Ratings and reviews

It's so much better than the offical reddit App. I'm a refugee from rif is fun. Which redreader is so much worse compared to. You should get notified if there's a new reply. When you're posting a link, the title is not being scraped, you have to go back and do it manually. There's a lot of counter intuitive functions. Only real upgrade is the easy switch between the accounts. Hence 4 and not 3 stars.

Miles better than the official app. So very customizable! And have been using this ever since the IPO without issue. However had become unusable since yesterday. Tried relogging into my account, but after I press accept on Reddit, I'm meet with a black screen with {} in the corner and cannot sign into my account. Cannot even use this without logging in as i get the error "unknown error, could not log in" will change my review once this is resolved. Resolved by clearing the data.

Edit 2: pinch to zoom on video is here, going to 5 stars. For me, not being able to freely zoom on videos hurts this app a lot, very disappointing for an app focused on accessibility (zoom to fill is not enough). Otherwise it is ok but as a visually impaired person, I cannot enjoy Reddit fully. edit: dropping to 1 star as zoom is still not implemented.
