My fifth year on Reddit. Today was my 5th Reddit cake day. I thought I’d leave a review for the app since it has been almost 100% of my interaction with the site since singing up 5 years ago. I have tried other 3rd party Reddit apps and find that this one is the best for me. It’s easy to navigate and play with and does have some nice features for finding new subs and whatever. Does the basic functions of Reddit pretty well, as it should. HOWEVER The app is constantly being “improved” with god awful UI quirks to make it some form of “better.” The app is constantly fixing what isn’t broken. Just getting used to a certain feature of the app? Yeah, they’ll change it to something even more awkward and unusable in a few months. The most recent video player change makes NO sense and I don’t know of a single user I’ve interacted with that actually thinks it’s a good idea. As I mentioned before the site is really good at the basics of Reddit. And it should focus on being the best app for those basic features of the site! Stop messing with all the controls every few months and releasing updates that are just out of wack, for no good reason! Refine what works well and keep being the best at the fundamentals for the website YOU created in the first place! I love Reddit but these changes are frequent and annoying enough to make me just close the app after a minute or two because interacting with the content is such a chore. Really frustrating!

Issues opening Reddit from Safari. I really like Reddit and I try to browse the forums and threads frequently but I’m pretty frustrated with the repeated issues I’ve had. Reddit frequently forgets my account so I’m pretty much always signed out. And my major problem right now is whenever I pull up Safari and try to google a particular thread to look at, the link will redirect me to Reddit. That fine except it’s super janky. I’ll say yes go to app and it will (on Safari) switch to a second page and then give me a second pop telling me I need to download the Reddit app (which I obviously already have). It will pull up Reddit at that point despite telling me I don’t have the app 🤦🏼‍♀️ It usually rapid fire switches between a whole bunch of blank pages on Reddit before finally loading whatever page I was trying to look at. Again, I really like Reddit but I definitely feel like the app is not refined. I don’t have these issues with any of the dozens of other apps I have and use regularly, including redirected to from Safari. I never encounter these issues except with Reddit. I explained best I could, but it’s very weird and frustrating. Hopefully Reddit can fix these issues. (And yes I always check and update Reddit, it never fixes it.)

Useless updates and unintuitive AI. Wow! This app was great a few years ago; always my go-to! It was easy to navigate and preferred it over the desktop version. But ever since they changed the video player, it’s been going downhill. The community has been vocal about the bad updates and begged to go back, but the developers basically told everyone to kick sand. I dealt with the video player because I didn’t like any alternatives, but recently, they moved the ‘sort by’ menu to the settings! You know how to tap 3 buttons to get to the menu vs the original 1. Why would they change this? Incompetence. For the sake of changing stuff, they change THE most used feature on the app. With this update, it is my final use of this horrid app. Maybe it will change in the future, but with other social media platforms incorporating videos into their app, I doubt Reddit mobile will stray away. The best thing about Reddit was that it was a social media platform that didn’t *feel* like a social media app, but now they’re moving in that direction with their exclusive, dumb ideas. It’s a shame, I’ll be using the alternative and learning it from the beginning because Reddit mobile is NOT getting better and getting much, much worse. 1 star. Terrible app. Deleted.

I haven’t had any issues with the app till now—video player, I’m looking at you.. Man, sometimes I like to watch 5 second long videos, read the comments for a couple minutes, and get on with my day. Unfortunately now I can’t even do that because the video keeps looping, which turns my comment reading session into a torture session. Come on, is that tiktok ripoff trend so lucrative that you have to jump on it too? Nobody on Reddit wants tiktok on the platform—if they did they’d be using tiktok. Stop trying to be like the social media giants and go back to being your own thing! That’s why your user base exists and you’re gonna lose a lot of us if you keep making these awful choices. Ok but for real, the video player UI is just awful. On everything else the upvote/downvote buttons are on the left, but on the video player they’re on the right. The pause button is tiny. Pressing the “comments” icon takes you to the video instead of the comments, and to read the comments you have to pause the video first (if you care about your sanity). Scrolling on the video no longer takes you to the comments but to another random video. You can do better. Or wait, how bout you just go back to what was there? I never had an issue with the old player.

Good content but bad U.I. The content on reddit can’t be criticized because it is all user material, but the way we interact with the content CAN. The user interface is trash and hard to use. Scrolling through a video on ios almost certainly results in failure as the bar to scroll through the video is far too close to the bar you swipe to change apps. Another thing, when googling a question and finding answer on the reddit site, opening to the app takes you to the app store and doesnt let you see the actual post preventing you from seeing the rest of original post, or comments which for some reason is not allowed on the website. The whole system of selecting posts to view is broken to me. swiping up or down like in tiktok does not show the previous or next video in the sub, it shows a random slightly connected video forcing you to swipe out of any post to view the next in the sub. Small changes to improve quality of life is all that is needed to make this app a 5/5 stars for me

One annoyance.... I honestly like the official Reddit app way better than any other third-party apps I've tried. However, I have one minor annoyance that's grown into a major gripe over time: whenever I use Safari to Google search something, and a Reddit post is in the search results, if I click the link there's a pop-up that says "See Reddit in..." and I have the option to open the page in the Reddit app or continue with the web browser. My problem is, whenever I try to open the page in the Reddit app, I'm sent to the app store as if I hadn't installed the app. I have never been able to open a link from Safari in the Reddit app, and I've tried everything. The app is up to date, I've tried opening the app before clicking the link and it still won't take me to the app. Honestly, if this was fixed I'd give 5 stars. The Reddit app is really good. But this is just so annoying, and it's difficult to search for a specific post within the app so there's no real workaround. So I'm just hoping the devs see this and find a way to fix it. I'm using an iPhone XR 128GB, if that matters.

REDDiT!!😃. I love ReDDIT! The only thing I would change is the user interface. I’m pretty new to REDDIT, so I never saw much of the old UI, but the current one is very counterintuitive and confusing. But other than that I love this place. It’s a central hub for discussion of just about anything. With monopolies choking us to death (5 or 6 companies control almost all of what we see, hear, read or watch) free speech is a 4 letter word. Comment sections have been shut down so the media can gaslight us. The arts are dead because of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (you’ll have to figure that one out yourself, but here’s a hint - 5 companies are not going to make the same films that 50 or 100 companies (who all fight for their own corner of the market) would. People that own everything would rather make 5 movies and try to force everyone to watch those. Very little options, sellers control the market, quality drops, formulas get made and simplified, etc. Sorry for the digression, but I will continue to get this info out to people until we fix this entire mess, break these monopolies and bring law and order back into our government. Anyway, love the site but bring back the old UI. Thanks everybody!

Ruined by June 11 Update. So this app has been said to be inferior to other reddit applications, but I always found it to be perfectly suitable to my needs. Now all of a sudden I open up reddit for a little late night browsing before I go to bed and there has suddenly been some sort of update that I never downloaded and had no way to opt out of. This update butchered the video player that I was very content with, which is my main point of contention. It is clearly trying to mimic the “scrolling feed” that has become standard for most social media apps, but the reality is that most people come to reddit because they don’t want that crap. I have no desire to tap on a video and get brought to a blatant tiktok ripoff video player, in which I can swipe up and see content completely unrelated to the subs I am subscribed to. What makes it worse is the way the comments look when I open them up. I just liked it the way it was, and it seems that all of these updates were not intended to provide a better user experience. I hope they update the app with the option to go back to the way things were. Until then I honestly just don’t see myself enjoying this app.

The UI “updates” are terrible and not user-friendly!. HEADS UP! THE PREVIEW IS NOTHING LIKE WHAT THE APP LOOKS LIKE NOW! Continuously, Reddit App developers change the UI not to fix bugs but to make a worse experience for users. Reddit used to have a UI design that set it apart and was functional. Now the app is designed to emulate other social media apps and it does not fit with existing design choices. The new video player is somehow worse than the video player that existed previously (and was never fixed, despite constant bug reports). Sorting options have been removed from the top of the tabs and placed within the profile menu (and only lets you sort for home now). That means instead of one click to sort, it’s now three. They’ve decided, in their infinite wisdom, to change how the upvote, comment, and share buttons are displayed. Instead of across the entire bottom of a post, spread out so you know what you’re clicking, it’s all now squished to the bottom left of the post. They choose to overhaul the design of the UI repeatedly, straying further and further away from what made Reddit unique while not fixing any of the existing issues. I could go on and on about the horrible choices they continue to make, and how they don’t listen to the community about what we actually want out of the app, but they clearly don’t listen (duh).

You cannot have an opinion and you have to think the same way everyone else does :/!. The issue with Reddit is you can’t actually have an opinion, and by that I mean valid opinions that are harmless such as which chip flavor is better or little things like that. The downvote feature penalizes you for getting downvoted, such as it’ll hide your comments or not let you post on certain subreddits if you don’t have enough. For example on the hello fresh subreddit, there was a question asking if they think the price is worth it and only people who agreed yes had upvotes and they downvoted anyone who said they personally didn’t feel like it was worth it. You make a thread asking a question and to have people voice their different harmless opinions, yet they got downvoted? This just proves you have to think the same mindset as everyone else, which is just not how the real world works. The downvote feature should be replaced with if a comment gets reported a certain amount of time it’s automatically deleted, since there could be racist comments or creepy ones that need to get deleted which is understandable. Yet it’s tiring to get downvoted for simple things. People will literally go as far as checking your whole post history and page just to add on to a downvote and prove their point, which is super … odd to me. I honestly just don’t like posting at this point, because even for simple questions I get downvoted if people find it too boring, which is dumb.

Constantly making terrible updates, never to be fixed. Devs can’t leave a good thing alone. App is constantly being updated and every time it is, it gets more frustrating to use. Good features are constantly being taken away and not replaced. Meanwhile, frustrating features that don’t make sense are all more common. Click on post title, and it no longer takes you to comments. It opens video player instead. Try to swipe on comment to collapse, and it changes the post entirely. It’s really feels like the people that make this app don’t use it at all. Not to mention they switched to a native video player that doesn’t work a large percentage of the time. What once was a reliable system, has been replaced by a faulty system that is consistently not working. It’d be different if this was experimental, or fixed with time. Instead, these changes are introduced with no concern for the user base, and what feels like no intention of being fixed. The community does not receive it well, and announces their displeasure. Then they are left that way, to never be touched again. Not very happy with the way this app has been managed the last few years. Going to have to switch to an alternative.

A huge thank you!. I have been a Redditor for a few years now and always look forward to updates on the app. I don’t usually use the computer so I appreciate any and all updates to mobile. My all-time FOREVER FAVORITE & also what coincidently brought me to Reddit in the first is No Sleep. For the longest time, I couldn’t subscribe to series with one click. I tried to read how to fix the problem and or do it manually but could not figure it out. I knew from web searches this wasn’t an isolated problem. It sucked that I had to save the story then login on the internet to subscribe. But just for old times sake I clicked “here” and it worked! I appreciate all the time and effort everyone puts in, even though most of Reddit only comments and complains about Reddit. I can’t afford to buy premium monthly but I do when I have extra spending money and love to give awards the few times I have. I wish it was a bit more cost-effective but other than that you have a fan/user for the life of this platform!

Terrible Media Player, But Decent App Overall. Reddit is my go-to source for most content, as you can find almost anything you search for. Strangely enough the app is designed in a way which minimizes the censorship of certain subjects, but allows for personal opinions to get downvoted because someone else disagrees. I love the upvote/downvote feature, but it is easy to get banned for violating rules, while other members get upvotes for hate speech or negative comments. The media player has been terrible for a long time now. This is supposed to be the heart and soul of Reddit, but it doesn’t function properly. How many years will take for it to finally be improved? Normally I have to enter/exit the player several times to get the video to work. Sometimes I get the error that says the video is removed, but it isn’t. Sometimes I just save the video for later, and it works better when I access it from my Saved list. Also, it is impossible to replay a video without the media player being glitchy. I’ve seen many comments on Reddit where users recommend that I use a third party app to play the videos properly, but this should be a necessity!

Not Working, Design Changes Hurt User Experience. This app was working just fine until the recent updates where Reddit has (1) swapped the video player with a TikTok wannabe video players and forced videos to sticky to the top of posts and (2) replaced the bottom communities tab that conveniently listed recent communities, favorited communities, and all other joined communities with an Pinterest-like browse tab which includes none of my communities. Now to get my communities list I have to tap a More button in the left - which is difficult to reach on an iPhone 12 Max - to open a side pane that wasn’t loading until I opened and closed the app a bunch of times (suggested by an admin on r/Redditmobile). What’s even worse is that if I want to jump to another one of my communities I **cannot**. I’m forced to tap the arrow in the top of the screen to exit the community, then I have to tap the More button to open the pane AGAIN, and then I can scroll to my desired community. The extra tap is annoying and frustrating. I wish these forced changes were optional so I could sidestep these weird choices whatever leaders at Reddit are forcing because they want to increase engagement in more boring normie communities that may have more ads.

Perfect App. Reddit is the best social media app available out of every single social media app that the majority of the population uses, like even though TikTok is very main stream right now, it can get really old, always seeing the same videos and what not, but Reddit however is like a fresh breath of air, constantly updated, pages for every single content out there- literally anything you can think of and you want to see wether it’s just a hobby, something funny, wanting to learn new stuff or even just people fighting, wanting to find something new, or you are curious legit anything you can think of you will be able to find a Reddit page for it, I never have any issues with Reddit— no lagging, no connection issues, I never seen the same videos over and over again, the app is super easy to use and learn so no excuses to not have the app unless you just really don’t want to download it or have an account, you can just go through Reddit with a guest account aswell, perfect app! Deserves all 5 stars I gave it, keep doing you reddit !! 😁😁😁☺️

reddit still requires work in a lot of areas. I downloaded reddit for the pure enjoyment of having some place to post and interact with different communities. However, I noticed when receiving a follower you don’t have the option of “knowing” who follows you but you get a notification saying that person followed you. It’s annoying not being able to see who interacts with your posts from time to time or who follows you. Another thing is inbox messages you can’t delete them from your reddit inbox meaning they’ll stay there until you delete your account completely. Wish that wasn’t the case but sadly that’s how reddit is, the app isn’t really successful in managing followers like you can easily remove them on instagram or check who’s following you. Spam bots follow but you can’t get them to unfollow you which is ridiculous. Although I love reddit and the platform because you can post anonymously on reddit posts. I wish they’d focus on the important things of the app, like managing inbox messages and managing your followers or remove followers from your profile without deleting your account.

Coolest people and App. You get to Scroll through Weird Avatars some Reptilian features some Asian,some Bohemian like all with different colors. I found it took too long to match up the character Avatar and the Colors I wanted but was Happy to find One I could deal with. So then you anonymously search vast subjects your interested in. Because you believe No One Can Identify You, You can be Free to Tell the Truth about something and that is so needed today when some people and some in powerful positions are telling us what we can say and what we can’t. Why do some people want to have total control over others? We don’t become our Best Self without the Freedom to Think outside the Box. Respect others perspectives. Sure some have decided to strictly stay true to their own convictions, culture, or education, but we can all learn something from each other from personal experiences that can be told on a Social Media platform that won’t shame you, or threaten to cancel you. We Become Better at Being Human when we remember we are All Humans Being.

