Like what do I even do at this point. Its a free app and these reviews hurt app store performance,
"Tell me you don't know how reddit works without saying you don't know how reddit works."

This person sounds insane like one of those people who lives in an RV with signs all over it talking about 5G nanobots and how water causes cancer.
There's a park in my area. Literally every time I have been there, over several years, there is a van in the parking lot. It has a wire mesh bust of Hillary Clinton on top, and is covered with writings about various conspiracy theories about her, and slogans like "Hillary for Jail!"
Possibly the craziest thing I've ever seen.

They probably don't understand how anything works because they think learning about stuff is "wOkE" and anyone who disagrees with them is a "leftist".

What a dipshit...
Hey I have done actual feedback/ issues with the app.
About half the time i try to load a video it fails to open it. This can occur on comments too.
Also sometimes going to a sub reddit and then a post then hitting back button on android will cause it to completely close the app, like the breadcrumbs history is missing so it thinks you just want to quit vs go back to the sub reddit or home.
Thanks a bunch for making it, it does make browsing possible on mobile like 50%of the time :D
I had issues with the video player as well. I solved it by clearing my cache for the app.
Never experienced your other issue though.

How do these apps still work? Aren't the apis fucked? Is this just some fancy browser with extra steps?
I'm on Android so I didn't look into OP's app. I just went looking into it after this post. Apparently if you create your own developer app ID and patch an app to use yours instead, I guess your usage is too low for Reddit to bill. Something like that.

I hope there’s a way to have the review removed for being irrelevant. I love your app btw, please keep it up. The only issue that’s kinda annoying right now is that I lose my place in the feed when I swipe back out from a post.
I see this all the time on user reviews. A quarter of them are just people bitching about partisan politics.
That's super dumb. Also, I thought there weren't 3rd party Reddit apps anymore? Do you not still have to pay for the API?
Third party apps with small users bases or ones that are used by people with disabilities (that have disability features) still work. For now. Also apps that allow for a read only view (meaning they can't be used to sign in, write/post comments, or upvote/downvote) also still work I believe.
There's a few tricks around it. Web scraping, for example. I could also see like a webview portal with a custom layout
Love your app, OP.
Seconded, it's amazing for occasional reddit use when you don't want your eyeballs seared by the normal interface!
Thank you so much!
No reason to engage an idiot, not like you're going to change his mind.
That's not the point. When you respond to reviews like this the goal is to point out to everyone else who might be reading it that the reviewer is in fact a nut, and therefore their opinion should be discarded out of hand.
You're responding to a Steve sock puppet account. It might not be him on the other end, likely it isn't, but it's his. He wants all the money and doesn't like to share because he's a greedy little pigboy.
