Ratings and reviews

Was going great for a while, but now there's a banner ad that keeps auto playing audio which stops my music and I have to switch over to Spotify to restart only for the next page I click on to have the same banner ad(hooter or some other restaurant I think) do the same thing. Agitating. If it continues to happen I'll have to switch to a different app.

Definitely much better than the default Reddit app, and works very smoothly and bug-free. I'm also very happy with the amount of settings you can customize. It does take some time to go through all the settings to find the specific setup you enjoy most, but I feel it's definitely worth it and effortless from there.

Works mostly how you'd expect, in that it is more functional than the official app. It is missing some Reddit features, such as no "Chats" ("Messages" is a different messaging service, confusingly enough within Reddit), tap-to-show/hide-comments is tied to the username tap-to-interact function for whatever reason, and image/video/GIF replies show up as links instead of imbedded media which feels very 2010 for a 2023 app. Overall good, but I wish I hadn't paid for ad removal before using more.
