Hey Reddit lurkers! my ad-free, open source Reddit viewer RDX is on Android now

Since a lot of you asked me to build an Android version and post about it here when I launch, and I sincerely apologise that I forgot to post on lemmy sooner. The free app was launched on Play store almost a month ago and has garnered some excellent reviews. It has feature parity with the iPhone App and works on all Android 8.0+ devices.

You can download the app here.

Any feedback is wholeheartedly welcome, you can also post issues and contribute to the rdx web app on Github.

Nice app, considering i still lurk on some subreddits using mobile browser.

Btw, is there a way to refresh the subreddit page? Seems I can’t do usual pull down to refresh for now

You should consider seasonal themes like halloween and shit down the road

For the love of god please make a dark mode

Edit: nvm found out there is a settings menu. FYI it’s easy to overlook, at least for smooth brains like me

I love this app. I can lurk all my favorite subs without using their dogshit website, its convenient and allows me to lurk AND give them a constant middle finger without indirectly supporting pedophile spez and his army of abusive subreddit mods. Thank you!

overdevs OP ,

There are multiple light and dark themes already available in Settings > Appearance. Will add a full theme customiser as a vanity feature somewhere in the future.

Maybe the wrong place, but I’ve consistently had a bug with the iOS version where it will start repeating posts after awhile with no way to fix it. Refresh or restarting the app doesn’t fix it.

overdevs OP ,

It’s the correct place. If you only subscribe to a handful of subs and they don’t update frequently your home feed will be stale. Other than that I don’t see any reason. If you could explain further on what screens you face this problem I will be able to help.

LodeMike ,

Can you please offer a download off of genocide tech corp platform?

Looks nice! I sent a link to the gf who’s on iPhone. She’s always complaining about ads, and I never know what’s out there for her as I’m on android. I installed it too so I can give it a look.

After not looking at Reddit’s front page in a year, it’s a bit of a shock seeing an unfiltered feed! 😮

overdevs OP ,

95% of the features are same on iOS and Android.

How does this work? I thought the API charges killed all free reddit viewers.

balder1991 ,

Probably parses old.reddit.com

Blue_Morpho ,

Reddit claims that’s illegal too. They now block Microsoft from indexing them because Microsoft isn’t paying them.

Passerby6497 ,

That’s only because they honor robots.txt. App users aren’t robots, so it’s ok.

overdevs OP ,

It’s read-only.

Looks great, I’ve been using Stealth but it has trouble with albums and some other content. It also doesn’t let me search for posts in a specific subreddit.

This looks like it will do both of those things, as well as being actively maintained and improved. Thanks for making it.

I still need to really take the App a test drive, but my initial observation is the inability to display in landscape. That’s my own personal pet peeve with all Apps.

overdevs OP ,

Had to disable landscape mode because it didn’t feel as finished(you can still landscape video by swiping from left to right on a full screen video), I will make some adjustments for tablets and wider viewports in general and then push an update in near future.

I can vouch that this thing is pretty dope. While I don’t even so much as lurk Reddit at this point, it was definitely useful when there was a natural disaster in my area and I was checking the local sub for updates.

yourNewFavouriteUser ,

Seems nice, how do you handle reddit overpriced api, or do you not use it maybe?

pyre ,

it’s just for lurking, so not using it

piskertariot ,

As a habitual lurker, this is amazing. I can keep abreast if my local town subreddit without loading their horrendous mobile site. Bravo.

5oap10116 ,

Were not going back!

That being said, I appreciate sticking it to reddit in this way.

Sho ,

Same here. The app looks great and I applaud the hard work you put in, but that bridge is done burned and gone. I hope your app is a great success nonetheless.

SolOrion ,

Installed, I love all the themes! Thanks!

overdevs OP ,

The most fun feature to make. I love all the theme suggestions from users.

Imgonnatrythis ,

Is there a FUCK SPEZ theme?

I had some issues trying to import my subreddits via the .json file on my Fire HD10 tablet. The on screen pop up I am able to select the file just fine but I am not able to hit the import or cancel button. Import worked just fine on iOS version.

overdevs OP ,

Try tapping around the import button(like 1-2cm up/down where the import button is). Are you able to hit the cancel button?

Usually_Lurker ,
@Usually_Lurker@lemmy.world avatar

I did. I even used a stylus. It’s like the buttons don’t have an ability to activate. I am unable to hit either the import or cancel button.

overdevs OP ,

I will fix it in the next update. Are you on the latest version?
