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)

2026-06-17	N.*****	This app would be perfectly wonderful for the Puritanical or under 18 year old user. But the lack of support for sexual content leaves me disappointed and confused? As an adult, I see little reason to disallow such content. So I'm going to uninstall the app and look for something more liberal minded.

2026-06-11	Ro*****	missing two crucial ux features: view image/video while reading the comments(right now you have to navigate back to open it, then back to open the comments again). it also desperately needs a setting that automatically collapses comments by default. only the top level comments should be visible by default. I'd much rather open the few comment chains I'd want to read rather than having to collapse all of them just to scroll past garbage
