Comments on RedReader for Android

★★★★☆ ABJ photography & video · Nov 14, 2025

Post info says 4 comments, only 1 comment, settings are good. Instead of relative time at the post / comments absolute time would be better

★★★★☆ nochannel2013 · Nov 18, 2025

Latest update broke playback for all media, nothing plays natively anymore. You have to select external players. Emailed dev with reports and no reply. EDIT 11.18, dev replied and the latest update resolved the issues. Thanks!

★★★★★ Lydia Gurevich · Dec 11, 2025

I've been using Red Reader ever since Reddit broke the 3rd party apps, and I could no longer easily use RIF. The official Reddit app is trash and is practically unusable for a lot of people who spend a lot of time on Reddit (like me). Red Reader is an excellent alternative, and I'm very grateful for its existence. I highly recommend using this app instead of the non-RES browser site and Reddit's official app. Huge bonus: there are no ads on Red Reader. 11/10 stars.

It works amazingly well for me. It's the best ad free reddit experience you can get.

Just getting a moving circle at the bottom. No new posts

Unable to use this properly, because I can't add my Reddit account. Every text field on the login pages briefly shows the keyboard before it immediately collapses, so I can't add my username or password.

★★☆☆☆ Steven Sugerman · Oct 11, 2025

For me, login problem starts with being unable to set Red Reader to use browser to open Reddit login page, it only opens it in Red Reader in Android 16. App hasn't been updated in over a year. Still working on older Android phones.
