Gorgeous app with great functionality and no ads. I've used it for years, but it's become more and more technically broken over time. It has frequent crashes, connectivity issues almost every time it's opened, and this is maybe the 5th or 6th time that it's crashed so hard that it bugs out my Recent Apps screen, not only at the time but whenever I try to launch it. This issue has even persisted after uninstalling before. Sorry to say that I'm very, very disappointed by this app.
Every now and then the app bugs and won't let me open it by pressing the icon from the homescreen. I can open certain subreddits that appear on the long press pop-up menu but I can't actually see the main screen. Resetting the data and cache fixes the problem but I shouldn't have to do that. I'll update my review once it's fixed. It seems it has been fixed
Let me just say I want to love it. I've been a supporter since day 1. Bought pro version day 1. I think it's absolutely the best designed Reddit app. Unfortunately there are serious performance issues since the beginning that I keep hoping will be resolved but never seems to happen. Serious lag issues on a high end phone. Occasional 20 second long freezes. Content not loading. It makes for a really frustrating experience despite the super nice design. I will continue to support the app and follow the development but I can't use it as my main Reddit app until the performance issues are resolved.
Been using this app for a few years now. It is buggy and has its issues, but is still my preferred app for Reddit thanks to the design and the lack of ads. Edit: It's time to let it go... it can take ages for me to even get into the homepage, it can take eons for media to load, and now in the new update, it is crashing whenever I select the three dots for more options. This app has only gotten worse over the years, with bugs never being fixed...
When the app works, it's fantastic; beautiful and customizable. But lately it's been freezing completely and I'm unable to open it it without completely uninstalling and reinstalling. Then I have to completely set up the app again. It's infuriating. I haven't been able to open the app once in the last 3 months.
I thought it was a great app but after a few weeks have been annoyed into dumping it. First it kept crashing and I had to delete the app data. Didn't realize that I changed almost every setting from default. Now it keeps thinking I'm long-pressing when I'm just scrolling. Making a comment is annoying. The text entry font is huge and is goes off screen when you press the comment button. The positives: free, no ads, reader mode in the browser.
I love the emphasis on swiping for navigation, especially on a big phone. That alone is the main reason I use this over the standard reddit app. I have noticed however that my feed wont show every once and a while, which will make me have to log in and out which is anoying. Fine navigation is a big more difficult as well, but nothing that takes away from the experience
2 issues. Firstly - server error which is resolved only by switching to offline mode then back to online Second, an error that basically corrupts the app. It keeps crashing. Had this issue twice now. Seems only resolved on a full reinstall. But I lose all my configs and saves which is frustrating. Used to run smooth. It's not user friendly like this. Shame because it's by far the best interface to browse Reddit.
Previously pretty happy with this app, but the fact that it would always bug me to enable storage permissions was a bit creepy and unerving. Now with Android 12, you can now see that it is also pulling from the clipboard just whenever, which is a huge flag for me. I feel like given the privacy concerns, you should look elsewhere for an app.
Great Looking App that Frequently Breaks. Been using for years, looks great but has bugs that haven't been solved for years in addition to new bugs that break something near weekly. Long term, app breaks every morning and needs a manual restart. Images fail to load for many posts and need user to toggle view layout. Short term, app now micro crashes in a infinite loop so fast that your screen flickers uncontrollably requiring you to button mash ypur way out back to home screen. QA is trash.
As time has passed the frequency of freezes and reloads has increased so much I can't rate this app higher than 1 star. Load media from a thread, press back, and all the sudden the app starts glitching taking you to random places from your history. Since I first started using this app this bug has existed and now it's getting unbearable, this has been going on too damn long. Time to find a new reddit app
Honestly I've had it for probably a few years now and absolutely love the UI and the design work put into it. It's the most beautiful reddit app, hands down, and I love using it--I honestly find the normal reddit website/app pretty ugly, so this app is pretty refreshing. The functionality of the app is a bit more of a problem for me, though. I've noticed problems with loading content over the past year, and today it's crashed every time I've accessed a (the LoL) subreddit or its posts.
Lots of good features and easy browsing. For free, it's great but its background activity clogs a bit. A few UI features could be improved/added (eg attempting to share a post with a picture only gives the option to share the picture).
Really nice app overall but not without issues. For eg, audio doesn't work on the majority of videos, forcing me to play media externally via a secondary app. Also, fast swiping between subs can cause a loading hitch whereby the circle loading animation never stops and subs never load. Other than that though, it's still my main driver. Thanks.
Just add an option for disabling automatic playing the videos and it's all great . Plus bonus points for no ads. Considering buying pro version just because of the features and no ads in the free version . One of the best free reddit apps. Edit: It's very slow though
Allows a lot of customisation. Unfortunately not for the specific thing I dislike the most. I wish the Slide title image in the Drawer menu could be removed or made significantly smaller. It's annoying that it takes up a quarter of the drawer which could be used to show more subs instead.
This has been my go-to Reddit app for years, but I recently started getting the message that Slide had pasted from my clipboard with no reason to do so. Not ok. Time to look for another Reddit app, as much as it hurts to do so.
It's okay when it works properly, and frustrating when it doesn't. If scrolling a single sub by new, once it runs out of pre-loaded posts it will load the newest posts instead of older posts in newest order. Once it runs out of those, it either gets stuck in an infinite loop of the newest posts, or will default back to the FrontPage.
The app worked perfectly untill recently. Whenever I try to open a link for a post, the app just halts, and Android will eventually say the app isn't responding and force close. Tried opt-in for beta, and out ahain, but same issue.
Usually the bugs aren't bad enough that they overcome how good the app is. But right now, on 2 different devices, some videos that should, don't have audio. This is a fairly new bug, but it's been around now for at least 2 weeks.
lack of dev support and reddit tightening it's policies has left this app in shambles. Media just doesn't load a lot of times until I restart the app, a change in network (switching from data to wifi or vice versa) leaves the app struggling to reach reddit servers. As days go on it just breaks a lil more everyday. it's gotten to a point where it's just annoying now. I loved this app but it's time to switch to something else or just stop using reddit all together
App looks exceptional, but having to relaunch the app occasionally to display my subreddits is a pain. Additionally it takes a ridiculously long time to load more than the first three posts, and anything from any other tab.
I've used this app for years now but I'm getting pretty fed up with the crashes. Trying to load an album? It either refuses to load the images or crashes the moment you select the post. Went to quick switch to landscape for a YouTube video? Better get ready for the most frustrating experience of screen rotation ever. Video been either close out or get half cut off because it recognizes the switch for everything but the actual video.
