Praise

What users love

  • Superior Alternative Experience
    • MILES better than the official Reddit app. This is what a Reddit app should be.
Complaint

Common complaints

  • Mandatory Subscription Friction
    • Says it’s a free app… download it, instantly completely locked until pay $3.99 a month subscription.
  • Poor UI Updates (Tablet)
    • New update on my tablet shifts navigation to the left with so much wasted space. This app is now useless.
