### 5/5 — Lifesaver

*2026-08-06, version 3.9.0*

One of my most-used apps - this makes Reddit’s interface a thousand times more tolerable. Easily worth its weight in gold!

### 5/5 — Listens to feedback

*2026-06-15, version 3.8.3*

The developer is active and answers your emails. They will also develop new features based on them. The extension genuinely adds quality of life improvements to the website for me.

### 5/5 — Love the old Reddit feel

*2026-05-10, version 3.7.0*

Truly amazing to have the old Reddit experience on my phone. Love using it more than any other app

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-05-06, version 3.7.0*

Works smoothly and makes browsing reddit a delightful experience.

### 5/5 — Makes reddit 1000x more tolerable

*2026-03-14, version 3.6.2*

Thank you

### 5/5 — Beautiful App

*2025-12-22, version 3.5.1*

Thank you devs for this app.. it reminds me of rif for android and alien blue.. I love old Reddit always have..

I can fly through comments so fast. 

Thanks again!

### 4/5 — Almost 5/5

*2025-11-27, version 3.5.1*

Just add one thing - the ability to block/filter users. You can block subreddits and even certain words but not users. Add that and it’ll be perfect. Cheers.

### 5/5 — Makes Reddit Great Again

*2025-11-17, version 3.5.1*

Huge QoL improvement, probably the best $4 I’ve spent in a long time. I would love to see support for adding multireddits however.

### 5/5 — Best thing I’ve used for reddit on mobile

*2025-11-06, version 3.5.1*

Overall very good! Especially since reddit stoped 3rd party apps, this is the best alternative. 

My only hang-up is that loading any new reddit page hangs for a few seconds every time (counted ~5 seconds on my iphone 13 pro). I would love to know the reason and what can be done about it. This has always been the case for me for the year+ I’ve used this extension. I even tried disabling all other extensions to make sure.

I would also like to make a feature request to add a  “show images” button like what RES has which would automatically expand all the posts on the page.

### 5/5 — Get it

*2025-10-03, version 3.5.1*

Idk man, just get it.
