Ratings and reviews

I'm sorry to say this amazing app is broken for me. I've changed my Reddit password multiple times and I still can log in. I've changed my default default browser, cleared data and cache, waited 15 minutes, nothing. The strange thing is that I'm able to log in to a stand alone browser but the second it's through the app, in a browser, it says username/password not valid, as if my keystrokes are wrong.

I've been spoiled by Bacon Reader and Boost over the years. RR has taken some time to customize and adapt to. The one thing I encounter often that just drives me nuts is the need to manually download media one- by- one. I've always had some ability to bulk download media to some degree or another. I hope that you consider my request.

This is a good 3rd party app for reddit. My only complaint so far is that there is no pause feature on videos. On RIF, you can pause and slide to any point in the video. Here, if you touch the video to pause, it just closes the video. Other than that, great app. Edit: And this is exactly why I made this review, hoping you would say exactly that! Thank you! Increased to 5 stars.
