I'm sorry to say this amazing app is broken for me. I've changed my Reddit password multiple times and I still can log in. I've changed my default default browser, cleared data and cache, waited 15 minutes, nothing. The strange thing is that I'm able to log in to a stand alone browser but the second it's through the app, in a browser, it says username/password not valid, as if my keystrokes are wrong.

This app would have earned five stars, but it only worked for me for a couple days before it rejected every password, even though my credentials are correct. This is the same issue many others are currently having and reporting on Google Play. I checked through my settings on Reddit, and even deauthorized all third party apps while changing my password, and the issue still persists. RedReader is a phenomenal app aside from that.

Boost stopped working for me so I switched to this. I don't know if it's because I'm so used to Boost's superior UI, but I am really struggling with RedReader's functions. The most ludicrously designed one is the search functions. Yes that's right, there are multiple searches - one for key word searches, one for subreddits, and one for users. For some reason, the key word search is found in a completely different menu. There is also no search button anywhere on the main menu bar. Legit insane UI

Best Reader ever! Can only recommend this masterpiece. It ist lightning fast and really customizable! Love the left hand mode, so few devs think about that. As a leftie with a big Phone and little fingers this ist life saving! Only Feature requests would be a dedicated button to reply. Longpress to reply in a Thread or pressing the Options menue in the top right ist cumbersome and mit really intuitive.

Do not waste your time with this app. I tried logging in with my credentials that I knew were obviously right, and it continued to tell me I'm using an invalid username or password. I even changed the password to test this and be 110% sure, and it still wouldn't work. Devs, fix this or just delete the whole app from existence, please. Thanks!

It's free and has been stable so far. The theme is pleasing to the eyes and being able to log into multiple accounts is great. However, it lacks multi-reddits, from what I can see. Otherwise, it's a wonderful app. Edit: This app is a staple now to me, with multi-reddit support. I'd prefer comment threads to expand/collapse, rather than navigate to a new screen, but all in all this is a well-done open source app.

It's one of few options left outside of the official Reddit app or paying a subscription. The good: light weight, functional floating window unlike the official app, fullscreen AMOLED. The iffy: no colored text options with a not very intuitive UI which leads to everything looking cluttered, imperative to customize the UI, no history, main screen should be a drawer and you can't go "back". It does the job and it's not bad, I hope the dev does a QOL pass which will enhance the experience greatly.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE INITIAL FEEL, MAKE SURE TO PLAY WITH THE SETTINGS. THERE'S A TOOONNNN OF OPTIONS THERE TO MAKE IT FEEL GOOD! Coming off of RIF now that most 3rd parties have been killed off, this app is not quite what I'm used to but most of the changes are either just different, not really worse. It has a feel and look not quite like other apps but the sheer number of options make it very digestible. Very pleased!!!
