Comments on RedReader for Android

★★★★☆ Jordan Degerness · Feb 22, 2026

Overall works great. Recently in my Saved section, the saved comments stopped displaying - only saved posts are showing up.

★★★★☆ Grey Oranges · Nov 14, 2025

Recent bug fixes inbound, seems to have cleaned up most major issues. Good Dev response time, happy to restore the rating.

★★★★☆ 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

★★★★★ Kacper · Nov 14, 2025

Miles better than the official app, with plenty of customization to boot. I miss RiF, but this is great too.

★★★★★ corvid occult · Nov 14, 2025

When they took Reddit Is Fun in the divorce, Red Reader was the obvious solution. It's beautiful, and I love it like a child.

★★☆☆☆ 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.

★☆☆☆☆ 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.

★★☆☆☆ T Whip · Dec 4, 2025

Broken. Moved to a new phone but unable to reconnect/log into my Reddit account, despite all the options (e.g., phone no., email, reinstall, et al. -- all failed with an unhelpful error message. WTH?