Where are my communities?. Well, it finally happened - I finally ditched the official Reddit app for a Reddit client. A lot of users have had issues with many of the updates and general usability of the official app over the last couple of years but I hung in there. The final straw for me was when an update released a couple of weeks ago made it so my communities no longer display and it times out whole searching for them. I researched it, and others are experiencing the same thing which has been reported to Reddit but no fix has been provided in the handful of subsequent updates. I tried out a few other options and landed on an app that is reminiscent of Reddit’s glory days, complete with a responsive developer who interacts with the community and updates the app based on suggestions from actual users. Sorry Reddit, I love the platform but your app has degenerated so much I’ve decided it’s time to go - I’m leaving you for a third party app. Even if this bug were to be fixed and you change your ways, I’m happy with my new crush and don’t foresee myself coming back to you. It was fun while it lasted and I’ll look back on those years fondly, but you’ve changed for the worst - best of luck to you and your developers. Off I go, to spend time with my new Reddit squeeze :)

Mods have too much power. The way Reddit works essentially is that anyone can claim a subreddit that isn’t already taken and create their own mod team. This means if you don’t want people to talk about baseball cards and you are the first person to get the subreddit r/baseballcards you can essentially shut down any conversation from ever happening about the subject on the platform. Not only that, if they actually want to let people talk about it they can police and ban them w/o giving any reason meaning subreddits often become home to power hungry mods who ban you for disagreeing with them even if not directly. Reddit has no problem with this because the site is big enough that the people effected don’t make enough noise to cause problems for the rest of the users nor do they have any form of recourse. They can appeal to the mod team of the subreddit but they will more than likely end up talking to the person who banned them. You can appeal directly to the Reddit mod team but like I said, they won’t care because as a mod you can ban anyone for any reason so they will say they aren’t breaking any rules. And don’t fool yourself if you are thinking this kind of degenerate mod behavior is exclusive to political subs and the like, it is every corner of reddit. The mods have too much power so of course it goes to their heads. There needs to be some kind of standard mods are held to, it has completely ruined the website.

Updated Video UI Is the Last Straw. The app functions relatively well, but Reddit developers have - over time - regressed the UI of their mobile app. It started with the increasing frequency of ads and subreddits oh don’t follow thrown into your feed.. then the Reddit Public Access Livestream starts showing up every five posts. For multiple versions now, the interplay between clicking a Reddit link in your mobile browser and it asking if you want to open it in the app has been broken. Instead of opening the Reddit app, it simply takes you to the Reddit App page on your phone’s App Store, not actually opening the app. Eventually the comment threading gets worse, and now they made the video playback and interaction UI so painfully incompetent I now must find a different app to browse Reddit. If I click on the “comments” below the video, I should be taken to the comments, not this frustratingly clunky video playback interface that takes multiple taps to get what you need. This is what happens when you insist your developers keep changing things instead of keeping a solid design and bug fixing/maintaining.

To be honest. I’m going to be honest so those who are thinking of getting this app know the truth.I have this app because I like to post my photography and basically my life. I use it as my own personal blog but it’s full of creeps in pedophiles and people who don’t know how to respect women.I posted a picture of my I photography with my boyfriend in the picture and I got tons of messages calling me a bunch of names because I simply had a boyfriend in my picture. You have to be careful what you post because it could “upset” someone. As far as the creeps and pedophiles I posted a picture of me and a dress that I really liked (it wasn’t anything tight it was literally a sundress) and I got tons of creepy messages and unsolicited pictures. So if you’re still thinking of getting this app I just be careful what you post and what you say because there is so much sensitive people on there. Other than that it’s a good place to promote your photography and other businesses that you have. And there are some good people that like to support and help you so it’s not A terrible app all the way.

New update is broken and frustrating. After the new 2022 update where they removed the communities tap and put in a discovery tab is just annoying. I’m still not use to it. I keep clicking it trying to get to my communities by mistake. I already follow all the communities I want to, and if I want to find a new community for an interest, I just search it in the search bar. Plus the “drawer” for my communities does not work. Every time I click it, it doesn’t load anything. So basically I haven’t even been able to use Reddit for the past few weeks since the update. No point in using the app till this problem is fixed. The Communities tab needs to go back down to the hot bar. And the discovery tab should be moved elsewhere. Maybe it can pop up after selecting the search bar. That way if someone wants to search for new communities, they can get recommendations under the search bar before they start typing. Also bring back the alphabet select for communities we follow. It makes searching through 100+ communities easier. Summary: new update is broken and can’t access my communities drawer because nothing loads. And the new discovery tab that replaced the communities tab needs to be moved elsewhere, and the communities tab needs to go back down to the bottom for quick access.

Zero Customer Service. I was actually a huge fan of Reddit. I frequently purchased coins to give away fake internet awards, I purchased many of their collectibles and I finally started paying for premium. I much preferred Reddit over other social media apps like Discord and Twitter, but that all changed thanks to my experience these last few months. I was just before my two year cake day and ended up with something I’m told is an “IP ban” a ban evasion that never occurred because I was no longer banned in the sub at the time the comments were made. It all started after I was unbanned from a community and as soon as I posted my first comment in that sub, I received a temporary ban. After the temp ban was over, I reached out to the subreddit mods and to support to make sure that I was officially in the clear to make comments in that sub again. The mods said I was fine, but Reddit support never responded. I took a chance and made a comment on that sub again and, boom….permanent ban. I have made multiple requests to support with zero response, other than “the ban stands”. It’s as if nobody is reading or investigating what I have been explaining. Any reasonable person could look at the evidence I am providing (screen shots from the mods) and see that the permanent ban was in error.

The Real Problem. So I’ve been on Reddit for around a week and I really loved it! The community was great and there was a lot to do there until recently. One day I went on and seemed to not be able to comment or post anything. I then found out a thing called being Shadowbanned which is what reddit dose to people if they break there rules. I find this reasonable as there needs to be a moderated platform for people. I looked more into it and went to the subreddit r/shadowban to see if I was shadowbanned and turns out I was. I then took the past 30 mins to got though the comments and posts I ever made and didn’t see anything. Of course if I got shadowbanned I have to happen to break the rules somehow, so I went to the mods them self’s to not be unshadowbanned but more of what I did wrong. Unfortunately to the dismay of me they never replied so I sent them any message asking kindly what I have done. The same thing happened and to this day I still don’t know why I got shadowbanned. Though all of this I’ve made 3 accounts and all shaowbanned trying to to break the rules, one of those accounts I literally made only 3 comments. I never written a Apple review before but this app has gotten me so upset I had to write a review. Reddit needs to implement something for people and get there acted together if they ever want me back again, I’m really disappointed with everything they did.

This is what the internet would be if it was censored. I would rate 0 stars but then it wouldnt show up, this app is terrible, i cant even view a discussion thread without being forced to download this app and i dont want it, the administrators are all politically biased power trippers who force you to dance to their tune, or you get banned, its like an echo chamber. If you arent an extreme leftist and you try to have a serious discussion on a political subreddit, you will be banned, if you try to dispute the ban they will ignore you, if you tell them to perm ban you from the garbage subreddit they will ban you from the whole app for harassment, the moderators have too much power and no repercussions for misusing it, you can be banned for literally anything if they deem it so, the only thing this community is good for is video game discussions or help, everything else is biased and subjective, people call ifunny the forbidden app, but atleast you have more rights there than here

A Decade of Reddit: My Go-To App for Entertainment, Information, and Community. I've been using Reddit for over 10 years now and it's honestly been a game-changer for me. Not only has it been a source of entertainment and information, but it's also connected me with a community of like-minded individuals who have become friends and even a support system for me. What I love about Reddit is that it truly has something for everyone. No matter what your interests are, there is a subreddit for it and a group of people who are passionate about the same things. It's a place where I can have meaningful discussions and learn about new perspectives and ideas. But it's not just about the content on Reddit. The app itself is user-friendly and constantly improving. I've never had any major issues with it and the updates always bring new features and improvements. Overall, Reddit has been a integral part of my life for the past decade and I can't recommend it enough. If you're someone who loves to learn, connect with others, and be entertained, then Reddit is the app for you. Thank you to the team at Reddit for creating such an amazing platform. Edit: Fix the issue where when im on safari and click on a Reddit link it takes me to the App Store. I have Reddit downloaded!!! Stop making it unintuitive.

Great mobile experience that needs to be tuned for iPad. I’ve been using Reddit on iPhone for the better part of six years, and just recently got an iPad, so I’ve started using the app on here as well. I hope a developer actually sees this review because I think this small adjustment can really do wonders for the iPad experience as more and more people are using the iPad as their proper daily computer, either for work or leisure. I think the portrait orientation of the app is fine, but landscape just has so much wasted screen space. I think that extra space can be used to be more like the desktop version of Reddit to give the iPad a more unique experience rather than just feeling like an upscaled iOS version for iPadOS. There’s plenty of space in the left (or right) margin to utilize the profile menu that is normally hidden, as well as using the other margin for in-subreddit sidebars. I know concerns about a congested screen can make that seem like a bad idea, but I believe it’s something to at least try to really round out an otherwise great mobile app.

Falsely Accused, Permanently Suspended. My account has been permanently suspended for supposedly posting something sexually suggestive toward a minor. Browse the few comments I’ve made, admin, because I haven’t made any posts, only comments here and there. I’ve deactivated my account because I’ve gotten no acknowledgement from actual staff in regards to my appeal or any of the other times I tried contacting them regarding this false accusation. The Reddit app itself won’t even allow me to sign out. It keeps reading “error”. I’m also thoroughly disappointed that anyone can troll your account and make false reports without admin looking into it. I’ve had all my privileges taken away for no good reason, and I tried to work with them to restore my account to no avail. If I ever get back on Reddit, I’ll truly be afraid to post/comment/upvote on ANYTHING for fear that the trolls will win and destroy my new account. They win on Reddit, at least. This was my favorite app, now it makes me angry and disheartened.

Confusing premise. Reddit seems like it doesn’t know what it wants to be. Is it a social media site where you can share posts with friends? Apparently not. They take their internet “karma” points so seriously that if you interact with the same posts and comments as your friends and family, Reddit will flag all of your accounts as voter manipulation. This especially occurs if the people are using the same wifi. Reddit has serious issues with revenge P, bullying, and misinformation, yet it appears in their agenda to go after small families with warnings and suspensions for upvoting the same comments. A website/company that goes after their small users for sharing posts with their immediate family is not one that I want to recommend to others. And, a company that cannot separate true vote manipulation - ie bots and software - from a family socializing and bonding over Reddit posts, is a site that needs to reevaluate whether it is a social site at all. They apparently desire to control people’s lives outside of the app and expect all users to remain anonymous even to their own family member’s accounts. So what kind of social media platform/forum is Reddit?

“View site in app” doesn’t work. Reddit is by far one of the best and most useful sites in the web. Whenever I’m searching for an answer to a hard-to-word question, including “reddit” in the search terms always reveals a ton of better answers than the ads & lists which make up most google results. The Reddit app is a different case altogether. Whenever I try the above approach on my phone, the site promises “this page looks better in the app.” Even with it already installed, these links just go to the App Store, rather than opening that page in the Reddit app. This just makes the whole thing feel useless - searching Reddit directly isn’t particularly accurate, so I end up just trying to ignore the button and view the results in the browser. The issue isn’t so much with the app as with those links. They’re essentially just one big redirect to the App Store, rather than something useful which automatically opens that page in the Reddit app (and only goes to the store if the app is not installed). This may seem like a little thing, but it also seems like an easy fix, and the fact that I run into this almost every day makes all of those little irritations really add up.

Update: Bugs. New: I am really unhappy with the bugs in the updated version in the app. In certain subreddits that I am active in, I can no longer sort by “New”. The “New” sorting button is completely broken. My settings are set to sort by New, and my communities are set to automatically sort by new, but this feature no longer works. I can see the newest posts in the communities I am in on Safari, but I can no longer see them on the app. Once fixed, I’ll update my rating because I’ve been on Reddit for years and this is my favorite source of Social Media. Hopefully this will be fixed soon because this is a huge issue, and judging from other reviews, I am not the only one having this problem. Previous Review: I have been using the Reddit app for quite a while now, and I love it. There are so many great features, and the process is very smooth. The application is also very easy to use, and the admins are always very helpful if any issues arise. This is 100% the best app I have ever used. If I could request an addition to anything, I would say more customizable avatars for purchase and to bring back power ups, but this is definitely no downside to having the app. It’s my favorite!

Stop showing so many “suggested” posts. 1 out of every 4 posts on my “Home” tab is a suggested post from some other subreddit. I don’t want to follow those subreddits. If I did, I would follow them. I am aware other subreddits exist, you don’t need to put them in my Home tab which is supposed to be curated to show the content I want to see. Just because Twitter/Facebook/etc. doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. If you’re going to add this feature at least add some way to turn it off. It just seems like some product manager wanted to get some sort of metric up, and not providing any sort of actual value to users. Edit: the product manager must be at it again to get some KPIs up. I keep getting notifications about suggested posts now in my notifications tab, despite saying I don’t want to see notifications like that. What is the point? If I wanted to see new posts I would GO TO THE TAB WITH NEW POSTS. If I wanted to see suggestions I would GO TO THE TAB WITH SUGGESTIONS. I do not need to be notified when someone makes a new post in a subreddit I follow. I know. Because I am usually looking at the tab THAT DISPLAYS NEW POSTS. What part of the app is safe from suggestions? Settings? But for how long?

Let’s talk about the app itself, and not the website. Honestly I’d have to recommend that anyone installing Reddit for the first time find a different app to use it. Long time Reddit users have almost always hated the official app, but I never really understood their problem with it. I liked the UI, and there were a bunch of useful QoL features that other Reddit apps didn’t have. That is no longer the case. ~1.5 years ago every update started breaking or outright stripping those features. They’re always small changes. No one change really makes that big of an impact. Things like no longer being able to change the view (card, normal, compact) on search results, the weird comment ‘tray’ that prevents you from swiping horizontally between posts, the endless compatibility issues with various embedded video hosting sites, etc. The official app isn’t as broken as some people make it out to be. However, I still advise that new users not climb onboard the sinking ship. Any features you like/get used to in the official app will be removed before long, and there will be no way to get it back. Find an app made by a 3rd party that factors community feedback into development decisions.

