About redditastic – reddit widget

redditastic is NO LONGER ACTIVELY SUPPORTED!
Full source code available here: https://github.com/blazeroni/redditastic

redditastic brings your favorite reddit.com subreddits to your home screen or lock screen!

redditastic is a stand-alone home screen widget for Android 3.0+ devices (Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, and Jelly Bean). Great as a companion to a full-fledged reddit app you're probably already using!

Known Issue:
* Login no longer works :(

Features:
* Load posts in many popular reddit apps including reddit is fun, Reddit News, baconreader, Diode, Reddionic, Reddita - or in your favorite browser
* Customize each widget - change the name, subreddits, and sorting
* Login to reddit to view your own reddit front page
* Multiple subreddits can be combined in a single widget
* Use the action menu on each widget to easily edit or refresh (collapsed by default, tap the '>' to expand it)
* Pick between a light or dark theme
* Scrollable and resizable
* Automatic refresh
* Change the default action for posts with links (View Link, View Comments, or Ask).

Note: If you change the default action for posts with links, be aware that only links leading to reddit.com can be loaded in your installed reddit apps (and not all apps handle all types of reddit links). Non-reddit links will use your browser or possibly YouTube. Most reddit apps give you an easy way to view the link if one exists, so leaving the setting on "View Comments" is recommended.

What are users saying about redditastic – reddit widget

X70%
by X####:

Pretty much the gist of it. It does what it says it'll do except there is no dark theme at all. There is a light theme but the "dark" theme is broken and is instead 100% transparent. Please properly implement a dark theme. Will be a 5/5 if so.

R70%
by R####:

"Login failed. Cannot login at this time. Please try again later." There is no widget available in my widget drawer. I will keep this installed and update my rating if these issues are fixed. Rooted Galaxy Note 3.

K70%
by K####:

Cant sign in, keeps saying to try again later. Otherwise it's good!

L70%
by L####:

Customizable update frequency, ability to view multiple subreddits in single widget, clean UI, works well with 3rd party reddit apps (protip: use "view comments" setting to open in reddit app)

Q70%
by Q####:

Needs to be able to load more sequential pages beyond just the front page.

A70%
by A####:

Attempted to login with my username and password. Tested same username and password with 3 other apps and on reddit desktop site. Used to love this widget till it broke.

N70%
by N####:

Not bad, but no longer able to login to my reddit account. I know this issue has already been fixed once, and for a while everything worked without a hitch. But it seems this issue needs fixing again.

E70%
by E####:

I love this widget but can't login.

R70%
by R####:

I can use the widget, but not to its full potential. Log in fails each time and it's not a username/password issue, since the app alerts you of that. I'll reassess my rating if I'm able to get logged in eventually.

"Cannot log in at this time, please try again later". Garbage app that used to actually work.

was working good previously... cannot login now

Used to be the best widget for reddit on Android. Unfortunately doesn't work anymore. Hope the developer can fix/update it.

E70%
by E####:

This app is great and I really love the customizability of the widget; however, the lack of endless scrolling really makes the app quite useless. Only having the first page is not that great as people get by the first page really fast. Would totally rate 5 stars if it had endless scroll.

D70%
by D####:

I'd really love to use Redditastic, especially in conjunction with my favorite Reddit app. Unfortunately, after a bit of research, it looks like users of HTC Sense 4 (EVO, One X, etc) are not able to choose which app Redditastic opens. We only have a choice of browsers for all web URLs. (This is due to HTC's App Associations changes in Sense 4, required thanks to a lawsuit. For more info, see: htclinkifydispatcher.) I hope Redditastic is updated with an option to explicitly choose which Reddit app to open.

Love it. Does what its supposed to do and no more.

D70%

Please add subreddit titles to each post.

W70%
by W####:

But ever since Lollipop it doesn't always scroll correctly. Since it doesn't seem to be maintained anymore it's sadly not something I use anymore.

D70%
by D####:

I love how you can easily use this widget with my choice of reddit app.

G70%
by G####:

Please add subreddit titles to each post, and allow clicking directly on the thumbnail to open the link while anywhere else leading to comments. Would be 5 stars.

Q70%
by Q####:

I like widget, but it needs the following options: Show subreddit titles, endless scroll, a bar that lets you upvote/downvote/save/etc. a post, and automatically update more often than every hour.

N70%
by N####:

Can't do transparent widget, only white

P70%

Feature request: easy way to share link to pocket without having to open another app.

Q70%

Baconreader's widget sucks, but THIS APP SAVED ME! Pairs perfectly with your favorite Reddit app! Love it love love it

"Unable to log in at this time please try again later"

This has been my go-to widget for browsing reddit for over a year now. It has worked great up until now, and would've been a 4-5 star rating. That is, until reddit added the optional HTTPS login. The feature is still not supported by the widge. Unfortunately, it's starting to appear that it's been abandoned. The last update was almost 2 years ago, so I can't imagine an update for that one feature is on the way anytime soon. Too bad......

Q70%
by Q####:

The widget is awesome - UI beats any widget out there! Wish it'll login with the new https login option. Please fix!

Q70%
by Q####:

Subscribed subreddits with underscores in their name do not show up in the list. They must be typed manually. Fix this and you get 5 stars!

Q70%

Good looking and works well

Q70%
by Q####:

It doesn't have all the sub reddits that I'm subscribed to ..

A70%
by A####:

I love the widget. Very clean and functionally sound. But it would be really great if we could pull down to refresh.

Q70%
by Q####:

I love the fact this has no permissions! Sadly all I can get is the settings menu, the widget is not in my widget list.

Q70%

Best widget out there for quick browsing.

Simply amazing

great

Q70%

Add subreddit titles for each post, and allow clicking thumbnail to go directly to link, while anywhere else leading to comments.

D70%
by D####:

but does not remember my subreddits and falls back to the default reddit frontpage.

great app

Q70%

Uninstalled.

H70%
by H####:

I've been using this app since it came out and the widget is the most low profile and stylistically pleasing in my opinion. If you could please make the widget background fully transparent, that would be perfect and enough for 5 Stars out of me.
