User Reviews

Reviews praise lurkur for being ad-free, login-free, and beginner-friendly with a clean, minimalist interface and subreddit import. However, users repeatedly report crashes, hangs, slow loads, broken search/filters, and media playback problems, making reliability the major concern. Overall, it’s a promising lurking-focused Reddit reader that shines when it works but suffers from stability issues across updates.

Pros

Ad-free experience with no login, offering a privacy-friendly Reddit browsing
Lurk-friendly, minimalist UI that keeps the focus on content and allows subreddit import
Viewed as a good replacement for other Reddit apps (e.g., Apollo) with clean design and no ads
Tablet-optimized and generally stable when it works, with a responsive feel

Cons

Frequent crashes and instability; force quits are common
Performance issues like hangs, slow load times, and non-responsive behavior after backgrounding
Search and filtering features often broken; results not tappable and filters not functioning
Media playback issues: videos pause unexpectedly, audio problems, and inconsistent sound
Connection/undefined errors that disrupt usage and frustrate users

Recent reviews

If you want to use Reddit and have a good time this app is for you! It takes a bit of adjustment but it is worth it. Unfortunately the newest update has broken the ability to save videos and use infinite scroll on your favorites feed but I am sure those issues will be fixed in time!