Now requires account to follow. I’m not really into social media due to the lack of privacy and mundane content. Reddit is the most I do. I really liked that I could follow more positive, uplifting feeds and as a result didn’t have to stroll thru everything. Since it was updated (the previous one, not the one 5 days ago), now it asks you to create an account to follow specific feeds. I don’t know if you can still view only your chose feeds cuz I don’t care to create an account when I didn’t have to before. Looking at Reddit in its entirety influences me negatively, hence the reason I only followed Calvin & Hobbes, Earth Porn, Humans Being Bros, and Animals Being Bros. Before the update, Reddit started with my feed and I had the option to view Popular. Now all you have is Popular and News. I gave the new update a try for over two months but now I find myself feeling anxious or angry after strolling Reddit, just as I used to do before I began following more positive feeds only. Creating an account may be a simple matter for many but it’s not for me. To me it’s another way for tech to have some of your private information when it’s not necessary. I don’t do comments or votes so why should I have to sign in? So after giving the new Reddit a try, I’ve decided it’s best for me to delete it.

Somebody Janked Up iOS Users Posting This Update. Sooooo... I literally CAN NOT post anywhere now because I am getting the message "Not Allowed In This Community" on every single subreddit. I can comment, vote, give awards, and even spend currency on your app without any issue... ??!!BUT I CAN'T POST ANYWHERE BECAUSE YOUR iOS APP IS MAKING ME AS EITHER NSFW OR SOMETHING ALONG THAT LINES THAT'S LEFT ME BARRED FROM DOING THE ONE THING I USE REDDIT FOR!!?? It's not just myself but also many other iOS users whom are experiencing the exact same problem with no response, fix in app, tech support, or an update to fix this MAJOR BUG. If you aren't aware of this issue by now then you should be. An I can go figure you are all well aware; but you just don't care unless it is affecting a large majority, all users, or could hinder the income of this lazy but more than capable to be a better company regardless of current worth it should/could be... Money and Power must truly be something... Because every company that is built on a foundation of users like myself; every last one of these companies have forgotten why they are running a social networking community to begin with. For the user becomes a thing of the past... Every time... An it becomes ALL ABOUT HOW MUCH MORE OF A PERCENT THEY CAN NET NEXT ROUND

Banned for no reason. This app is so sensitive. I got heavily downvoted then BANNED PERMANENTLY for saying ‘I think you need to read the post again..’ which the person did.. He asked a question that was ANSWERED IN THE POST and was heavily informed about that exact question. And since I got downvoted hard, and I guess some people reported me, I got banned. I tried to make another account but they banned that one too. I’m scared that they banned my IP address because my mom uses Reddit and I don't want her account to get banned just because mine did.. I looked up this issue and this is a HUGE problem on reddit. You literally can’t have your own opinion on this app, or say anything that will POSSIBLY upset people. And if you do, its downvotes, downvotes, downvotes. Then it will be led by subreddit banning or permanent banning. I can understand if someone was being racist, homophobic or just disrespectful. But I see the simplest comments get downvoted. One time, on r/aww it was a video of a woman with her dog at the gym and the dog was being cute or whatever. Some people were wondering why she was allowed to have a dog at the gym so someone answered saying, “She owns the gym, so thats why the dog is there:)” and it had -30 DOWNVOTES??!! WHY?! People on that app are SO sensitive! And they were right!! I looked it up and she did own the gym! And guess what? I tried to click on their account and it was banned. Probably for literally just that one comment. Do better Reddit.

Reddit Mobile Meh.. VoiceOver no longer reads long posts or comments, and by long I mean not long at all.⠀––⠀The awful scroll button that teleports you through the replies when you don't tap anywhere near it is back.⠀––⠀You can't unhide posts from within them.⠀––⠀You can't subscribe to video posts.⠀––⠀When reporting posts/comments, selecting any option other than "Breaks r/[subreddit]'s rules" or "Hate" causes the Next/Submit Report button to disappear.⠀––⠀Haven't been able to crosspost to my profile for >2 years. Reddit Support won't answer me, other than an automated message saying to reinstall the app...which doesn't work. My iPad doesn't even show the crosspost option within posts.⠀––⠀The reel layout for videos is annoying.⠀––⠀Pressing down for nearly a second (say, while scrolling) collapses the entire comment thread. If it's a long thread I can't find where I was.⠀––⠀Sometimes clicking to view more replies on a comment puts me in the replies of a different thread on that post, and it does this until I leave the post and come back.⠀––⠀Most of my other complaints are with Reddit in general. Like not being able to add captions to single pictures, not being able to unarchive profile posts, etc.

I’m new to Reddit. I joined Reddit because I have acquired an interest in the JonBenet Ramsey’s case. It’s an old case, but all the information is new to me. Reddit seems to have the best leads of interest. I’m learning a lot of. However, there are a few things that irk me. I would like to be able to “like” certain posts, but because they are over one year old, I can’t. Nor can I even comment non older posts. I would like to be able to rekindle some posts. It’s a bit frustrating. Additionally. I can’t seem to post on certain subreddits. Equally aggravating. I personally want to learn more about the less read takes on subjects. And apparently Reddit has an aversion to conspiracy theories (as some see them). Too bad. It took hours of reading to find the authors who are talking about things I suspect to be true about this case. Overall, I’m enjoying Reddit as A source. It’s nice to find people who have already done research on things that seem to be new to me

Very sensitive community/should have better guidelines. You can’t even state your own opinion with out getting bashed even if it is valid. People make hate pages about other people and im sure it says that you are not supposed to support any sort of bullying or harassment or send links or @ other people and screenshots. The community is just full of sad and awful people who think they know everything and say they want to make the world a better place but then make snark pages about people just because they view the world differently or have a different opinion. So many people get away with nasty hateful things on this platform to where it is worse than tiktok and twitter combined. Honestly the way the app is advertised makes it seem like a wonderful community and so supportive but in reality everyone on their brings u down. No wonder why so many people are depressed on this platform the whole thing is full of hate and ugliness. I don’t know if the owners or people that run the platform know what really happens on their but they should have alot more control on what is said and posted on their just like other platforms. There are seriously older adults on their along with probably minors that talk horribly about one another. The whole community is just horrible its self literally can’t even scroll down without seeing a post hating on someone; just full of so many sad people that think they are doing something right in the world.

Please let me remove the scroll button!. Overall the app is quite good. Very fluid, easy to navigate to my favorite subreddits quickly; basically does everything I’d expect from a Reddit client. HOWEVER, there is one feature that drives me absolutely batty. The scroll button. You know the one. The one where you accidentally click it and it sends you to the bottom of the thread you’re currently reading. There is already a perfectly good feature for this: pressing and holding on the screen collapses the current top-level comment and all child comments. I have had this app since the day it came out and have never, not once, pressed that button on purpose. Most of the time I just stick it in the top right corner and it stays out of the way, where it still creates a minor visual annoyance, but if that was all that happened I would not be writing this review. No, not only can I not get rid of it, it won’t even stay where I put it. Every so often, the button will jump back to its default location, and will not let me move it above that height on the screen. It’s annoying, it’s USELESS, because as I said there is already a feature that accomplishes the same thing, and I can’t remove it. Absolutely horrible feature. Please remove it from the app or at the very least give me an option to remove it. As it stands this app is two stars. Remove this infernal button and it will be five.

Worse All The Time. If I want to seek out new subreddits, I will do that. If I’m curious what videos other users are watching, I will find out. But when I launch Reddit, I want to see the feed I’ve curated for myself first and foremost. The ads are awful enough. Reddit’s suggestions only add to the clutter. That I can disable these suggestions is beside the point. I am able to decide for myself what I want to see and participate in. Even more frustrating are the icons at the top of my feed that notify me there are live audio conversations in various subreddits. Although I’d disabled every so-called feature that seemed remotely related, I could not rid myself of these icons. I wondered, did I have to visit each individual subreddit to disable these? Are they permanent UI fixtures? The answer to the last, according to a comment on a changelog post, is yes. For now, at least, and for too long. The team “will be building a toggle” to opt out of the live bar. They implemented the feature and didn’t bother to provide users a choice in whether to participate. They’ll get around to that. Create separate feeds for suggestions and live dialogue, put them beside Popular and News, fine. I’ve no doubt some percentage of the user base are interested. But don’t opt in on my behalf.

Avoid at all costs. Apple didn’t post my original review and this needs to be read. I’ve used Reddit for quite some time, usually just browsing through topics. The ONE time I shared my own personal experience with wanting advice about cutting off a sibling, Reddit refused to post it. Not only that, but I got an incredibly nasty message from a modifier saying I didn’t use a “trigger warning” and that I’m not allowed to talk about what someone else does. So essentially, I was not allowed to discuss reasons I felt my sibling was not a good person? I got a permanent ban. Meanwhile, there are posts on there about illegal substance usage, people cheating on spouses, and worse..I can’t share a story about growing up with a sibling I don’t get along with??? I’ve since deleted Reddit. There is NO free speech on that platform and the cowardly modifiers have absolutely no lives with far too much “power” behind their computer screens. I will never use their website and deleted my account after giving a piece of my mind to the modifier. If you’re considering this app, don’t. Run the other way, find another community. You will be censored if you try to contribute to a conversation.

Needs block filter URGENTLY. Dear Reddit creators, I have used Reddit for many years as a means to connect with other people of similar communities but the lack of a block filter has become increasingly annoying. To my knowledge there is no way to block a subreddits content from MY feed without upgrading to premium. There are many things I’d rather not see on Reddit when I’m simply scrolling through my gaming communities looking for updates and such. I have seen something so disgusting today I’ve had to delete Reddit all together due to the mental health crisis it spiraled me into. As someone who has dealt with crippling mental illness for years and spent countless days in therapy working through problems, having one single post set me back months on my progress is unacceptable. I know I’m not the only person who is suffering from this. All I want is to be able to see feeds from the subs I have joined so I don’t risk my mental health while looking at a thread of Pokémon related content. Do better! And just an added touch, NSFW content does not cover many of the things that I have been personally triggered by in subs I am not a part of nor have I ever shown interest in.

Dark UX patterns. Reddit used to be great. It’s still really good, but the commercialization of it has pushed the need for growth and conversion. These metrics sound good to investors, so now we cannot see 18+ subreddits in a browser, you get forced to download the app (3rd party apps work normally, for now, I fully expect them to enforce a move to the official app soon though). At every turn you get lured into using the app. For the majority of redditors who just want to “read it” this is a dark pattern, as we don’t want to, but are being forced to download and use the app under the guise of a better experience. But we all know that companies can collect more data and metrics from apps, because most of us are savvy enough to use as blockers and DNS filters like NextDNS on our regular browsers. So Reddit itself gets four stars. This app gets 4 stars if you want it. The one star is for the overall experience of this app, as an unnecessary bloat to my phone, and overreach into my data forced by greedy investors, and the use of UX dark patterns. To the UX researchers and designers, come join us on Mixed Methods slack channel, because you need some education on how to push back to management—this won’t end well for Reddit imo.

CANT SWITCH ACCTS ON VIDEO POSTS. I am able to change accounts on text posts but not video posts, why the inconsistency? I’d lose the post if I have to leave it and then switch accounts, do you guys not have testing to see if features are not the same after a UI change, a feature of profile switching on video posts is just gone, hello QA, business stakeholders, and devs you guys know exactly what you’re doing when you submit the PR with this kind of an update. Also, I’ve always hated the new details “view” of a video post. I constantly have to fight reading comments or seeing the video, the old view was just fine, let me scroll down on comments and return to video freely, I don’t want to be locked in. I mean, who is designing the UI/UX, it’s terrible, seriously. I use Reddit for it’s simplicity, lately not so much. The new redesigned UI/UX no one asked for, god especially on a web client. My initial pull to Reddit was for the simplicity of the UI. The 90s/00s internet vibes used to be real in Reddit, nice clean bare minimalistic UI, fast and easy to navigate. This app and the web client is clunky and annoying.

Stupid gif playing. Currently the app likes to open some gifs like their livestream content. Meaning, swiping moves to the next stream, and not the next post in the subreddit. Extremely annoying. Gif continues playing when viewing comments (most annoying when their is sound). Gifs auto play with sound even though I have the setting set as never auto play (probably for videos, but this should apply to gifs, especially with sound). Keep them separate from the livestream interface which is annoying as heck. Maybe it’s not livestream, but directly uploaded videos hosted on Reddit. IDK. But the interface disrupts a smooth browsing experience. Don’t make it a separate interface. Just make it like it was. Gifs and videos should not be like the livestream interface. That should just be thrown out, since it bumps you to content other than what sub you were on when you try to swipe for the next post. Try it. Click on a video/ gif. It’ll be the broadcast interface allowing you only to swipe up or down to the next broadcast. You can swipe to it and it’ll be like normal from the previous post. FIX IT. Broadcast navigation is terrible. Stop pushing it. It’s so disruptive I am switching to Apollo until it is fixed.

cannot switch from safari to app. often , i will be googling questions or whatnot when a reddit thread shows up. when i click on the link to reddit, a pop-up opens and i cannot view the post in safari because it tells me to read it in the app. there is no X out button, so i usually click the “go to app” option. despite having downloaded the app, it brings me to the app store. instead of the downloaded app icon, it says “OPEN.” when i click the “OPEN” button it just brings me to the general feed of the app instead of the post i was trying to read. it is very irritating, as i cannot even read the thread on safari because of the pop-up. this does not happen with any other app i’ve used (twitter, instagram, tumblr, facebook, etc.) all other apps bring me straight to the page i was looking at. additionally, in terms of notifications, i find it annoying that if i look at one thread from a subreddit i did not join, i am given daily notifications for new posts. the notifications from subreddits do not happen with ones that i DID join, and i’d like to be notified about those more than the ones that i just glanced at.

Reddit has been a good app until now. I love this app, I really do but when the developers made it so when you tap a photo or a video it goes to this different player that when you scroll up it goes to a random video from a subreddit that you haven’t joined. I mean yes I know why that it was changed to do that, so you can have more variety on watching similar content. For awhile I got passed that for videos by taping a photo and swiping to the left to get to the video but now in a recent update they made it so taping on photos does the same thing with videos which at least for me it really annoying. I know just me saying this won’t get anything changed so I’m hoping that other people agree with me or at least make it a setting to change it back to the way it was before you changed it to what you have now for a video player. Adding this after making this review, also why did the developers get rid of the sorting system that they had to change it to new, hot, top, or controversial it’s just bad app design to get rid of these things that people love about Reddit but changing it to this, I’m not really mad just annoyed and kinda disappointed in the developers on getting rid of the sort option and changing the video player

I love Reddit but this app man…. I don’t understand why I can’t do broad searches within the Reddit app but rather have to search it in safari. Although frustrating, I have gotten used to having to google search my questions/communities BUT what really begins to frustrate me is that when I search in safari, 99% of the time I have to open it in app to view the posts which is always such a process. I have to click “take me to app” and it always takes me to the App Store- it never actually opens in app. Then, what’s even more annoying is there are so many updates that before I can even enter the app I have to wait for the app to update for the millionth time. And mind you, I search for answers on Reddit more than I probably should so I have to do this process of updating the app and then click at least 5 times to take me to the app before it even opens in the app!! Like it doesn’t register the first few times and just takes me to the App Store where I press “open” only to be brought to the main Reddit feed and not what I searched for. So while I am unable to read it on safari I am also unable to read it in the app. Super frustrating! I love Reddit I just feel like this shouldn’t be an issue so I’m hoping someone sees this to make the app more user friendly!

