Flow for Reddit (Pre-Beta) for Android
I've always used Flow due to ease of use, lack of ads, and fluidity. Even through all the bugs and lack of support, it draws me back. Now that the developer is back, I'm sure it won't be long before it's known world wide this is the go-to app for Reddit. EDIT: Please come back, Deepak. It's been a very long time and reddit uploads images are still broken and do not hand off the URL to chrome properly.
So glad you are back to working on Flow, can't wait to see the new design! *Was excited that you were going to start working on it again but was let down a few months after. You had a good thing going here.*
Frontpage for my account is just blank, has been for weeks, app doesn't seem to be updated anymore or any issues addressed. I also often couldn't view images from redditupload in threads
Man, u r well on ur way in creating a very efficient Reddit client. Some things that are needed like 1) Feedback option, so that people don't have to spam feedback here or through mail. 2)whenever imgur links are opened, it should automatically display the images without having to shift from txt to web format. It gets annoying after a while.
App is now completely broken, front page doesn't load. Previous review: Some imgur links don't load in the app at all, and I have to open them up in Chrome. Also, the new reddituploads links never work either, just brought to an error page.
When it works it's great.. But recently I have been unable to view the front page it jus comes up blank..
I use this app more than anything else on my phone... in a perfect world that would support image uploads to the new iReddit uploads service.thanks
I havent been able to use Flow for a couple of months. Tried updating but didnt help. The app loads but no content will show.
been using it for couple of years. good apo, good interface, intuitive. but recently it stopped showing me updates. like i can see one page .. and if i scrol down further, it doesmt refresh and doesnt show new threads. it started suddenly. i have no idea why. develop.. could you please fix this. otherwise i will need to leave this nice app.
Have always loved this app, been using it for the past couple years. But for the past month or so, the Frontpage and All Subreddits have not been working all the time, which has been frustrating. They are just blank and even when they do load, its only 1 page, they won't load more content or refresh. Individual subs still load though. I don't know what happened but I wish the devs would fix it, I really like(d) this app..
Loved it. Been waiting for messaging functionality, also when you go through someone's profile and see the comments, the option to see the original conversation? Idk if it's just me, but I wasn't able to get around that. Keep up the great work buddy.
Crashing has become more frequent. Pics from the ireddituploads domain do not load. Most of the time as of late (2016-09-10) the app just doesn't load anything, or it loads ~25 threads and refuses to load any more
I've been using this for reddit for two years now and for the past two weeks I haven't been able to visit all, my front page, or my saved section, but individual subreddits work fine. It's a great app when it's working but this bug is making me use a different app until this problem is fixed
Images uploaded on reddit instead of imgur don't load, it says "URL signature match failed". Rating decreased to 1 star since the dev has still not fixed this. Lame. App is in "pre-beta" since forever.
This has been my favourite Reddit app. Something about the layout and appearance makes it stand out and hard to adjust to alternatives. Unfortunately updates are too slow and sporadic. Bugs currently: sometimes refuses to load /r/all or /r/front-page. Sometimes can't load user information.
Or at least feels that way. The imgur links rarely show, imgur gifs never work. Three stars because it is fast (for the things that work) and because there are no ads. Thumbs up, keep up the good work devs
When opening video gifs, the user is forced to use the option to open it in the browser. Then, it automatically adds a .jpg extension that must be manually removed. It makes it so I don't even want to waste time on these posts.
Love this one more than the others I've tried, the only reason I'm not five staring it is because the i.reddituploads images that people share refuse to load (uri signature match failed) which forces me to use other clients to view those.
My favorite reddit client for Android by far. The app hadn't been updated for a year, and then the dev showed us he was still around by fixing a few minor things. Keep in mind that the app is still in alpha and it's better than all the other clients. Just a very good feeling app. Even though the update was minor, it fixed a lot of bugs and I see great things for the future.
I love the layout of this app but a couple of issues. Imgur gift have "vf.jpg" added to the end of their links for some reason which causes them to not load. YT videos can't change orientation in the app or they freeze. All other video sources continue to pay audio even when you hit back to leave them.
It's pre-beta, so there are definitely still some kinks. To me, right now it looks like a less pretty reddit sync with the potential to be much better. One feature that is missing that is pretty much a deal breaker even though it's small is there is no option to change the thumbnail for NSFW posts. There's only the option to hide them altogether. If that feature was added (look to reddit sync for what I'm talking about) I'd be all about Flow for reddit.
But it doesn't work on my galaxy note 2. The videos and gifs don't resize, if you swipe right to pan on the large gift you can't swipe left again without going back to the list. Audio from a playing video would not stop until another was started. Hope these issues clear up by beta.

It does not support reddit uploads. In order to view anything through this medium I have to use the browser which is pretty annoying. Resolve this for five star review.
"Not authorized". I personally prefer this reddit client vs the official one, but as Reddit's internal image hosting becomes more popular, I find myself using the official reddit app just to view content.
It's the best reddit app I tried so far but now it just don't work as it crash automatically after loading the content... Even after reinstall.... Edit... Ok, it's working back now
I never tried other Reddit reader app, because this one hooked me up. Though there are some app crash here and there, one notable issue is that its own image viewer has one broken feature -- the download image button does not work. The app crashes when it is used. But all in all, 'tis a great app.
Many links and photos will not open in the client. Reddit uploads links will not open whatsoever. I like the app a lot, if it was more functional it'd be a complete 5 star. Until then it's a comfortable 3
I've been using this app for a few years and when I use other clients they just feel clunky and outdated. Aside from some internal browser issues, this app is great and I couldn't use a different client.

Very nice and simple to use. I got used to the interface rather quickly. There is no way to enter a subreddit name though, but it seems like it would be easily implemented.
Good design, but hasn't been updated in ages. Has issues with .webm playback and crashes when to many imgur photos load. Please update! Would pay for a polished version.
Crashes or will go blank while scrolling then the page refreshes and I cannot find what I was reading. The videos will not work in landscape mode the videos used to play And when I went to landscape mode it would still play but now it won't load and as of the newest update my videos no longer play in app it will say connection error. Also There should be a go back to last visited place so when the app randomly goes blank or reloads on it's own I won't lose my place.
bug report: if I search a for a keyword and press like from the search results, app doesnt actually like the post. same goes for when you go inside the post and like the comments.
Best reddit app I've used so far. Encountered a little bug though: the "back" arrow in the Message Hub on the top right-hand corner is not working.I have to use the "back" button of my phone.
Still enjoying this app but image from iredditupload not working at all. Really hope the dev would consider another update. It's a pity to see app this good gone to waste
This app has such great potential, but there's just so many flaws. I still use this app for reddit cause it's simply so easy and smooth as long as you're only using the features that work.
Fantastic gestures and voting interface but lack of updates is killing the app. Scrolling sideways in webview keeps moving panes. Content quick view doesn't work for 90% of posts. Need to resort to slow Web view killed this client. Why has this not been open sourced?
