to see everything you just viewed again (this is with “hide viewed posts” on, btw). Up-/downvoted something before the crash? Too bad, vote not saved. Try again.
I loved this app when I first got it, but it feels like it… aged over time. I feel bad uninstalling this, but reading reviews, there’s better Reddit iOS apps out there.
For all the years it gave me, I can’t rate it any lower. But if I’m being honest? It’s felt like a 1-2 star app for a while now. It feels like it’s suffering trying to load image albums, much less videos & external websites. This app slows my phone down more than any other if I’m being completely honest—will completely freeze my phone at times.
So long, old faithful. You had a good run.

Great for consumption
Slide is awesome. Some glitches as of 7.1.1 when switching modes, but nothing a quick relaunch can’t solve. I love that you can lock it with FaceID, and use Shadowbox to view everything on full screen. The customizable sliding on comments is great, and easily my most used feature. But posting? Yeah, I’m gonna stick to the web version for that. No support for videos (ad far as I can tell). A little basic, but it’s a trade worth making for all the other features.

Settings are really confusing but amazing app
One improvement I’d like to see:
On images and videos, have the sub/title be able to be on top of the preview image. Don’t think that’s possible as of now.
Otherwise possibly speed up comment collapse and it’s a 10/10 app

Links opened from an external source breaks full screen
Lovely app and I love the full screen view where it hides the clock and battery bar, however, when opening a Reddit link from an external source, this app instead opens that post in a slide up card. It would be lovely if you could swipe this up to go into full screen but it isn’t possible sadly. Please update if possible.

The go to for reddit on IPad
This is app finally gave me the functionality I was wanting for reddit on an iPad that the standard reddit app wasn’t giving me. Once reddit went to their new awful video playback fromat, I was done! This app is miles better!
Overall the app is very customizable and the gesture controls are intuitive. if you support this team by going ‘pro’ you get even more options!
Also no ads. what else could you possibly want?

Disappointing Design
I was excited to find a Reddit app that hyped thoughtful design after the official app made watching videos a nightmare. Slide has a user-friendly build but one infuriating, unchangeable “feature”: Post titles/info are listed AFTER post content.
The only sub this doesn’t matter in that I’m subscribed to is r/nocontextpics. With Slide, EVERY sub I’m subscribed to is r/nocontextpics.
Slide looks like a decent app otherwise. But unless I’m missing a setting that populates the data as it is intended, this seems like another case of someone on the design team saying, “It’s not stupid - it’s innovative!”

Could be a great app one day
Has a lot of great features and very customizable. Unfortunately it doesn’t work very well on any iPhone I’ve tried it on, XS Max, 11 Pro Max, and 12 Pro Max. It frequently stop loading new posts, and then will only load one new post when you hit the end of the current screen. I’ve tried uninstalling/reinstalling and it will eventually always begin to fail. Attempted to communicate with dev, but extremely combative. Try Apollo, much better app, more stable across more devices.
Bought Pro on this, because it seemed like a great feature set. Definitely not worth it.

Almost?
I really want to like this app, however, it appears I cannot completely get on board.
The biggest issue is the fact that it consistently shows me posts I have already seen. I have the verified my settings, but whenever I hit hide, some still show up. Even if I refresh, the first post is always there.
With all the high ratings, it must be something I am doing wrong, so I keep trying.

Probably one of the best (but extremely buggy)
I use 3 apps for reddit. One app has the text editor just down. Apollo, comet, and slide. Apollo has a layout I don’t like but it has the text editor down but I hate really dislike scrolling on it. Comet has a better layout and is less buggier version of slide.
Slide is really the best of both worlds, customizable, and really great layout, minimal, but it’s bugs are there. And they can sometimes ruin the experience.
So all in all, great potential.
