Ratings and reviews

The real gem of this app is how much you can customize your experience. Relay used to be my go-to, but when that app when premium, this one was a recommended replacement. I was skeptical until I got into the settings and realized the amazing depth to which I could customize things to mimic other apps I was used to. I'd love to see more themes. I'd be happiest if I could pick each part separately (background, text, accent..).

This app is very barebones, but I love it. I used to use Reddit is Fun before the API changes and dreaded needing to move onto the official app because I've seen how it worked with my friends' phones. RedReader provides me the basic necessities of using the website without anything extra. Shoutout to QuantumBadger. You're fantastic. Thank you so much!!

app is great but broke recently for me. no videos play now. must select "view in external browser" and even then the sound does not play. also I logged out of my reddit account to see if that would fix the issue. and the app is not allowing me to log into my reddit account. it says invalid username/pass, bit that's not the issue. I can log in on a browser with that same user/pass. edit: all issues fixed! you're the best! thank you!!!
