Best Reddit app out there hands down. Only thing I wish is that I had the ability to return to the same section I was on if I accidentally hit back to the main menu. Rather than having to scroll all the way back down through all the posts. Maybe a right swipe or something... Anyways, great app.

R70%
by R####:

Absolutely amazing. I have yet to have a single problem with it. Being able to save off line is also extremely helpful and I use it all the time

O70%
by O####:

The recent update made the app always go to the subreddit list when opened, even from the recents menu! So if I read something, open telegram for example, then I go back, everything is lost!

O70%
by O####:

Simply the best. The only thing it's lacking is a search.

X70%
by X####:

It's very good and minimal , I just would like to see stream able gifs and video and option to download top 30 topic of each subreddit to cache

X70%
by X####:

Stable and quick with lots of settings to tweak it the way you want it. Love this.

L70%
by L####:

Maybe ability to sync between devices would be appreciated

Great Reddit app. Infinitely better than Reddit is Fun.

Absolutely love it.

X70%
by X####:

An app that does what all the paid reddit apps can't do: provide me with a search function that accurately weeds through comments to find comments containing my keyword(s) and serving them to me in a simple list. Thank you and bless. Now, I just wish there was a way to disable animations.

D70%
by D####:

Constant "reddit sent some data i couldn't understand" errors. Plus no longer seem to be able to save cache to sdcard lollipop. Please add offline cache scheduler. Would be great if reddit was ready to read when I wake up in the morning and run to the subway

T70%
by T####:

Love it. Ad-free, relatively low net use with gifs and imgs, great internal features and, again, ad-free. Signed up via this app, never leaving it again. In my opinion even better than the official site and app combined. Thanks dev, for creating something actually useful, my compliments.

Ad free experience optimized for slow connections. Ridiculously fast! Very smart caching built in

X70%
by X####:

Keep having problems with it not loading data from reddit, I have to kill and restart the app. Any suggestions?

X70%
by X####:

Would have been a 5, but it lacks a very important function - search. I can't sort search by "Top Today/Month/Year" etc.

X70%
by X####:

Could you add an option to select whether to save images as gif or mp4 or other formats? other than that Love the app. Add free, nice gui, more features than any other even the official app. Great work!

K70%
by K####:

My wife gave me a handy after I downloaded this app. Good stuff!

X70%
by X####:

Search is as useless as in the official app. When it can't find the nose on its face it squawks "Reddit is down".

X70%
by X####:

If there was a way to edit your own posts and it handled Reddit mark up to show tables then 5 stars for sure.

Y70%
by Y####:

Is it possible to add support for the new 18:9 and 18.5:9 phones. Please and thankyou.

I have been a Relay user for years and I have tried out many Reddit apps. At the end, went back to Relay. This is the first Reddit app that is really making me have thoughts about not using Relay anymore. I'm living it a lot so far. I would like to donate to dev, but (s)he only accepts Bitcoin. Any other options?

K70%
by K####:

It's a very lightweight and pretty looking app, does everything you need it to and looks good doing it. Only real complaint is that clicking a comment opens a menu that covers the whole screen, including the back button on the top left, so fairy often you'll save or vote on comments you didn't mean to.

X70%
by X####:

Great application. I think it's so underrated just because you don't really know what it does by name alone. You kinda have to stumble in it through Reddit or related apps.

X70%
by X####:

The side bar from the right. Some images appear to open with scrollbar. Zooming out doesn't change the ability to load the side bar menu. Unable to save image etc.

X70%
by X####:

Everything loads great except when you click to see more conments. Also large gifs are downloaded not steamed which causes slow loading to see.

by X####:

Nice app! Works like a charm in my phone (with only 512mb of RAM). I wish there was an option to download the images directly from the preview/album, and also an option to choose the download directory. Keep up the good work!
