Since a lot of you asked me to build an Android version and post about it here when I launch, and I sincerely apologise that I forgot to post on lemmy sooner. The free app was launched on Play store almost a month ago and has garnered some excellent reviews. It has feature parity with the iPhone App and works on all Android 8.0+ devices.
You can download the app here.
Any feedback is wholeheartedly welcome, you can also post issues and contribute to the rdx web app on Github.
You must log in or register to comment.
You should consider seasonal themes like halloween and shit down the road
Here me thinking what a theme called Shit Down the Road would look like.
Yes I will add some seasonal themes for sure.
thx I just downloaded the ios app. I havent used reddit much anymore but I do miss few subreddits to check the latest news.
Thank you for checking out the app.
Sigma male grindset: lurk on reddit and then be active on lemmy
Hey I use this all the time on my browser, really appreciate it. I did install the “app” when prompted by chrome which I think just creates a chrome based app but one of the things I find difficult is getting to r/all and filtering to top hour. All doesn’t come up when sarched and filtering by hour isnt an option.
Ill give the actual app a go and I really appreciate your work, it is a great experience.
Yes that’s the web app. You can install from play store now, it has many new features.
There does seem to be some minor issues. I’m seeing the same posts I saw earlier reappear as I scroll, and it doesn’t seem to be updating unless you sort by new.
Can you please offer a download off of genocide tech corp platform?
Something like f-droid would be nice.
Or just builds available on GitHub.
Looks nice! I sent a link to the gf who’s on iPhone. She’s always complaining about ads, and I never know what’s out there for her as I’m on android. I installed it too so I can give it a look.
After not looking at Reddit’s front page in a year, it’s a bit of a shock seeing an unfiltered feed! 😮
95% of the features are same on iOS and Android.
Nice app, considering i still lurk on some subreddits using mobile browser.
Btw, is there a way to refresh the subreddit page? Seems I can’t do usual pull down to refresh for now
tap the three bars on top left > Refresh
For the love of god please make a dark mode
Edit: nvm found out there is a settings menu. FYI it’s easy to overlook, at least for smooth brains like me
There are multiple light and dark themes already available in Settings > Appearance. Will add a full theme customiser as a vanity feature somewhere in the future.
Maybe the wrong place, but I’ve consistently had a bug with the iOS version where it will start repeating posts after awhile with no way to fix it. Refresh or restarting the app doesn’t fix it.
As a suggestion/feedback. Could you please make it so you can block certain subreddits from appearing in your feed? I know you can subscribe but I am actually fine with most subreddits apart from a select view.
In next updates.
Looking for a Chromeless way to import subs from Android
use any other browser? you just have to login once.
How does this work? I thought the API charges killed all free reddit viewers.
It’s read-only.
That won’t stop them from blocking once they notice. Years ago Hulu blocked a Hulu app on xbmc. It wasn’t even like it bypassed ads. But every month they’d block and the developers had to make a work around. So it was one month working, one month not.
Personally I’m fine with never using reddit unless something comes up in a search or a post. It only prolongs switching to alternatives.
I feel like I need more and more “web transformers” or addons or “enhancers” that transform shitty website to make the web useful again. Since we can’t rely on APIs and external apps in the future, maybe we could create an platform or an AI that helps with reprogramming various websites.
Besides social media I’d love to see this for shops and video streaming as well. Also reader view has been a godsend. Web is getting worse and worse.
Probably parses old.reddit.com
Reddit claims that’s illegal too. They now block Microsoft from indexing them because Microsoft isn’t paying them.
That’s only because they honor robots.txt. App users aren’t robots, so it’s ok.

I’ll second this request. I prefer to get software through FDroid when possible. I use Stealth in combo with Libreddit currently, but this has a nice UI.
I will try to upload an APK somewhere for people to install. Stealth of course is a very good app.
You can use APKpure and it’s siblings to download for now.

Very cool! Any thoughts on getting this on fdroid?
You could also post this on !android@lemdro.id and other places
Yeah I have to make the subscribe button more prominent. Multireddits are planned for a future updates however you can import your subscriptions currently in the Settings tab.
Hey, very cool app. One thing that could be a massive improvement is the ability to tap the thumbnails in “compact mode” to open a bigger version of the image without loading the whole post. Boost (for reddit and for lemmy) has something like this (though not as snappy as I’d like), and relay for reddit had the perfect implementation of this. It was quick and easy. You tap the thumbnail to blow the image up to the max screen width, tap again to dismiss the image. Ideally there would be no lag between when you tap and when the image is loaded, same with dismissing. (I disabled double tap in relay so the image dismissal didn’t wait for a 2nd tap, making it quicker.)
Obviously this is a very nice and niche feature, so it might be outside the scope of the app. But if you find yourself itching to add some features, keep this in mind :) It would fit well with the “fast, fluid browsing” theme of the app.
I took a video to give a quick example but uploading it to lemmy.world isn’t working, I don’t want to share my youtube account, and I don’t want to make you download a random file from a file sharing site, so you can check out this behavior in those 2 apps if you need an example.
I get what you are saying, just pushed an update to Apple with the new compact mode. Android soon.
