Customer Reviews
Overall, pretty good, but with some problems
The app is pretty well designed visually and functionally. I do wish the chat was placed in a submenu somewhere else and the user account button was back down on the main bottom menu instead. It was so much quicker and easier to switch accounts by long pressing the user button on the bottom menubar of the app.
The redesign also made the app a bit clunkier and slower, although it looks better.
The most annoying part of the app is that I regularly have connectivity issues with it. This never happens with other apps, only Reddit. I often get repeated errors about being able to load content, upvote/downvote content, posts won’t load, comments won’t load, etc. I will have to refresh it multiple times before it works sometimes. I have this problem on WiFi with no VPN, on WiFi with a VPN, on my cellular data with no VPN, and cellular data with a VPN, so it’s not a network issue.
This connectivity issue, the clunky-ness, and the worsened ergonomics/UI are all very frustrating and have made me start to look at other Reddit apps. It’s unfortunate, because is an otherwise great app.
Using Reddit for almost a year now, new update lost crucial feature
The one feature that I cannot seem to find, or probably does not exist anymore, is being able to see my upvoted posts. I would really appreciate it if there was some way to restore this because often times I want to share something I upvoted, I would have to scroll through all of my history instead to find it. To try to save a post every time I upvote it is also a chore... Sometimes I also don’t have the forethought to save a post. Again thank you for all your hard work for the new update but am sorely missing this feature
Bad after recent update
Ever since the update for this app (version 4.0.2), pages jump all over the place and I can’t control it. I’ll just be reading and BOOM! the page has scrolled down multiple comments. I’ll even hold the screen with my finger to try and prevent scrolling but to no avail. I also cannot jump to the linked article from the front page like I used to. Instead I just get a link to some related picture. It’s a departure from the convenience I’m used to, especially when studies show redditors don’t read the articles they comment on.
Before this update, this app was amazing. Plz fix
