## Review summary

Alerts for Reddit is praised for easy setup, strong customization, and reliable time-sensitive alerts, plus good value and responsive support. Many users compare it favorably to Reddit’s app. However, multiple reviews report notification delivery issues (missing or not showing in the Notification Center) and reliability problems after updates (filters can cause noise). Users also request missing features such as comment notifications and per-post subscriptions. Overall, it’s a powerful, user-friendly tool with room to improve reliability and expand features.

### Pros

- Highly customizable alerts (keywords, subreddits, and users; exclude words)
- Easy to use and reliable for time-sensitive Reddit alerts
- Strong value: free or good value across various use cases
- Excellent developer support and responsiveness to user feedback
- Often considered better than Reddit's official app for alerts

### Cons

- Notifications sometimes fail to be delivered or don’t appear in Notification Center
- Reliability issues with filters after updates leading to noise or unexpected alerts
- Missing features commonly requested by users (e.g., notifications for comments or subscribing to specific posts)
