I wish there were: 1) a way to pay to remove adverts 2) up/down vote buttons 3) auto fill on adding subreddits (start typing and it gives you a list of real subreddits) 4) a stand back view. (List of titles with thumbnails so you can quickly scroll up/down to find where you left off if you need to.

Can we get a paid version of this app? The add that pops up what seems like every other image or after opening a gallery gets annoying fast. I understand the need for it but since the last update, it's out of control.

Would be a fine app for killing time on reddit if the damn thing wouldn't crash every 5 minutes. - I've continued using the app off and on for over a year since my last review and the only thing I can say about it now is that it now goes into bouts of crashing every 5 seconds instead of every five minutes. Find a different app for reddit. This one is absolute garbage.

C70%
by C####:

Simple app to view basically a manual slideshow of reddit images. If you're just a lurker and that's all you do anyway, this could be useful. But there's no way to login, no way to view comments, upvote, etc. Could use some options for text/title display, like adding a shadow/outline/background since it's sometimes hard to read. There's no stopping gifs, also starting gifs should happen automatically or by clicking on the picture instead of by clicking the tiny "gif" circle.

W70%
by W####:

It's a decent app. I had a different one but apparently it doesn't exist anymore so I decided to give this one a chance. One of the problems I have is it will crash all of a sudden but won't let me send a report. It won't give me an option, it just closes the app. Also that it won't load some subreddits even though I know they exist.

C70%
by C####:

Ideal for people who want to quickly view the pics/posts on reddit, sweeping action makes it very easy. Wish there was a paid ad free version. Also if the post has multiple pics then the app doesn't allow you to view them.

C70%
by C####:

Was a great concept and haven't found anything to match, but starting to age (force closes, image galleries no longer work). Sadly devs seem to have abandoned it.

A70%
by A####:

Tried everything...reinstall, updates, etc. Ads still work. :| too bad. This was my fave Reddit app.

W70%
by W####:

Need to be able to read comments within the app and need to be able to change the theme. I would love to see this with a true black theme for amoled displays. I would definitely purchase the full version / donate if these things happen.

L70%
by L####:

App crashes every 6 or 7 pictures. Very painful. Other than that it is good.

C70%
by C####:

Crashes unexpectedly and albums won't load. If these were fixed it would be a 4/5 star app.

C70%
by C####:

Worked fine for a while then suddenly stopped handling imgur galleries. Renders the app basically useless. Fix that and it's more like 4 stars.

A70%
by A####:

This app has too many bugs and crashes regularly. Unfortunately it's the best Reddit app available if you only want to browse pictures

W70%
by W####:

I love this app and to me it's the best reddit app out there. But it crashes everytime I use it, and now it's just not even worth using.

C70%
by C####:

When you swipe right but swipe back before the new picture loads always crashes. Dev please fix thia and I'll give 5 stars

C70%
by C####:

It's great if you want to see individual subs but there's no way to swipe through a customized list of subreddits. It also constantly crashes.

C70%
by C####:

This app as so much potential. I like the slick design, buttery smoothness, when its not glitching. Fix the glitching and support account login and would be perfect (for me). Would buy to remove ads.

Y70%
by Y####:

Pretty well actually. I've never had problems with this app. Some people says it lacks features but this app is great for just casually swiping across Reddit.

C70%
by C####:

App reminds me of the reddit pics HD app that was discontinued. Which was a very good app. All it needs is the ability to sync your reddit account with the app (upvote/downvote/save/subreddits/etc) and the option to autoload gifs. Anyone that frequents gif oriented subreddits is probably going to steer clear of this app.

O70%
by O####:

But since then has added ads, bothered me rating, lost the ability to load gifs and thinks pictures with title and description in imgur is an album.

C70%
by C####:

It keeps crashing. After not even 10 minutes of use, the app crashes and closes.

X70%
by X####:

This app responds well and the UI is simple enough. Just swipe right. I want to request a feature though: allow the app to remember the last post that you viewed and start from there or from the beginning if you choose. As it is, if you back out the app/close it, starts you at beginning.

R70%
by R####:

This is my plea for this app to be fixed. I love this app. The only problem is that every time I use it the app will crash after swiping for just a few minutes. It could be just me that it is happening to, but on my nexus 6 it is guaranteed that it will crash every time I use it.

H70%
by H####:

Could do with an option to open a specific sub. Needs fix to handle imgur albums. Four stars if those things are addressed.

J70%
by J####:

So this method of browsing reddit is great for an easy pick up and go, but you can't rate posts, or even log in at all, so managing subreddits can be quite difficult. One you get the subs you want though, is pretty great

R70%
by R####:

It works cleanly and fairly well but it's extremely lacking in configuration for an app that's otherwise designed to provide fluid interaction with the user.

R70%
by R####:

Excellent all for picture viewing. Used up 100s of hours with this app. It does crash after a while browsing but stable generally. Galleries no longer work. Black screen.

E70%
by E####:

What is a great way to pass the time, catch up on the latest and greatest images that Reddit has to offer AND increase your chances of having a break down? Swipe for Reddit. Many a chuckle is quickly followed by a gasp as, yet again, 'Swipe has stopped working' pop's up to ruin your day. Would be a great app if it didn't crash every 20 or so posts. I could even handle the crashes if it managed to save your last viewed location. Has been like this for months so wouldn't expect much to change anytime soon.

R70%
by R####:

This app is great for browsing reddit. This being said, the app constantly crashes. Often I will only be able to swipe through a couple posts before it crashes. I will force close and reopen the app only to find it crash again after viewing a few posts. I've been experiencing this issue for quite a while now and would appreciate a fix.

K70%
by K####:

Although there are some apps almost as good as swipe I couldn't find one I like better. Also the app is 10x better if you have the "reddit is fun" app to go with it this allows you to comment and vote on pics.

I70%
by I####:

Great way to read redit, smooth searching, it's quick and good quality, however a few things should be adressed; often crashes and when you reopen it you start back at the first page having to go through everything twice

L70%
by L####:

But it is really well done. The good is that images and gifs load very smoothly and that it easily allows sorting between different subreddits. The not so good, you still have to go to the website to see discussion threads and comment / vote. I won't discredit a great app for these things. For me personally, this is just a great way to get a quick check in without having to visit the webpage.

It's great for viewing photos of your favorite subreddits, but it likes to crash a lot ( Motorola droid turbo). Also, would like to see an option to save/ download GIFs. Otherwise, a good app.

L70%
by L####:

Would've given it 5 stars but it crashes a ton. Im using the Galaxy S6+ but from what it seems other people are having the same issue. Please fix!!

L70%
by L####:

You ll need a browser to comment on posts, but the app does not have an inbuilt feature of doing this.

R70%
by R####:

I used to love this app, but due to recent update, I cannot open image files. If there is a post with multiple images, when I click on it they wont load. It used to be fine but its all stuffed now. Hope they fix it quick!

Z70%
by Z####:

Can't view galleries. Can't change display settings. Defaults back to the front page every time you leave the app. Can't log in to an account.

R70%
by R####:

Solid app, but I wish I didn't have to clear my junk files to save space every time I decide to use this app. If possible, prevent the app from causing junk when browsing and it will become more popular.
