Review summary

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)

2026-08-08	Ag*****	Hi, App is great however I have a small annoyance with it. I use gesture controls to go back in my samsung s23 which involves swiping from left side of the screen. Unfortunately this interferes with opening the sidebar which lets us download or share a image etc. Basically I cant access that menu due to the gesture controls. If its possible to decouple the sidebar opening from the gesture control that would be nice. Thank you for making the app.
