Ratings and reviews

Updates are far too slow allowing bugs and issues to persist for up to and beyond a year. Considering the app has barely been around for over 2 years, this is unacceptable. The developer also goes completely silent during these long periods, offering no communication on status for updates to fix issues. Additionally, I paid for Sync for Reddit and they require this app to be paid for again while not providing bug fixes or updates or any communication. Use any other app, but do not use this one

One frustrating aspect I've encountered is the app will seemingly auto refresh. So after 10 minutes of scrolling and hiding posts, a refresh will automatically happen bringing all the hidden posts back and forcing me back to the start. Can't figure out how to turn off the refresh. Great for being in beta. Issues so far: *Hidden posts don't stay hidden. A refresh will bring them back.

Update: Changed 5 star review to 1 star. I signed up for the annual premium plan to support the dev. Their response was to take our money and run. App is out of date and critical formatting, instance blocking, and cross posting features are either broken or do not exist. Consider Voyager. Previous review: Best Lemmy interface I've used so far. It's beautiful and intuitive.
