User Reviews

RedReader is praised for being ad-free, lightweight and fast, with a simple open-source, highly customizable design. Many reviewers prefer it to the official Reddit app and note better battery life. However, a core issue across multiple reviews is unreliable login: the login flow often relies on an internal browser, and the on-screen keyboard can fail to appear, making authentication difficult. Other recurring concerns include saved comments not displaying and missing history. A few builds also introduce ad-related annoyances. Overall, performance is solid when users can log in, but login reliability remains the main hurdle.

Pros

Ad-free experience (no ads)
Lightweight, fast and simple to use
Better than the official Reddit app
Open-source and highly customizable
Better battery life compared to the official app

Cons

Persistent login problems: internal browser usage and keyboard not appearing, making authentication unreliable
Saved comments not displaying in Saved view
Missing history feature or history access issues
Occasional ad-related annoyances on some builds (advert prompts/QR code ads)

Recent reviews

This app saves Reddit from the pit into which its own app is dragging it. (The only downside is that without RedReader I'd quit reddit altogether, which might be better for me lol)

Miles better than the official app. So very customizable! And have been using this ever since the IPO without issue. However had become unusable since yesterday. Tried relogging into my account, but after I press accept on Reddit, I'm meet with a black screen with {} in the corner and cannot sign into my account. Cannot even use this without logging in as i get the error "unknown error, could not log in" will change my review once this is resolved. Resolved by clearing the data.