Fix the Bottom Bar Please!. Writing a review hoping this gets fixed so I can change the rating to five stars. The app will randomly change the orientation of the tabs at the bottom of the screen. Sometimes the app will open with my home page and five buttons at the bottom with the notifications on the far right, which is ideal. However, sometimes it opens to the world news tab and instead of a notifications tab, there is one that says “more” with three dots, where I can then click on notifications from a menu. Not only is this an annoying extra couple steps, there is no need for it since there is nothing else. On top of that, when I view my notifications this way, I cannot get to my profile in the same notifications tab. I can bring up the sidebar while viewing notifications, but when I click on my profile it just returns to my notification feed. Thought it was something that surely would have gotten caught and fixed quickly but the app was updated two days ago and this is still happening.

The video player is impossible to use. The video player has recently been updated and is now completely impossible to use on iPhone. The scrub bar is so low that you cannot scrub through a video without exiting the app! How did that get through testing?! Not to mention that when you click on ‘comments’ for some reason it takes you to a full screen video instead of taking you to, you know… THE COMMENTS. Why?! And the videos won’t load full screen, you have to exit back out to watch the video. Have your developers gone on holiday and you’ve replaced them with particularly dexterous goldfish?

Great with problems. The website is great the format is simple and easy to understand and it’s a good idea to have different places for different conversations but the mods are kinda dumb, I got banned for writing a harmful comment when the post itself is more harmful than my comment and there’s no way to get unbanned unless it was a mistake witch it stupid since you could have committed something years ago and get banned for it when you wrote it when you were a dumb teen this is only one of the many other dumb things that the I see the mods doing.

Not user friendly. First time user. I’ve had an account for 20 minutes. I made an account thinking I could quickly get a question answered about a video I have. Very disappointed. I can’t post my video in the big communities. The small communities allow me to post my video but they are dead. I found a large community in which I could post the link to the video I posted in the smaller community, but moderators removed my post because supposedly it is a question and does not belong there. Mods suggested another community for me to post my question, but this community does not allow me to post links or videos... absolute waste of time.

Reddit Is incredible. You all should know that, so instead of reviewing the service I'm reviewing the mobile application, it works great. I came from a state of thinking that revolved around me being biased towards pc, thinking the mobile version of reddit would be terrible and un-optimised, it is neither of those things it works perfectly!! Why the 4 stars? Merely because to alter some settings you need to do that from the desktop site, which it redirects you to, this may be a hinderance or merely an annoyance to some mobile users.

Filter option in search bar presents issues. Unfortunately the filter option doesn’t always appear in the search bar while browsing subreddits, making it impossible to organise. When it does appear, the “hitbox” for it is so small that the app usually thinks I want to look up something else through the search bar rather than filter my current search. Not only that, but the Home page hasn’t been running smoothly lately. I’m often getting “Can’t reach Reddit” messages even though I can still look through different subs.

Glitch galore. Reddit is great, but the app is not. I have had glitches all the time, it’s a complete nuisance. The main one is my profile, it often zeroes out everything and says that it can’t load. So I can’t find my old posts and comments. The karma and Reddit age both go to zero. Also! I posted something that has completely disappeared. Please fix the glitches on the iOS app.

A place for the wise and their sheep. Absolutely love the unique dynamic of reddit, The first person to write the best comment gets praised and then more join the band wagon to farm a somewhat imaginary form of social (cyber) status. Get a unique customisable mini you, and everyone is most often genuine and interesting. You feel somewhat achieved on here when you create a post, and actually receive praise or criticisms. On other social media or reality often someone will criticises you for a negative reason, within reddit it is often genuine insight insight, and if you disagree with their point you can usually have a decent debate without issues of creating a toxic environment. There is just a dynamic freedom within reddit that no other interactive media site have been able to replicate. Incognito from reality whilst staying plugged in.

Service Review. While most reviews here are about the app itself (which makes plenty of sense), this one is for those of you wanting to dive in to the world of Reddit. Ever since downloading and starting up an account on Reddit, I have essentially culled all other forms of social media since nothing feels as entertaining and as relevant to me. Reddit is filled with communities of like minded people who share things relevant only to the community itself - follow as many as you like and have a homepage filled with things that interest YOU. Comments and posts are rated by the community, the highest rated being featured up top and the lowest rated down the bottom. This means most of what you read are of high quality - either intelligent, witty, funny or generally interesting comments and posts. Get it. Download it and make an account. Be your best, witty self and share relevant things with people who share common interests with you.

What a shame. I love reddit, I spend inordinate a Libra of time daily there. Well I did. The new app is full of poor choices that seem to have been done to transform it into TikTok. The video player is now broken, scrolling through casually is broken, reading comments on videos broken. Can’t even pause a video while scrolling. The whole design is just not user friendly now. Then the annoying notifications to join subs or to like posts whenever you purposely didn’t in the first place. Disappointing that Reddit didn’t listen or engage their users. I use Reddit because I expect more, expect better than other social networks. There has not been one single post about liking the updates. Go check out r/redditmobile.

Reddit trying to force use of application?. Why is it that I can view content media on the front page but as soon as I expand onto the context feed it’s suddenly “mature content”… I already watched the mature content without issue but can’t view the comments. I.e watched a individual commit suicide via cyanide but heavens forbid I read the comments… Either someone at Reddit is a moron or it’s being used as a way to force the use of the application. I’m inclined to believe the latter. The mods and general Reddit policies are horrible. The site never use to be so restrictive until the last few years. The there’s the whole shadow banning stunt, thank god for VPN’s.

Reddit is stupid and I love it. Think about the wide range of people and interesting personalities… are they gone? Good, get out of here while you still can. It is to late for me but you can save yourself, throw you phone and pc away and join the armish, it’s the only way to avoid them. When you get there say that you are escaping the growth, they will know what to do. You will be safe there. Oh no, they have found me… run!

The front page of the internet. Reddit is called "the front page of the internet" for a reason - a global online community connecting people through issues, topics, interests, news, hobbies, films, TV, music and much more An interesting phenomenon that is a contemporary incarnation of Usenet - the text based forums from the early days of the internet. Reddit has something for everyone.

Inspiring as!. As this is only my second day using this app, I find it useful, as it can help me find questions to reality. I also like answering questions too! There is so much to explore. You can post things of your own, write questions, find answers! I would really like to see some more updates in the future, but for now they are really great! My advice is to keep the app updated as much as you could. Thank you for reading.

Broadly okay, but not a great experience. App reviewed on iPad. As a long time classic layout desktop user, the app, while perfectly functional, falls really short as a user experience. I don’t believe these are critical flaws with the app, but could be corrected and all would be well. It’s mostly an issue with layout and readability. The app makes zero use of the iPad screen. In portrait mode, opening a subreddit usually displays two (!) items in a space the could comfortably fit ten, one of which will invariably be an insultingly massive ad, with video auto play and very poor delineation between ads and actual posts. The general experience is just that, scroll, scroll, ad, ad, the real content gets lost to the eye.p and there’s no way to fix it. I understand much of this is subjective, but that’s the impression it leaves me with. Frustration, lack of options and poor layout. Oh, and notifications keeps ‘alerting’ me to random trending things I don’t want no matter how often I tell it I don’t want that. Is it a bug?

New “feature” is infuriating. Devs, this new “feature” that has the “Add a comment” bar at the bottom of your screen whenever browsing the comments section is INFURIATING. The amount of times I accidentally click it is obscene. It was so much better before where the bar was shown only when you swiped down, rather than it being there all the time. Please revert this back or at least give users the option to not have it there permanently. Review will change to a higher rating when this is fixed Edit: change has still not been fixed but have updated star rating because reddit is great

Lots of worthwhile subs but the mods are ruthless.. I enjoy reddit but it is fraught and filled with women wanting you to join their onlyfans, but there’s also wonderful, fulfilling and worthwhile subs like r/mademesmile . I just wish the mods on the various subs weren’t drunk with the power to silence other redditors. They love using the ban hammer! You won’t get a warning, you’ll be banned swiftly from any sub you might post in, and no amount of trying to work it out like adults will work. Most often your messages to explain your side will be ignored. If you are bothered by being downvoted for sharing your thoughts despite it not being in line with the majority of people, then yes, download this app. Perhaps Quora is more suitable, or even Imgur. Use at your own risk and if you have depression or anxiety, perhaps you should reconsider using this app.

Few Bug issues. I have noticed from past few updates that when I try to select going back to home page of the sub reddit from a photo or video it bugs out not allow me or when I want to view comments of photo or video same thing it bugs out on me. It has done this on my iPhone and my iPad.

Not an original thought.. Reddit Inc once again showing their employees don’t have any idea what reddit is, that they don’t employ any UX engineers / designers and instead just try to clone the latest craze app into their own. This months update brings us the TikTok interface to navigating posts that have videos. Who needed to see comments anyway? Now all videos loop and the entire post is just a single button to open the video in full screen. If you try to swipe it away it just shows a different video instead. No more reading or engaging on reddit. Just blindly consume never ending videos instead because that’s apparently popular now.

Your Moderators Need to remain neutral. I love Reddit...BUT !! your Moderators are the worst. I am hoping someone will look into this as it's really killing your user base and there ability to speak from a left right or even a neutral standpoint. They take things personally and clearly target you if you offend them (which is easily done) Internal politics, bias targeting and threats to ban you for something minor and unintentional is a big downfall in any company, community or social platform. You end up feeling like your treading on eggshells afraid that you will offend a moderator. Some of your Moderators need to be taken down a peg or two as it's clear the power they have been given has gone to their heads. Aside from all the above Reddit to me is the best social platform, just needs to check those dudes (and dude-ets) a little more often. ✌️

One of the best free apps out there!. Reddit is one of the best apps out there in my opinion, it’s a place where everyone has a community to join, you can chill, discuss events happening all over be world, laugh at funny memes, get your mind blown, say “awww”, and meet new friends. I’m happy that Reddit is a place of free speech and doesn’t require a subscription or play unskippable ads every 10 seconds. 10/10 would definitely recommend. :D

New "buy coins" logo is gross.. The app as a whole is okay. Buggy with weird design choices but it was the first reddit app I used so I'm too used to it to change. However, as the company continues to come up with ways to monetise it gets worse and worse. First it was ads that you had to pay a subscribtion to remove. Then it was adding a million different ways to reward users with useless icons that cost actual money and in most cases offer nothing. The latest update added a big coin logo at the top of the front page next to the search bar just so you never forget that you can spend money to buy absolutely pointless "coins". Hilariously the icon is bigger than any of the reward icons actual posts get. And unlike regular reddit ads this icon begging you to spend money doesn't go away when you have gold. The glory days of Reddit are long behind us. That's reality. Every knew decision the company makes seems to be anti consumer however which leads me to believe that the platform won't plateau at mediocre, it will nose dive itself into becoming indistinguishable from any other social media platform.

Great!. My only complaint is the fact that I can neither see or write in the comments when the post is a video. It just brings the video up full screen and refuses to show anything to do with the comments. When it’s a picture, the comments work as they should. Would be lovely to fix this glitch, as it is highly annoying. Thanks

Good BUT. I love this app for the adult content but there’s a few issues -It’s easier to find posts on reddit through google search then reddit search -adult videos don’t have sound -page won’t refresh sometimes -to use grid view I have to refresh first -custom feeds are basically gone But you can find them if you save the link to your notes -no grid view on saved posts -comments can string on and on and on, without an option to “read more” it just has literally every comment open already… -Isn’t this website a huge mainstream social media? Disgraceful honestly.

The app itself is great. I use reddit a lot, whenever I get bored, it’s community sometimes isn’t very good but you gotta learn how to avoid them, it’s actual app is good to use I don’t really notice any problems when using it, though it would be nice if at the submit section of making a post they could make a small image editor so you can make a title or edits to the image to make posting a little easier. Overall though it’s good

Used to be great. Honestly just take this app around the back and end it’s misery. It’s crazy slow, the video player is a joke, it force closes every day, you got rid of the news tab, and on top of all that you somehow make it worse with every update. Pressing on the comments box shouldn’t full screen the video where I have to press the comments box again, and then swipe on a tiny little bar to minimise the now half screen video. So help you if you forget to mute the video before doing that too, as it’ll play on repeat while reading the comments. You care more about getting new accounts with a fresh, but not necessarily better, format. Well guess what happens when those teenyboppers grow up? Take a look at Facebook for an example. I would know, I was one of them. /rant Edit: and now they’ve replaced your subreddit list and added an ‘explore’ tab. If I wanted a tik tok clone I’d just download tik tok. You’re destroying the well-being of your user base.

Getting real sick of it.. Now, I have never written a review before and this is the only time I probably will but for Pete’s sake I am sick and tired of being flung half way up my page when ever I open any media. Photos, Videos, News Articles. ANYTHING I open flings me away from where I was on the page of the page rotates horizontally and it’s beyond a joke. Not to mention the power trip that moderators are on because they were given a measly Reddit page of power.

I love the app, here are some suggestions. I love reddit, the layout is great the content is as good as the internet can provide and the service is great. However I believe we should be able to get an in app NSFW button and an in app section to show us what email we are using, or at least a setting to change it in app. Recently I have had trouble and been in need of this as I have forgotten what one of my three main emails my account is linked to, and in the future I would like to be able to change it in app. this is a small thing but, because I have forgotten my password I can not log into the desktop site and enable nsfw. This has degraded my experience and made it a lot more of a hassle to use reddit and change my preference of nsfw items, thanks.

It’s decent. Just like the title says, I think the app (and by extension, the desktop site) are decent, however it has its flaws. Firstly, I get a notice saying “Sorry, can’t reach Reddit” every single time I start the app. I tried deleting and redownloading but I’m still having this issue. It also takes a very long time to load. Additionally, I don’t think this point will be taken into account at all but it’ll be nice if you considered it. Get rid of the downvote button. One thing I’ve noticed in particular is that users tend to use the downvote leisurely, rather than for the reason it’s there in the first place. It’s disheartening when posts that are made with good intentions get downvoted for unexplained reasons. On a more positive note, I’m completely addicted to this app (and site). It’s where I catch up on all the latest news within my fandoms!

One of the best time killers. I’m in love with this app. No one social media platform can gang up together so well, be it disliking emojis or Tik Tok. It’s so addictive, just scrolling and scrolling. It’s great for memes, news, politics and just plain cool stuff. The whole concept of having multiple little social media’s in your social media (or supreddits, as they are called) is genius. You can join the ones you enjoy to just see things you like, and with one swift swipe you’ll be in the popular tab, seeing what the rest of the world likes. I highly recommend downloading this app, and remember to always downvote ads!

10/10. Reddit... I have no words. It's amazing. Users anywhere and everywhere are able to post, vote and comment. I always laugh when I'm on reddit! I truly thing it's one of the best platforms ever! There's honestly nothing wrong with it! I've been reading negative reviews for a single reason which consists of the new notification feature! It is easily disabled in settings on the app. If you can't find it, one single Google search will show you how to disable the notifications. There's really no reason for all these negative reviews!

