“Awful behavior — Stop forcing users to use the mobile app. There are a handful of reasons I don’t want to download your app. Let us browse in peace. I guess I should thank you for helping reduce my Reddit consumption.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Web site forces you to app — Web site foreces you to app - so dumb” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Download Pop Up — 1 star intrusive pop up when using Reddit via a browser” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

“Anti-user UI — They constantly change the UI, and it only ever gets worse. When will the devs stop ruining the app?” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Keyboard — What the heck did you do to the keyboard? Severe typing lag and can’t highlight anything anymore.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Stop breaking the app — They keep updating it and changing things that dont need to be changed. Now the comment window opens separately and it's absolute trash on mobile. Need to fix a typo? too bad, you've exited the post because you cant maneuver around. The developers dont use the app in the slightest” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

“Deleting after 10 years — First they force 3 party apps to shut down, then they ad adds to their app, then they delete r/all. Now they’re pushing people away from the website to the app. The final straw was showing me ads for things I google searched 10 minutes ago. They’ve completely ruined Reddit with their greed.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“stop telling me to join more communities — you created a new scammy section at the bottom of a now truncated following feed, ostensibly to get me to use the app more, except the it you replaced was AN INFINITE SCROLL. WHAT WOULD INCREASE MY APP USAGE MORE THAN LETTING ME CONTINUE TO SCROLL AND SEE MORE POSTS? use common sense” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“No longer our Reddit — Whomever decided this latest update was great should be fired. It’s no longer a Reddit for you it’s an spamddit or Adddit. All you get is “suggested communities for you” spammed in your feed just because you visited it once it’s constantly being shown to you 👎👎” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

We have not read this app's reviews yet. Apple rations that feed to about one page per address every ten minutes and refuses datacentre addresses, so the reading is done by hand — the rating above is live, the complaints are not there yet.
