Comments on RedReader for Android

★★★★☆ Robyn Broyles · Oct 22, 2026
So much more streamlined than the native Reddit app. I have only one issue, and that's that image uploading leaves a lot to be desired. You can't make a post with multiple images, and all images are hosted on Imgur, which I've learned is now blocked in the UK (I've had people comment they can't view my images, and now I know why). I don't know whether there is a solution to the Imgur issue but thought I'd mention it. Keep up the good work though!
★★★★★ 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.
★★★★★ I H · Aug 9, 2026
Seriously best reddit browsing app, the update fixed everything and this is just an amazing tool for imho all things' internet. Thanks to all who do what they do with this app. Is there a way to re-engage the NSFW posts? Mine redirects me to the browser no matter what the post is marked NSFW for
★☆☆☆☆ bob dole · Feb 20, 2026
How to search for a Subreddit I want? On first install, why auto follow so many random Subreddits? Baffling start
★☆☆☆☆ Damien O'Brien · Jul 2, 2026
The app works fine, I use it for R18+ content, and this app doesn't allow you to view content, even though it has settings for it. Forces you to use official reddit app.
★☆☆☆☆ Jan Pokorný · Mar 30, 2026
Can't log in. Username / password fields instantly lose focus when tapped. It looks like there's a cookie dialogue box hidden behind the login modal stealing the focus, however I couldn't figure out how to get rid of it: closing the login modal lets me close the cookie dialogue, then going to log in again works but doesn't log me in Red Reader itself, just the in-app browser.
★☆☆☆☆ Ben proctor-morris · May 12, 2026
For me, not being able to freely zoom on videos hurts this app a lot, very disappointing for an app focused on accessibility (zoom to fill is not enough). Otherwise, it is ok but as a visually impaired person, I cannot enjoy Reddit fully. Edit: dropping to 1 star as zoom is still not implemented.
★☆☆☆☆ User Name · Jun 7, 2026
Just getting a moving circle at the bottom. No new posts
★☆☆☆☆ Mark James · Feb 26, 2026
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.