Better than Facebook. It's a easier to use, more personalised experience that makes you feel like part of a community instead of a mindless follower. The site is perfectly translated to the smooth app and it is often much more enjoyable to use than other social media, because it's more about news and events that are relevant to you than - well, the social aspect.

New logo. Hi so as a new update you have changed the logo colour to show that black lives matter, you will by most change change it back but I thing a good feature would be having the option to change imbeteween Colours (even if just black and orange) I would love to see this feature as no other apps let you do this (as far as I know could be wrong) and don’t know if it is possible, love your app, it has given me a reason to get up in the morning, thank you

Server Error. My thoughts on Reddit have been rather positive until today. I comment or post like I usually would with no issues until now. I have been logged out & unable to log back into my account, not being able to create a new account either. The issue that keeps popping up is a “server error” & to “try again later”. I’ve deleted the app, re-downloaded it & I’ve restarted my phone. I’ve tried to log in online since the app isn’t allowing me to & even there it’s saying “server error, try again later” You guys need to fix this bug, I’m afraid I’ve lost my account to this so please fix it.

Good app but needs tweaking. Love the app but you can't do certain things on it. You can't do certain things through the app that you can on the computer. My friend can't turn off NSFW shield to view certain pages for example. Also I don't like how you can't leave the app on a thread, page or post for hours or days etc. it switches back to the homepage after a few hours which gets annoying when you have to go search for it again. Why not just return where you left off like a computer would behave? Other than these little gripes it's a fine app

I’m getting awfully sick of some chump regularly changing the interface…. Note to Reddit staff… you don’t need to constantly update the interface and move stuff around just to make it a different version. Once again, that stupid horizontal scrolling list of subs I’m a part of is back after a 4-6 week stint of us having the alphabetical vertical list. Seriously, what the actual phark‽ What is the point of constantly forcing the switch between the two designs? Why not come up with some actual innovative features rather than doing the rubbish changes that we are constantly subjected to? Oh, and quit it with selling adverts to the gambling companies here in Australia. It is disgusting and you shouldn’t be a part of the normalisation of people wasting their incomes on betting. Do better.

I love you reddit!!. After deleting Facebook their was a void in my life, constantly refreshing news sites and endless scrolling of instagram just could never make quite the impact that I so desperately needed, then, I stumbled across reddit, it’s not as popular in my country as it is in the states, but after using it I can’t seem to figure out why! I am in love with the community, and I feel more informed about social and current events both national and international, minus all of the drama, complaining and censorship that has been riddling Facebook for the last couple of years. Thank you reddit, you give me the hit every internet junkie is looking for, you got me hooked!

Nice. Reddit is an app where you can find a subreddit (like a small section of the app) that suits you. E.G. : Memes, Politics, Humour, public freakouts, casual conversations. The only problems I have in my opinion is while subreddits are entitled to their views I have seen a few particular subs ONLY delete hate comments to a certain group of people (E.G. “Religious People Should Die”... “Black people deserve what they have” etc.) when the post makes the front page. I am also severely annoyed at the excessive amount of notifications this app gives. I would turn them off but then I would also be blocking notifications from people who reply to me. Notifications like “Trending in this subreddit is (post I’m not interested in)” Overall a much safer place than most social media as long as you stay away from subreddits that show hate (and for some reason are not deleted though they break reddit TOS).

Video half screen fail. I watch a video, then I head to the comments and scroll through them. But with this new format, I click on comments and the video goes to half screen and starts again. Why? Who in their right mind wants to watch a video and scroll through comments at the same time. I find myself pausing the video several times trying to get it to shut up before getting to the full screen comments section. Please reinstate old format. Were there even any complaints?

Your glitches annoy me. So many glitches in the chat function To name a few it won’t let me scroll down and it does this weird shuffle thing. Why? Just let me scroll normally please? Whenever I get a reply to my comment I click on the pop up at the top of my screen notifying me, to take me to the comment, and it’s not there. WHY. And I have to go back and go to notifications, click on it again to see it. If it’s there long enough to notify me that somethings there, why is nothing there when I click on the thing, notifying me, that somethings there. Stupid And now my rate feature is gone. It’s there for my own profile but for some reason it’s not there anymore. Why is this gone? What kind of imperfection in your software can cause a feature like this to disappear ? So annoying. And everything is a gif why can’t I have sound. Just give me sound. It’s not a gif it’s a video with no sound. Why would I wanna watch that

Bugs bugs bugs. With every update it gets buggier. I used to love this app, now as I’m scrolling, half of a previous post I was looking at will pop up on top of another post. The new comment format doesn’t work half the time (don’t know why it needed to be changed), entire comment threads will disappear or I won’t be able to scroll down without it springing back to the top comment. Sometimes I can’t even click the button to see the comments. I’m not on an old phone, my iOS is up to date - I don’t understand why it’s getting worse, shouldn’t it be getting better?

Great app. Perfect navigation.. This app is so good it almost ruined desktop reddit for me. The swipe navigation on this app is pretty much perfect. All apps should just navigate the same way this one does. Apart from that, it's solid, bug free, and has enough flexibility to work for me. Just a word of warning though- I'd turn off auto play Vids/gifs when on mobile data though. This app chews through data when that's turned on.

Can I add another star?. Reddit is such an amazing app, filled with amazing people! (Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of terrible people, but we usher them away into a corner.) Reddit feels like one big family reunion where everyone’s talking about different stuff, like you can go over to the gay aunts and uncles in one section and talk about LGBTQ+ stuff, then go talk to the Zoomers in another section and talk about memes! There’s so many different types of people, it’s actually kinda crazy... Everything is here, literally! Think of anything and it probably exists! So come on in, you’re not late to the party, we’re only getting started! ^^ Have a great day/night and thanks for reading, I hope this encourages you to join our family, if so we welcome you with open arms!

disgusting. this app is disgusting , child pornography is not it , my daughter is on this app and she is only 14 this app should be deleted and banned , it is illegal and disgusting to see my daughter up there for thousands of grown men around the world to see , reddit needs to be shut down for good!!!!!! This is not right , and it truely disturbs me on the amount of videos and photos I have come across with other girls and guys doing things that aren’t appropriate for people… this app needs to be deleted and banned because I would not want my daughter to be stalked and watched because of something other people seen on this app , it’s truely disgraceful where this world has come to , delete this app or there will be consequences, stay safe y’all 😚

Oh god what have I done?. This app might seem fine on the outside but please god don’t be fooled. It starts with the funny cats and dog videos, then to the funny jokes and videos, then to some harmless memes, and then the next thing you know, you’ve been jerking your manly third leg at some sounding (don’t look that up) or some weird human-animal anime hybrid and you haven’t touched grass in two years! Don’t be foolish. Just stick to the pewdiepie and jacksepticeye videos related to Reddit and continue browsing tic tok! This is not a joke, it’s a warning. Don’t be like me. Don’t be like us. It’s too late for us, it’s not for you. Also don’t go to 4 chan that’s MUCH worse.

An “offical” app which is officially useless. Unfortunately I was forced to install and use this app since the latest apple iOS update made Reddit Blue unusable on my iPad. Sorry Reddit I didn’t change because of the invasive advertisement for your offical app, which appears on almost everything (it also covers half the screen). I used Reddit Blue comfortably for years, albeit with the casual crash. Fortunately the offical app doesn’t have that issue, and for the most part it is a solid app, but it is far from perfect. A particularly aggravating issue is the tendency for gifs and videos to not load. And the only solution reported seems to be to completely reset the app. Which also interrupts the place you were reading. Considering Reddit seems to be 50% gifs and videos I would say this is pretty far from okay. Researching this issue shows that it has been known about for over a entire year and the developers seem to either or not car or are to incompetent to fix it. I never used the offical app because it was never good years ago and now I’ve been stripped of a choice.

Is called a reddit hole. Be careful you can lose an hour easy. It can be super helpful if you have issues - you can find support or different ways to look at things or approaches to try and you can find out that you’re not alone. And it’s great to be anonymous. That’s probably the most powerful opportunity. But there’s just general mindless entertainment and hobby stuff and special interest opportunities too. There’s a few trolls but it’s not too big of a deal. You can report then if you can be bothered. You will be misunderstood but you can handle it. Careful of that reddit hole.

Better than the others, but has it's share of crazies. Reddit is a great social media platform as it allows you to laser focus in on certain areas of interest with its subreddits, developing great communities of like minded people. However, there are certainly areas of reddit that attract the lesser nature of man. The site wide moderation is often not enough to keep these corners clean and so they can often become far worse than a bigot ever could on Twitter. It's good to keep in mind that this is a downside of not only all social media, but society. There are bad people. But reddit helps you find what makes you happy if you look for it instead of letting yourself get tempted into the usual social media anger and sadness traps.

Going the way of Digg. I came to reddit after digg declined. With power mods now ruining discourse in subs they having nothing to do with, the exact same environment that caused digg to fail is popping up at reddit. 12 year user perma banned because a mod had a vendetta against me. Looking at how narrow the topics of discussion have become on so many major subs, you can see the website being neutered in real time The power trips that your unpaid moderators go on is honestly some of the most pathetic behaviour I’ve ever witnessed, these people think they can gatekeep a community built by others that they have nothing to do with

Love everything but one thing. I’m a massive fan of Reddit and spend nearly every day logged on and browsing content. The layout is great and it’s easy to navigate. My only issue is that videos don’t have sound unless the link directs you away from Reddit. It’s incredibly annoying to have to copy the link and past it to a browser on my phone any time I want to watch a video with audio. If they can fix this issue soon I’d be happy.

*fixed* Comments disappear when watching videos in landscape. Edit: bug has been fixed :) it’s nice and refreshing when developers listen. I like reading video comments and for some reason, they don’t show when watching videos in landscape. This worked fine before the app update. Note that I can view comments in portrait mode, just not landscape. Fix it reddit.

Reddit - cesspool of female hatred and rape fantasy. Reddit has taken the unusual step of deleting feminist subreddits, calling them "hate groups". Maybe women wouldn't have so much to talk about if this app wasn't full of rape fantasies and other assorted misogynistic content. Hard pass. Deleted.

Reddit hates women. Reddit banned peaceful conversations of women discussing violence against them while keeping literal RAPE SUBREDDITS open

Do not update.. They keep trying to push a useless card view and are hiding things I use daily like my custom feeds. Please devs stop messing with a good thing - it wasn’t broken. Stop “fixing” it.

REDDIT. my mom said that if she catches me on Reddit she’ll swipe my head against my keyboard but I don’t care it’s really funny gljgjfvjchdhhdhfhfhfvhdhfhdjvjchvuvizyyryfrttr5t5t5ttrh(GGhFf(GFggGgGGgfysF6373),??&.?

Not happy with Reddit’s response to Covid 19 misinformation. I love using the Reddit app to interact with hundreds of different subreddits tailored to my specific interests. But after Reddit took a dangerously “neutral” stance against purposeful Covid 19 misinformation on their site, I can’t support their business model until they realize how their actions can and will result in literal deaths and the prolonging of this global pandemic. I will immediately stop spending even a dime on premium and awards, I will only access Reddit through third-party apps/will use an ad-blocker. Reddit needs to understand that the hundreds of communities and thousands upon thousands of users will use blackouts and halt as much spending as possible until they do what’s right.

Fire those people who work in the appeals department.. My account was permanently suspended without a given reason, and when I sent an appeal, all my alt accounts were permanently suspended as well. I made a new account only to find it banned as well and I didn’t even post yet. So I got banned without a given reason, ask politely for an appeal and receive an IP ban as a result. What is this logic? I use Reddit for homework and French help and I was actually doing better in French because of it. All I ask for is an account I can use for homework purposes and apparently that’s too much to ask for. And that person who decided to ban me is a sad, sad excuse for a human.

Ugh. Super trash. Way too political and toxic. Stay out of this echo chamber.

Brainwashed. Almost every user is brainwashed in one way or another. Looking through reddit is just seeing a multitude of hive minds.

an EXTREMELY abusive platform. everybody on here is extremely abusive, rude, and toxic.

Pedo palace, left playground. Censorship is very strong. Can’t call out pedos or your account gets permanently banned. The whole site is nothing but degenerates and child porn. It’s flabbergasting that’s it’s even allowed to operate.

Pornography. Pretty disgusting finding videos of girls masturbating just basically now Reddit has pornography included…. What gross and disgusting app

App is decent. I love Reddit but the app could probably have better UI and enhanced features to better utilize mobile. Overall, it's still a good app.

Toxic Forum & Dishonest Admins. Reddit is the most toxic social forum I have ever seen. The posting and voting system is fraudulent. Moderators and administrators are breaking TOS themselves by encouraging sexism & racism, sending personal threats and shadow banning innocent users. The app’s rating is also manipulated by deleting the negative reviews. A lot of the five star reviews obviously sound fake. No one would truly believe those words come from real Reddit users.

RIP alien blue. I’ve been a long time Reddit mobile user, dating back to the alien blue days. Ever since Reddit bought/replaced it with this app, they have managed to ruin the user experience more with each update. The Current versions “improvements” include: 1) 1/5 posts are sponsored ads mixed in as “posts” 2) “suggested” communities/posts mixed into your regular feed 3) the single worst video player ever created 4)blatant (and poorly implemented) attempts to copy ticktoks UI I hope they re-find their way, but I’m not holding my breath. Until then, I recommend Apollo over this garbage app.

Update sucks! Video player is awful!!. Latest update changed video player and it is horrendous! Revert it back please

Karma bug. Karma system is killing freedom of speech, minority opinions. ———- Moderator has abusing power over other users. Can permanently ban a user without a good excuse. ————- With there are better chatting platforms can beat this broken hierarchy power based platform. Maybe discord . Right

Anti-woman website. Reddit hosts disgusting pornography of actual women getting raped and subreddits glorifying the rape snd murder of girls and women. Subs that have complained about this have been banned. Women-centered communities are banned left and right for dome sick reason too. Stay away from this app/site if you're a woman.

Best app ever. This app is better than Facebook and Instagram, I assure you. Say goodbye to all your free time though.

quit pausing my music. this app doesn’t even play sound

Site forces you to use app to fish through your data. They purposely gutted the mobile site and locked innocuous stuff like subreddits for Teen rated games under “restricted” to force you to make an account and use app so they can steal and sell your personal information. Its also just stupid because if i was trying to avoid 18+ content - but wanted to check a teen rated games subreddit - id ether have to change my preferences and stumble across content i dont want to see or be blocked out of inoffensive stuff becuase they weigh halo memes and adult pages as the same level of adult material. If i was a parent this would be infuriating. When twitter does a better job flagging inappropriate content you have missed the plot completely.

Reddit hates and censors women. Reddit will allow rape subreddits but not subreddits for critical thinking related to women’s rights. Sadly, reddit is anti-free speech and pro-misogyny. Reddit bizarrely lumps critical leftist feminist thought in with extreme racism and fascism. Reddit moderators who delete critical thinking subreddits that discuss women’s rights compassionately and polite are disturbingly biased and admit to it. I am extremely disappointed with reddit. One day, this will all be realized as the shameful, pathetic nonsense it truly is. Until then, reddit is an utter disgrace.

