Ratings and reviews

Best Reddit app around. I've tried many others on Android and iPhone and none even come close to rif in terms of aesthetics and clean interface. It's easy on the eyes, and easy to browse compared to all the other noisy and confusing Reddit apps. The rif designers know what they're doing. Not only is the interface the cleanest, but it has many useful options the others don't. Most notably the Homepage setting. I'm shocked I haven't found any other app with this setting. iPhone is missing out.

What a simple yet elegant design! It baffles me that reddit themselves cannot create a proper app for its own website when it is backed by billionaires. No more needing to hit the back button 80 times just to get back to the home page. This app makes it so easy to browse reddit, sufficiently customizable, and simple to use. It reflects the old reddit design and everything is so intuitive. I will definitely be paying for the paid version of this app to support the developer. The only suggestion is to have push notifications.

I actually quite like the app, just crashing a lot the last few months. I like the side search bar too, it's easy to find what you want. Just wish rif would stop crashing so often .. sometimes 3-4 times a day .. ya, been on it a lot lately lol .. if you can figure out what's glitching it out, I'd give it a 4/5 .. it's distracting me from what I should be doing though, haha .. update: crashing has been resolved, still a good app ☺