100% better than instagram. Amazing

CRASH PROBLEM. the app doesnt work ! crashes every 30seconds to a minute. my favourite app but man fix the crashing bug

Terrible. Reddit sucks and is nothing but a far left echo chamber. They have recently deleted 2000 communities for wrongthink. This is unbelievable censorship of free speech that is occurring

Great app. Great app, no complaints except they really don't need the notifications in the lock screen.

Newer release pauses music when opening the app. Every time i open the app now it pauses Spotify in the background, change it back.

Reddit Sileneces Women and Uplifts Abusive Males. A recent wave of subreddit bans has targeted women’s subreddits that sought to counter act damaging parts of the patriarchy such as pornography and calling out subreddits that are 100% based around hating females. Though many feminist subreddits have faced the chop, many pornography subreddits that have rape and violence against women remain. Reddit’s priorities are transparent and blatantly sexist.

Terrible app full of awful people. App is run by echo chamber Admins. Most subreddits are echo chambers from incels, racists, and censorship. I’ve seen account get permanently banned for calling people who were advocating for the sexualization of minors, pedophiles. The app is full of lolli porn and disgusting things like beasiality. Political reddits are also chalk full of leftist propaganda, hate, and wish nothing but death on republicans/conservatives/christians/Catholics The admins run reddit like it’s 1940’s Germany. I do not recommend this app for a single normal, or sane person.

Video player. This video player is terrible, why is there no option to revert to the previous style.

This is a porn and propaganda app. This app is filled with the most degenerate pornography you can imagine, it boggles the mind why this is allowed on the App Store while an app for a different porn site is not allowed. Just go to r/gonewild for amateur porn from “users” to countless other hardcore “subs”. Kids are viewing porn using this app all the time, and they are monetizing this using ads. The rest of the site mainly is about propaganda where any dissent is hidden or removed.

Video comments. On iPad clicking the comments button on videos just open it full screen only way to view video comments is in portrait! MULTIPLE SUBREDDITS OF HUNDREDS OF PEOPE WITH THIS ISSUE GOING ON A YEAR. FIX IT NOW

Stop ruining Reddit. I don’t normally leave reviews but these recent app changes have been so unpleasant I’m considering leaving Reddit as a whole. I have no idea why your design team is so out to ruin the experience of the mobile app, it is not intuitive, not easy to use and overall unpleasant. Get it together

Well. App incites violence and hatred against women, and bans any womens discussions subs, from men-free feminist discussions to subs against domestic violence or subs supporting single moms.

Cheating. Don’t tell Twitter, but I’m having an affair with Reddit.

Censorship. Reddit deletes subreddits focused on feminism and women’s rights, but allows subreddits about rape fantasies? No thanks

Pedophiles Dream. Reddit is perfectly comfortable with posts regarding sex with children and refuses to remove them when they’re reported. Not an app that should be endorsed or used. Absolutely disgusting. I’d give it no stars if I could.

People on this app are mean!. You can’t discuss a topic without getting hateful or condescending comments ! If someone is wrong, just teach facts instead of telling them they are idiots. I thought it would be a great place to learn from each other but it turns out to be full of high school-like bullies, even on innocent topics such as birds or plants🙄

69. nice

Reddit Censorship. Reddit has removed a lot of subreddits that don’t fit into the main stream political ideology. Complete censorship, good bye Reddit!

Can’t post or comment. Wow Reddit was ok once. Not anymore. Can’t comment or post. Reached out to customer service. They gave some cookie cutter response and said to send my reply above the dotted line in my email. Did this and never heard back. Reddit doesn’t want our business!

Censorship. This app use to be the best part of my day , it’s now a absolutely joke , the admins are power hungry ban machines.

Awful. Ruled by anonymous unaccountable neckbeard overlords.. It was good at one point but almost all of the subreddits are ran by the same few people (mods), which has caused the app to become a toxic place. “Mods” run the subreddits and heavily abuse their power to force people off of subreddits. They change and manipulate rules to simply kick people off that they don’t like. I refuse to bend the knee to these neckbeards. Reddit should really crack down on this.

Awesome. I lik it

Great app. Awesome waste of time

Not good. You get banned for calling some one dumb. Yet they allow videos and people being killed and beaten to death.

Latest video UI is trash. I love using this app but the latest video UI is trash and really makes me close the app angrily a couple of times. It’s so complicated reading the comments on a video. I pause the video, click on comments and then the video starts playing. Half of the time, the scroll to next comment arrow is missing. Its a headache.

Awful updates. I use Reddit on my iPad. Here is the new things I don’t like: - Changing the location of my subscribed subreddits. I do not like to go to awkward side menu. Return the quick access button at the bottom! (Make the new discovery feature another tab or a link from the subreddits view) - Landscape mode does show comments for videos on iPad. - Forced usage of the Reddit app. Sometimes, I like to browse using Safari. The website at some point doesn’t display all the comments, and then displays to install the Reddit app to continue. Hilariously, the open in Reddit button most times doesn’t work for me and I have Reddit installed.

Spam popup asking me to upvote. Theres is a new feature asking you to upvote every time you read a post. Dumb and annoying, if I want to upvote it I’m a big boy I’ll upvote it.

Subreddit searching seems to be broken. If you're searching for a subreddit that you know exists, for whatever reason the search function won't find it but will show other results which have similar names.

New video playback sucks. It's buggy, you can't pause the video without fully opening it. It's a bad update. Downloading Apollo now

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Forced into the App. Reddit is one of many websites that gimped the online experience to force you into the app. You can’t view ANYTHING on the website anymore: every single topic/thread I choose, even SFW ones, force me to view in app. The app is an ad-ridden mess, and it has every tracker known to man to monitor your mobile activity. Additionally, you shouldn’t have to download an app for EVERY SINGLE WEBSITE, when the websites used to be more than adequate. Unfortunately, I follow quite a few threads. So, I’m forced to use this terrible app. In the future, give people the option on if they want to use the app; forcing it onto people, just so you can track our every move, is, frankly, sleazy and pathetic. You should be ashamed of yourselves, for wanting to intrusively track the very users that contributed to your rise as the “Frontpage of the Internet.”

Latest updates are ruining this app. I am a long time user of the Reddit mobile app and haven’t had any problems up until the release of the latest updates. One major problem is the new video player. Any time you try to open a gif or video, you’re forced to view it in Tik Tok format. It is absolutely dreadful to try and read the comment section of posts with this sort of media. This new feature alone makes the app borderline unusable. Another issue with the latest updates is that the home feed is now filled with posts from communities that you are not subscribed to. If I wanted to see that content, I would be following those communities, so seeing those posts on my feed is annoying. It is very clear that they are trying to mimic the features of other social media, and in doing so, they are ruining the app. A lot of what made this app good in the first place was the fact that it wasn’t like every other social media. Tons of Reddit users have voiced their dislike for these new features and things need to be fixed.

From bad to worse. This app was never good to begin with, it had constant issues connecting to the server, doesn’t let you use many of the features or settings on the desktop version, constantly subscribing me to subreddits when I just want to go into the subreddit to see what it’s about, ghost notifications, and other things. Recently that made a change to the home tab were you would see subreddits you have subscribed to and only subreddits you have subscribed to, but not anymore. Our elite overlords at Reddit hq have decided that you don’t know what you want to see and that they can do better. So instead of just seeing the 20 or so small subreddits that I have subscribed to too keep up with when a franchise I like is getting something new and the memes involving those franchises, I’m now seeing cesspools r/politics, r/politicalhumor, r/subredditdrama, and others that I’ve wanted to block for ages, but can’t because Reddit doesn’t let you, showing up in the home tab. I don’t want to see this garbage Reddit just because it’s “popular on Reddit” doesn’t mean that everyone wants to see it.

Most Recent Update Degrades Experience. I have been using the Reddit app for a few years now and although there have been changes I never fully agreed with, they were stable enough to either ignore or simply incorporate into the Reddit experience. The new video player update, however, has completely downgraded my experience with the app. The Reddit video player has always been tricky but manageable but now it’s unusable. The video freezing if I open comments but it continuing in the background on the timeline screen, the inability to easily pause the video, clicking on videos and being given a completely different video that’s unrelated to the one you are watching, heavy load times in the video player. These issues are limiting and difficult to ignore. It’s difficult to comprehend why they’d release an update and leave these issues lingering for such a long time. I hope they either scrap the new video player or adjust it to fix the countless issues that keep happening. For now, my review will stay at 1 star. Do not download if you are a new user.

New UI is terrible - playback has audio issues. Hate the new UI that uses the Instagram reels / tik tok style for viewing media. It makes it so hard for reading comments; it constantly plays the videos while reading comments, pausing it while staying in the comments is this huge process. I liked the sound button better on the left hand side but I like that it has black behind because before the white sound button would disappear in videos with white background. Adding to my previous review and lowering my rating. The above has not been fixed, and lately if you open a video but don’t finish watching it, the audio will continue to play. Even if you are watching a new video, the audio from the previous post will continue to play. Even if you go into the post to pause it, it will then continue to play two instances of the same audio. You either have to wait for the video to finish or you have to restart the app. FIX THE PLAYBACK WITH THIS APP. There are so many third party apps I’m about to switch to a different one. This app used to be great and now it’s just getting so unusable

Reddit is a place for Good, but also a place of Evil too. Lots of people have been able to enjoy Reddit for years and years, without making the experience less enjoyable or nasty for other users; however, that time it seems is perhaps come and gone. Reddit now seems to be a breeding ground for “ultra nationalist” idealists, and also a lot of dark dark spaces that I think Reddit often wants to pretend don’t exist…which will be to their detriment, and ours as well. Content moderation on Reddit is scant, if there at all — NSFW content does exist within their Apple app, and I’m not sure how they got around that when many other app makers were told, no nudity period. I hope Reddit can fix its problems, and prepare the social network for the future problems which are already on the horizon — learning is key, and Reddit owners apparently aren’t learning from Facebook’s failures.

MODS have too much power and ban you for no reason.. Please all I want is my account restored! This is a message to the mods. Why? I have bipolar disorder. I apologize about my outburst the other day, I thought I was talking to a robot. Please can you guys restore my account. I’m not doing anything wrong. This is really affecting my mental health. My dog just died last week and my grandpa is in the hospital with COVID. I need Reddit as an outlet. Please I am begging you. I get the community engaged with my posts. Please, please, please as one human speaking to another human during a pandemic with the world in chaos mode can you please have some sympathy/empathy. I sincerely apologize to the MOD(s) I may have exchanged words with. I honestly just thought it was a robot. Please I ask you to restore my account. I have learned my lesson. I have just been getting frustrated that my posts keep getting removed with no explanation. I apologize for my actions. Can you guys please forgive me? Can we end this on good terms? I am a beginner streamer, I lost my Job during the pandemic a few months ago. This is all I want to do is contribute to this Reddit and continue to help it grow.

If visually impaired use Apollo instead. If you are visually impaired in most apps you have the option to enlarge apps or you can enlarge the system type on your phone manually to make sure the app is accessible. Not on this app. The size labeled as watermelon and is the largest size is only about a 14 pt font at most. I simply can not read this type size being legally blind. With any other app I would be able to still further enlarge it within the system settings of my phone, but this enlargement will not work in the Reddit app like it does on any other app. It leaves this app completely inaccessible to someone with low vision. Save yourself some headache and get Apollo instead. You can get the type as large as needed with it. The thing that really bothers me is I already posted this review once and although it showed up yesterday now it is gone from my reviews and from this page. Was it removed and why? I said nothing not allowed other than informing other low vision people in a very polite manner how tolerant all inclusive Reddit doesn’t care about you or your low vision.

Reddit Moderators. So while I totally love Reddit and all - it really is the modern equivalent of the colonial public Town Hall meeting place - it is inherently flawed. The “moderators” are not moderate at all. In a sense, they’re no better than Facebook. The anonymity of the moderators are actually akin to censors. They censor content. There is no way to communicate with them. When they decide that what someone has written is “wrong” they refer to it as “violating community standards”. Simply by expressing an opinion that is not part of their own narrow view, you can - and I have - be “banned for life”. The lack of ability to communicate with them is beyond frustrating, it’s borderline inane. In a strange way, it’s actually worse than Facebook censors. They are in control and when you cannot directly communicate with them, it makes them a private platform, not a public one. 🙄

It works well. I always used alien blue and still have it on my phone. The official Reddit app has crashed/frozen probably 2 times in the past year or so. I don't like the advertisements and never had them on the alien blue app, but I understand it's a necessary evil. I would like the app to have some different features but since I only use Reddit on mobile I don't have a fair view of what's offered on the website or the often lauded Reddit Enhancement Suite; I know I would like to sort by rising, switch between commenting and checking another sub Reddit (to reference or link) without loosing/ having to cut and paste my comment. I feel any issues I have with the app are likely larger issue with the company- for example the report function has gone to crap, you used to be able to just report and presumably a mod would review it but now you have to choose a specific rule that was broken and I think it'll dissuade new users from reporting when they should.

It works great on walls!. I recently had a catastrophe happen in my home. I was walking inside with a box filled with boxed wine when suddenly one of my 20 cats made me trip. I plummeted to the floor and managed to land directly on the box of boxed red wine. The terrific force of which I crashed into the box sent red wine surging out from under me. It sprayed onto my walls and white carpet like something out of a Jackson Pollock esc horror movie. Just minutes before my wife of four kids (none mine) was soon to arrive home for dinner. I remembered I had gotten this cleaning product from a close friend for large messes. Reddit worked like a charm, after applying it to the effected areas I got to work and used appropriate secondary cleaning to get the rest cleared. I cannot thank u guys enough! You saved my carpet, my walls, and my marriage! Good day, from a happy customer

Absolute garbage. Looooong time reddit user, 8+ years and this app is beyond garbage. Videos that I’m not looking at play constantly even after moving past them, videos auto-play once you click comments even after pausing it, constantly crashes. The same content is constantly shown, days after it was first shown in my feed. All of these issues are new since the last major overhaul, I assumed it was just a case of bugs that would be worked out so I gave the developers the benefit of the doubt for what seems like well over a year. The absolute unusable-ness of this app has pushed me to delete my account and not look back. Do not download this, and don’t get hooked on the addictive algorithm it just isn’t worth it. Also the constant notifications are incessant and obnoxious, worse than facebook. I would give it zero stars if I could but I want to make sure this doesn’t get lost in all of the dumb one star reviews. I was a huge reddit fan, and they’ve honestly just ruined everything that made it good. Now with Reddit going public soon theres no way it wont get worse.

New video player is awful. The new video player is absolutely horrendous. Reddit is starting to become another TikTok copycat because of it and I hate it. I would say that if I wanted the video player to be formatted like TikTok I’d go to TikTok, but this is somehow worse. It’s a pain in the rear to pause and unmute videos, and this new format has made it basically impossible to work around a recent glitch. This started a few days ago, but whenever you try to play a video on a post marked either NSFW or spoiler, it’ll take you to a completely different post sometimes in another subreddit. I saw a dude eat a live rat because of this bug. If we still had the original video player, this could easily be worked around by just pulling up the comments and watching the video from there, but you can’t even do that now since you have to play the video in order to pull up comments. Stop trying to be TikTok, just go back to how the video player was before.

Ok but missing important functionalities. So I’d definitely say the official Reddit app is easily the most “stable” Reddit app out there - although it does have a few minor glitches that pop up from time to time. The main reason I’m giving this app 4 Stars and not 5 however is because of a lack of functionality. It’s currently missing the ability to display the Wiki sections of subreddits - and that’s a major drawback, especially for certain subreddits whose content is basically centered around their wikis. Also, the inability of the app to display “old reddit” - or its inability to show what a particular subreddit looks like in its old-reddit-styling - that’s a major drawback as well, as certain subreddits have still not upgraded to new Reddit, and lose much of their functionality when forcibly viewed in new-Reddit-styling. If the official app could add these 2 things, as well as chat room functionality - then my app store rating might change also.

I Oppose Censorship. The content that remains is still good.. I Oppose Censorship. Reddit used to be a place where you could find anything and everything. My ideologies and attitudes and personal philosophies and opinions have grown and evolved over time. Reddit was one of the reasons why I am an open-minded individual. I am much more eager to listen to opposing views, in order to find common ground with people who are very different from me. I’ve learned to have productive and civil conversations. I have been motivated to become a more knowledgeable individual on a variety of issues. The content that remains is still good. However, I believe that it is inexcusable that Reddit has censored / deleted / banned / restricted / removed many posts and subreddits over the years. Many of us on the internet came here because it was NOT the basic / polished / scripted GARBAGE that television has become. We migrated to the internet for the freedom of ideas and expression that was nowhere to be found elsewhere. Heed my warning. It’s all good, until they consider your ideas dangerous, and they come after you. Please return Reddit to its former glory, and restore freedom of expression. Otherwise, people will leave, and you will become the relic media that you deposed. Great app though. TLDR: Reddit used to be the place of freedom of expression and, if it wants to stay relevant, it should stop censorship.

Absolutely hate the new feed experiment. They are supposedly running an experiment on your home feed. Some users are effected by this, some aren’t. They are no longer display posts from all the subs i follow in chronological order. They are running an algorithm that is picking what it wants to show you—and there’s no way to change it to Top, New, Hot, etc etc. I’m missing a lot of content now. Before in chronological order i felt like i saw *everything* now with this new algorithm i feel like i see 60% of the content. I see repeating posts nearly all day. I thought it was spam posters at first but then i realized it was just Reddits algorithm really wanting me to interact with that post for some reason. I hate it lol. Please go back to chronological order and give us the option to organize by hot, new, etc pleaaassseeeeee. Besides that, i really love the app. It works great, and does what i need it to.

I Love Reddit but it’s slowly becoming Twitter.. Seriously, nevermind the endless amounts of Socialist SubReddits they keep advertising me or the fact my conservative jokes were labeled as “Hate Speech” for making fun of Fascism and Liberals, but the radicalization of people on this media. There’s to much false information about Massacres and communist crimes and a lot of anti-western lies (Soviet Famines, Holodomor, The Great Leap Forward, Russo-Ukraine war, Western Wars in the middle-east, Chinese Human Rights violations, Soviet Russian Human Rights violations, Current censorship in China, everything about the North Korean Dictatorship, etc…) and this stuff being allowed to be spread about because of revenue. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge Capitalist and I care less about whether a company will take action because it’ll make them money and waste their miserable lives but to allow victims to be called western liars? To dismiss the real life experiences of people in a system because they’re so coddled by media? Foolish. Whatever, combat the idea not the person.

Video player. This app was really good for a long long time, but I’m not sure why the choice was made to change the video player? The new one doesn’t stay in the subreddit I’m in, and rarely even plays the videos I tap on. I understand making something similar to compete with other social media apps (via the scrolling down like Instagram or TikTok instead of scrolling to the side), but I don’t want to use those other apps, that’s why I used Reddit. As far as I am aware, there weren’t any problems with the old video player and it always worked perfectly when I used it, so why change it if it works well? Everything else in the app is great and flows well, but I’m really considering uninstalling because of this issue because I’ve lost one of the features of Reddit that drew me to the Reddit app. If I didn’t already like the app I’d rate it 1 star. If the video player stays the way it is, I’ll probably uninstall and use something I like less than Reddit, which makes me sad.

Overall good. Took away some stars because, for some reason, since the last update 1) the option to see all comments on a post or in a thread from your notifications has been removed, and 2) notifications themselves will sometimes continue to show as unread even after you’ve looked at or marked them as read, which is definitely more minor than the first issue. Not being able to see the post, see other comments, or see the rest of the thread from a notification you receive just seems like a really poor choice for the team to make. There was always a “See all comments in thread,” or see all on post, option before. Even tapping the comment icon or the post name doesn’t work. It just really tells users that you don’t want them interacting with content, which is the entire point of the app.

Welcome to your community. I’ve known about reddit for a long time. My partner constantly sent me links of such random interesting bits of information, memes, news articles, conspiracy theories, etc. But it always seemed like a scrolling trap to me. I decided to download the app on a whim and shortly after created an account. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder about a year ago and the hardest part was having no one in my life to truly connect with over my experiences. I looked for online forums, support groups, even hotlines in desperation. But it all felt surface-level and people couldn’t really share what’s truly on their minds. I was spiraling. I found a community on reddit of people who were in my exact same boat. Reddit provides a platform for people to connect in a relaxed and creative way to share what’s truly in their hearts and minds. There is a subreddit for almost anything. I can’t recommend this app enough.

Maturing UI, fewer bugs, improved but still limited mod actions.. **2/8/22 Update** The app has come a long way. Moderation can *almost* be exclusively done from a phone, but still continues to be much easier on a PC using mostly third-party tools, still. It’s a great app, though. Some strange behaviors when using built-in browser for external links, but they offer the ability to offload those to your default system browser. iOS now allows you to choose your default browser, so this means you can let chrome or Firefox or whatever be the app that opens from clicking links in the Reddit app. Great feature. Generally, this app works well, but as a companion to, not a replacement for, desktop/browser use. **old review for comparison** For an official app, it's really lacking features. It can't even read it's own markup language. Instead, it actually displays the literal input when somebody tries to do any sort of formatting. The moderation components are infantile but workable. I really would love auto-comment/PM upon removal templates but for now this works, to a degree. The UI has gone through so impressive revamps recently. It's a lot more intuitive, in relation to its earlier form, to interact with various elements. I'll come back and update this as time goes on and updates releases.

Weak search engine + echo rooms. Each subreddit serves as its own mini echo chamber. Dissent is not welcome. I find this usually boring - I’d rather have conversations and respectful, intelligent discussions with people who have different opinions than me. I’m pretty unengaged now. Really need to get rid of the thumbs down/thumbs up system. What Reddit is good for is basically being the comment section for all of humanity’s thoughts. This is great and powerful, but hindered by the horrible search function. That’s why so many people have to type “XYZ Reddit” into google - because we can’t search within Reddit! And finally I think more threads should stay open longer. Sometimes by chance I come across someone’s very specific/obscure question from 7 years ago and happen to know the answer - I wish I could respond! No point in sending a private message, it’s been too mang years. Wish I could put it out there for the next person searching for that answer on the internet who comes across that thread. Lot of lost potential.

How did I ?. Just like the cellphone, how did I EVEN get by before this???? Im am sooo thankful for this site! It’s my go to app for sure!!! Keep up the awesome work ! Better than Facebook bringing the world together. I have met some amazing people from all over the world! Not too mention the ease of operation!!’ It did take me I littlebit to get comfortable navigating with confidence, and even after all this time there are things I don’t understand or could use dome help to figure out. . . But that being said, I’m still using it more than any other app! Is there like a help center? I could talk to someone to get answers to my questions? Or tips on how to better? Any way..,, thanks for all you do! I hope you don’t sell to a bigger firm, I hope it continues to grow, update, stay open minded, and safe. And keeping the scammers at bay. I know they are constantly adapting as security finds them and you’ll never get rid of them 100%. But I’ve noticed here on this site…I’ve met more real people than anywhere else. Not as many people asking for a gift cards , as other sites!!!!LOL!!! So thanks for that cause it really is fun and nice to meet REAL people half way around the world and become friends with. Even with my issues of needing help, I still give 5 stars!!!! Eric Daquilanto

DISCRIMINATION AGAINST CONSERVATIVES. I’ve had the worst experience with Reddit. I was banned without explanation. I reached out to Reddit to file an appeal a handful of times over the past few months and I have received no response to any of my messages / appeals. They do not respond and have no customer service phone line so there’s no way to get in contact with them. I went as far as messaging them on Instagram, and still no response. I have never made a review on an app, but I felt it was necessary to review Reddit because this is the worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life. I’m pretty sure this falls under unfair practices considering that I can’t get a clear explanation or even a response from Reddit regarding my banned. I guess this shows how much they care about their platform users. So if you’re thinking about using this for any kind of business or as a way to promote yourself, I don’t recommend it. It’s confusing to understand and you’ll just be banned once you figure out how to use it. And good luck trying to get a ban reversed cause apparently no one works at Reddit.

App was fine before you guys tried to copy Tik Tok. Seems you guys are trying to copy tik tok’s formula with your videos and as a result, the video viewing experience is worse now. Trying to scroll through comments while watching videos is a nightmare, and the button for auto-scrolling to the next message thread is completely missing. Combine that with how the buttons are automatically relegated vertically to the side when you watch a video (just like tik tok) and it’s honestly just a less enjoyable experience. Otherwise the app still works as normally everywhere else. I don’t get it. You guys had a good thing here, and I’m not sure why you felt pressured to copied tik tok’s design for videos. But I can’t imagine anyone who doesn’t use tik tok like myself will enjoy it this way; it just makes me want to watch videos less on it now. Here’s to hoping you guys change it back soon after this little experiment. Or come up with something better for your video viewing experience, cause this ain’t it chief.

App PMs don’t listen to users. I’ve been using Reddit for over 10 years, starting with the Alien Blue app on iOS when Reddit didn’t have its own native app. It was then bought by Reddit and everyone was eventually migrated over to an official Reddit Mobile app about 3-ish years ago. Since then, everything I loved about Alien Blue has been stripped away until finally, in early 2021, the experience became downright awful. The video player is beyond bad, they keep pushing recommendations down your throat, and they continue to pester you to subscribe to things just because you looked at it once. I WANT to use the official app; I tried an alternative (Apollo) several times over the last two years but always went back to Reddit Mobile because it felt better. I can’t say that anymore; the Reddit PM who owns the mobile app straight up ignores constant constructive feedback about the negative changes being made and the UX continues to worsen. I’ve officially moved to Apollo not for the love of its features but because Reddit Mobile has gotten so much worse to the point of misery and infuriation when trying to use it.

Absolute censorship if you hold any conservative values. Don’t be even slightly conservative on Reddit. Think raping children is not ok? They’ll ban you. Think smoking crack and being violent isn't ok? That’s just because you’re a bigot. Banned again. I’ve been banned from Reddit more times than I can count. They’ve shut down my subs, that I’ve created and fostered, because they don’t like what I had to say. Fortunately I still ruin their day with my VPN regularly. Even though I’ve learned not to spend money on coins or what have you. Because you lose those when they ban you too. But 10 years ago it was good. Now I’ve heard the Chinese communist party bought a large chunk of Reddit. Which would help all of that make sense. I would recommend moving to a more free speech oriented platform if you believe freedom of speech is important, hold conservative values to any degree, or just don’t generally like being told what to think by threat of consequences. Reddit is complete trash today, and as a result, I can’t recommend it to anyone. I only give it one star because I can’t go lower.

Giving it 5 stars so it shows up. Reddit is nice and all but is run by politically motivated mods. Every sub has their own agenda and you can’t have a conversation or an argument in the comments because out of nowhere you will be permanently banned and get no answers whatsoever. Most of the bans claim stupid rules and others go as far as “we can change the rules how we want to”, other subs ban you just because you participate in another sub that they don’t like, 99% political reasons, and give you the most outrageous reasons. This needs to stop, I don’t know what the solution is, but it’s slowly becoming twitter 2.0 and this is not what I remember reddit to be when I joined. Not everything is about the US politics and the world doesn’t revolve around the US l, given that the biggest subs have US mods. Most of the bans are arbitrary and baseless. Shame

Love it. I’m beginning to feel the addiction take hold. I really like the potential Reddit has for sharing ideas and discussions. I do have one complaint, that is, that there are too many rules. Which wouldn’t be so bad if it didn’t wait till you spend time writing something just to be denied in a sort of rude manner. It is annoying when the reasoning for denial is something like, you have to wait 5 days to post on this subreddit or you have to have X amount of gifts or points. I can sort of see where it’s trying to improve and think it’s a decent idea. However, perhaps a little change to the bot mediator system would improve this app in a profound way. On more than one occasion I have been denied after spending time crafting words. This huge review should give you a sense of what I mean. I’ll work on shorter comments and then we’ll both be on our way!

They keep on permabanning my accounts. I made an account. My parents followed it closely and when I admitted truths, they punished me badly. So I made an alternate account they didn’t know about as to not cause drama. And they deleted both my accounts for “circumventing a ban” in another subreddit that I’d never been in before, they got my accounts confused with another persons. So I made another account. Same thing happened, they thought that was connected to an account of a person I didn’t even know. They banned me for lying about being banned from r/AmITheAssHole, which I have never been banned from. They cited a comment that was the apparent “lie”. The comment was, and I’m not kidding, asking for plant advice. So that account got banned. Since then, any account I’ve made has been permanently banned within HOURS. Their frickin’ site is ran on a potato. I can’t even just browse Reddit in peace or have fun because they made a mistake a long time ago and refuse to admit it, thus every account I’ve had, despite never even doing anything wrong, has been deleted for “circumventing a subreddit ban”. Screw this app, wouldn’t recommend it, 1 star

From great to ok to disappointing. I’ve always heard of Reddit but never hopped on the train until a couple of years ago. The first year was amazing! So many subreddits, so much to learn, so much to laugh at. Then around the start of 2020, Reddit took a turn towards politics. I don’t mind that at all, but I get enough of that outside. It was doable to ignore and I still enjoyed the app enough. Towards the middle of 2020, it was like Reddit was becoming just like any other app with no distinction: ads galore, in app purchases (I’m still not sure why people waste their money on that), and notifications that you can’t get rid of unless you turn on your notification on your personal phone. That right there is just annoying. Reddit, you were fun at first, but you got a little political, when I just wanted to go to this app to laugh and learn. Reddit, you submerged my pages in an ad almost every other post. Reddit, I don’t want you to constantly notify me to get back on the page. I can do that just fine on my own. And because of that, I am letting you go Reddit. Good luck.

Love this app better than Facebook. I would always see things online and fun stories so I decided to get the app. So far I’m loving it especially compared to other social medias. I feel like it’s safer and also you get to pick what’s entertaining specifically to you. I have yet to see anything bad that I don’t like. Most comments on everything follow all the rules and so far I haven’t seen any of the keyboard warriors which i find a lot on social media apps typically.I was getting bored of Facebook and I don’t have an interest in most of the others out there, so this was perfect and a change of pace. I liked being able to choose my interests instead of a generated algorithm to show a bunch of ads. Most SM is full of crap now so it’s refreshing to just read and comment on things I’m actually fascinated about and you can also learn a lot on here.

Reddit legal team/online support is lazy. Any post with a “onlyfans” url legally should not be on Reddit. That’s copyright infringement. Also a violation to people and in certain threads is just revenge porn. You guys slap a “nsfw” on it to mask the illegal activities on the threads and then make the victims practically pull needles out of haystack to get it taken down. If the entire Reddit thread/Reddit url is filled with hurling insults, revenge porn, and copyright infringement a person should not have to go to every single post and paste the url. Unless you have bots reviewing your infringement/revenge porn requests. Please do better. I don’t even use Reddit that much but unfortunately have to use it to get my copyrighted images removed and then I have to remove whatever reputation damage came from a Reddit page all because you don’t take the entire blasphemous page down just each post. That’s dumb. Do better for the people and not just for your best interest taking down one thread won’t put a dent in your popularity a holes. If this does not get taken down I am filing a lawsuit for revenge porn against Reddit and it’s users.

LOVE LOVE LOVE REDDIT!. This app is a combination of crafting and hobby group, grief support, sharing and laughs when you need them. There are “sub” Reddit’s for any and all medical concerns as well, where everyone shares their experiences and gives support. If you love your animals, there’s a sub for you, right down to a specific breed or type! (German Shepherds, for me) ~ it’s a place to seek advice or input on pretty much any topic you might be interested in. Unlike most other social media you’ll find nothing but kindness and comraderie, connectin with others in a positive way. I have accounts on all the main social media apps but this is the only one that’s truly useful and important and friendly, not just a lot of “look at me and all my stuff” nonsense. Lol For people who haven’t found Reddit, I urge you to try it out. It’s a wonderful place, with wonderful people.

Video Scrubbing on top of iOS UI. Look, there have been some obvious and glaring mistakes recently with regard to video auto-play and viewing stories with video/gifs in general. Some specific, egregious examples include tapping the comments button making the video go full screen and start playing instead of showing comments, not having a pause button when the video is in its condensed form above the comments… but those seem to have been fixed in the latest update. But the follies keep coming. It is so clear that the adjustment of the playback control positioning never got tested on a modern device without a home button. You literally can’t scrub videos without iOS trying to swap between apps. It’s right on top of it. Apple added safe area insets to UIKit YEARS ago. Did this change never leave the simulator before hitting the App Store? While I’m here, let me share a few (what I feel like are obvious) suggestions if the devs read this. - Video playback should always have a pause button without having to make a video full screen. This includes playing it in-line on the feed view. - Swiping up between full screen videos jumps past non-video content. It’s really not useful. Make that swipe up gesture bring the comments up instead or dismiss like it does for images - if you’re going to have a setting named Autoplay: Never, maybe actually have it never auto play videos unless I’m actually tapping play on the video. Just a thought.

Why 4, and not 5.. The only reason I’m giving this a 4 star review, instead of a 5, is because of the not so seamless transition from Safari to the app. Let me explain. Whenever I come across a Reddit page in Safari that I like and it gives me the option to open it in the app, all it does is take me to Reddit’s page in the App Store, instead of opening that Reddit page in the actual Reddit app. This drives me crazy and seems like it should’ve been one of the first things fixed, and yet it still persists to this day! Now granted it might just be me getting old and not knowing how to use technology like the youngins’ haha. However, it seems to me that it simply shouldn’t be that difficult to open the app to the page you were viewing in safari. I don’t know if it’s just with apple products or if other smartphone users have the same problem, but that’s my reason for a 4 out of 5. Hope this helps in someway or another!

Put ‘Communities’ back where it was. Who’s idea was it to hide the ‘Communities’ tab behind a pop-out menu button? Now when I am browsing one of my favorited communities and I back out, I am sent back to the home page rather than the list of my communities to chose from. It just adds an extra step for no reason at all. While you’re at it get rid of the ever-present trending tags at the top of the home page. Leave that on the popular page, I will never click on it unless by accident. A couple other things: When I am scrolling through a user’s posts/comments, and I dare to try scrolling back up, the user’s bio and avatar dominates half the screen for no apparent reason, making it difficult to view the actual posts. Also, everyone’s ‘Cake Day’ date is displayed as a random date in late January of 2018 regardless of their actual date joining the platform. You might want to look into that.

video player and explore tab are awful. the past few reddit updates are literally so horrible that i came here to write a review and i never write reviews. the video player is god awful on mobile, why when i click the comments to go to the post, it completely minimizes the video. then if i want to make the video bigger i click the video but if i swipe down it brings me to some random next video? no i want to leave!! why would i want to go to another random video?? what is the random video even from???? and now the newest update replaces the second tab on the left where i used to go to to find all my subreddits im subscribed to, my recent subs i visited and etc. and now it just has some useless explore feature showing random pictures and posts that im not even subscribed to. and theres ONE thin small bar at the top for me to horizontally scroll through all of my favorited subreddits. theres an option to click to view all which brings me back to the original screen but WHY IS THE EXPLORE PAGE THE DEFAULT. i joined reddit because it wasnt like typical social media, and now it is. horrible

Changes for the worse. The new UI is just ugly and ineffective. Everything is hollowed out and massive, trying to click a post opens awards instead much of the time. I get some of these things are for ease of access, but At least let us choose what UI skin we can use. Another couple months later, another horrible update. This time reddit is trying to copy Tiktok with a horrible video player. It’s auto plays videos despite setting the app not to, it skips all other non-video posts and discussions, and also hides the comments. If you’re here for user discussion or just trying to see the comments without accidentally force closing the app, this isn’t for you. This tiktok clone is trash. Most recently, the CEO has stated he has no intention to battle any of the misinformation on COVID or to stop the spread of stupid home grown accidental poisonings from using livestock dewormer or other alternatives that cause self harm or death. He has chosen to let his users to battle it out. This app is trash, from top to bottom.

ABSOLUTELY awesome to be able to ask advice from Someone/Anyone & Receive it ASAP. I have been extremely happy since I’ve found and become a member of Reddit. For the most part (like 90-96% of the time) I can ask a serious, and very personal question & I ALWAYS get a response, no matter what I’m asking. Yes SOMETIMES there is a troll, but they’re will always be one if your just going to sit on your bridge not sure which way to go at your crossroad. For me? That’s where Reddit sometimes comes in to help me. I’ll be stuck at my next crossroad, my juncture if you will. But I can’t quite decide for whatever reasons. Reddit’s place is also one of the most HILARIOUS if your lookin for the right threads, then you’ll know what I’m talking about, lol. I’m just SUPER STOKED that I’ve found Reddit, and I’m glad that others have too. Bc like life, it would be awfully boring going it alone! Thank you Reddit and my fellow Reddit-ers! Lol

Oh Reddit. I used to enjoy Reddit quite a lot until the account I hade of 1 year got permanently suspended which was weird because it does not list a reson for the ban it just says I have multiple volitions which I have know idea how that happened just that I’m being constantly “permanently suspended “ for repeat violations to my account, I sent a appeal but they denied it with out a reson . So at the very least I could creat a new account but no evry time I creat a new account I get banned within the first day wich just makes no sense it says I have multiple reported volitions but it won’t list them, I went to read the content policy and I literally didn’t do anything wrong and they still haven’t told me why I apparently have “repeated violations “ I would be ok with this if it stoped there but no every single new account I make to get on Reddit agin I get banned even if I didn’t post anything, it there something wrong with The app that it is iP blocking me? Or is Reddit just racist against its black users because that what I come down two , i shouldn’t have to use a VPN to not get banned for doing nothing.

Clunky?. I am an og reddit user from like 9 years ago. My understanding of the app was that you subscribed to different subreddits and that informed what appeared on your homepage. If you didn’t wanna see stuff from r/news and r/funny you could simply unsubscribe from those subs. etc. Now, rather than doing that, you have to create something called a “custom feed” which is like an itunes playlist and that’s where you can go to see stuff from just your communities. It’s kind of annoying to have to navigate the site this way but its ok. It general, it feels like they are trying to TikTok-ify the mobile app, with videos automatically playing one after another and swiping features enabled. Also, the default view is something called “card view” which prominently displays images. In my opinion, this looks cluttered and very ad centric. But if you switch to “traditional view” (top right corner), and also make your text smaller, it makes that app more usable in my opinion.

I love Reddit but there is a HUGE bug that has to be fixed. Reddit is cool for when you just want to chill and go to your favorite communities and meet people who have your same interests, but there is a problem. In some if not all of the communities it says I can’t post images. Now before you say, “some communities don’t allow images” in the subreddit I was in it LITERALLY had a flair titled “IMAGES” I even scrolled through and saw people posting images left and right but on mine it says it’s not allowed. I closed out the app, logged out, reseted my entire fricking iPad, and it still wouldn’t let me. I found out by doing some digging that it isn’t just me who is having this problem. This has to be fixed because I can’t even enjoy the app anymore. I always love posted OC art on subreddits but now I can’t. I spent 5 days making art for r/Pokémon for nothing due to this bug. Please fix it.

The most unique and customized social media platform out there. Many people look at me like I’m a nerd or dweeb when I say something about Reddit, but that’s just because they’ve never used it. Reddit possesses its own culture, comment memes, and sense of humor and it is just delightful. It’s where you can have a simple epiphany that gains you underserved adoration from thousands of random Redditors, and where you might just have the cofounder ask you if you’re his brother (both of which have happened to me, thank you Mr. O’Hanion). Reddit creates a feed based on your interests. There are thousands of subs dedicated to very specific things, many of which you didn’t even realize you were interested in. It’s not like FB or IG where you scroll and hope to find something interesting or relevant to you. On Reddit, the feed is made up of things you subbed to, and after you create a feed, you get to get your hands dirty in the comments... just do it, you won’t regret it.

Fun and interesting. If your looking to get your opinions bashed then there’s no better place than Reddit. No where can you find a worse community. I rate the app so high because it’s one of the best places to find alternative opinions and the app would be a 5 star if the people on it weren’t so terrible. Communities can be very biased towards alternative opinions but I don’t suggest using the app for political or opinionated reasons. You can easily find a community that agrees with you and easily find ones that disagree all the same. For some odd reason Reddit seems to get peoples hair in a twist. Something about how people talk to you our most likely they’re personal lives you find a well oiled source of negativity. I can’t blame Reddit for this since it’s the natural order of things but I would like every user to know that. Keep a open mind with everything and you’ll see a change in your entire perspective.

The best place ever to enjoy yourself!. I love Reddit because there are always interesting topics and opportunities to comment, where sometimes you can really help someone out. You can also receive a lot of advice, good bad or otherwise to sort through. It’s an opportunity to gain or renew perspectives on different topics and plenty of topics to choose from too. You just never know what people will be talking about and if you don’t like one topic there are many more to choose from. It’s really a window into the minds of others and often quite amazing that people can think so differently about the same thing. I’m ending up spending much more time on Reddit than I am on Facebook and always feel entertained and sometimes enlightened. It’s so easy to step outside of your own world and into the interesting worlds of others. I love and enjoy Reddit daily!

Reddits full of creeps. I was banned bc I commented on a Reddit discussion about how a certain porn star was not hot…thousands of “men” weighed in on the subject & I was just trying to warn them that porn addiction is real & ruined my marriage. I got banned from that sub Reddit almost immediately. Then I complained to the mods & they banned my entire account for “bullying” & “harressment” I’ve been bullied & harressed by NUMEROUS users on that account. A few I would block & bc on that app you can make multiple accounts, a few redditors would had more than 1 after I blocked them & kept messaging me! The app is FILLED with nudes & porn omg more than most porn sites I’d imagine! I don’t know how Apple keeps it in their App Store! I’ve messaged with at least 20 Redditors & they are all a lil or ALOT off & wanted to sext with me (the “men”) it’s a mental Verizon of Facebook. If you want to feel sane go on there for about 5 minutes. People down vote you for saying things like “I wish you’d love yourself” & people say how much they hate themselves or their lives & that’s fine but if you talk bad about porn….you’re banned. Utterly ridiculous. I’d LOVE to talk to the CEO of this company

Needle in a haystack. I just got introduced to Reddit because of a pretty cool backstory. Someone posted a photo of an item they were in search of replacing because it had broken that day. It was something sold in the dollar section @ Target 4+ years ago. “Needle in a haystack!” Unbeknownst to me, another person searched and found MY listing of that exact item on a selling app and sent a link to it to the man in search. This all happened within an hour of his initial posting. He was able to find and purchase the item from me (that he had searched the internet for hours to no avail) and was thrilled beyond belief. Selling it to him and hearing this story absolutely made my night and fully turned me on to Reddit & all it has to offer! Amazing APP to say the least. A must have …. It literally shows that anything is possible on the internet with this app as a tool!!!

Toxic moderators ruin the experience of Reddit. There are some great communities on Reddit and I like the idea behind it. However, if you share an opposing view in any political sub or one that deals with a sensitive social topic to initiate civil discussion you will be banned from that sub, even if you followed the subs rules to a T it doesn’t matter, and it doesn’t matter how respectful you are. These moderators also have a tendency to mute you for 28 days so that you’re unable to appeal or request further information regarding your ban, it’s incredibly childish. Unfortunately Reddit is an echo chamber for like-minded individuals, particularly for those that consider themselves progressive or lean to the Left. You will also be downvoted into oblivion and accused of being “Far-Right” or a “Trump supporter” for not following along with the herd, there is no having a civil discussion on this platform or sharing your opinion. Basically, those individuals can say what they want free of consequence including name calling or harassment. Ultimately after a couple of years of using Reddit I deleted my account, if subs can be moderated by adults in a respectful manner I’d consider rejoining.

New update makes the app unbearable with the new video player. I’ve used the Reddit app for about 2 years, despite all its bugs and flaws because I understand that my traffic contributes to the income the devs get. I am now deleting this app to move to Apollo 3rd party, as it seems there’s absolutely zero consideration to the user base when this new video player was designed. It’s the most unintuitive design imaginable, that irritates me every time i click on a gif or video post. Revert the unnecessary change and I’ll gladly revise this review, until then i don’t see myself coming back to this app. I don’t dislike it because it mirrors that of Tik-Tok, i hate it because of the new viewing window when looking at comments, the inability to enjoy cross-posted video threads, the pointless feature of being able to view other videos beneath it, as well as the irrational swipe feature to view comments. Blows my mind his a company decided to take a perfectly good feature about their app and then just completely obliterate it for something no one likes, and then ignore the feedback, find access to Reddit somewhere else.
