Voting and Karma:
Instead of likes and hearts, Reddit’s social network runs on upvotes or downvotes. Voting on posts and comments increase or decrease the creator’s karma, and helps popular and relevant posts rise to the top, while filtering out low-quality or irrelevant posts.
While karma doesn't directly impact your ability to use Reddit, more karma can increase posts’ visibility and help you get noticed. Some communities require karma to post or comment, which helps maintain content quality and community standards.

Seriously how could they make it this bad? Videos always play in full screen. There's no setting to turn that off. The only way to pause is a tiny button in the lower left corner when it's in full screen, but if you tap the comments icon, it moves to the lower right. Even when tapping on a non video post the screen refreshes as if it's trying to go full screen. You can't swipe through postings in the order that you have them displayed, it just shows the next similar one however they define it.

Clicking the post used to make sense. Now you either open the picture in a separate window, with a "go to thread" button that does not work, and swiping back to home doesn't work anymore. If you do succeed in seeing the text it opens with the ad right above the thread's top reply. Having to scroll up to see the content I wanted to see is annoying. I'm hoping this update is a fix to the problems that Reddit created for itself. This is getting absolutely ridiculous!

It's a good app to connect with communities. I've used it for years with hardly any complaints. Lately they keep making changes to the user interface where it is much less usable and more of an eyesore than ever before. It's beginning to look very unprofessional and elementary. No need to fix what wasn't broken! With the changes in user interface comes SO many bugs and glitches. The app is sometimes unscrollable with the constant errors. The app was fine before..

Reddit tanked third party apps because they're unable to make a good one for themselves. Edit: it's only gotten worse. I can't figure out how to view a custom feed after making it, there's no way to automatically filter out posts based on flair or based on keywords in the title, and the experience with the video player has only gotten worse over time. And it's still asking me to verify my email even though I have. Twice.

This app is littered with ads all over the place, and now when scrolling through my feed it places in "you might be interested in this" suggestions that have nothing to do with what I'm subscribed to. Unfortunately, they force you to use it. It's low of features. Downloading images is a pain because they forced a pop up menu, that opens on the bottom. Not user friendly.

Edit 3/13/24. Stop messing with the UI and fix your bugs ffs. Fix your trash app. Edit: Stop changing the UI and start fixing the bugs. If you click on a post there's a 25% chance it will open, a 25% chance it opens a different post, a 25% chance I have to click it two or three more times, and a 25% chance it just straight up will not open. Oh, but you have the ads down to a T.

Reddit has changed the UI (AGAIN) and has made our memorized swipe gestures completely useless. It wasn't bad enough that they moved the context menus from the top to the bottom when looking at media, now no posts are separate when swiping in the expanded view - they're all just connected as if it was one large post. To top it off, now if the next 10 posts haven't pre-loaded if you've got a poor connection, you can't even open a context menu, you're just not allowed to. Now it's useless.

3rd and final review. App is back to being almost completely unusable. If I click on a post, it'll start freezing up and saying "Reddit has stopped working" with an option to wait or just close the app. If I click wait, it let's me scroll a little but then freezes right back up and the same notification pops up again so the cycle begins again and again. It's extremely disappointing. I used to really enjoy using this app and now I couldn't if I tried. Quit making it so much worse!

The app is quite slow and doesn't cache data properly, leading to a multi GB install size. Manually going into app settings and deleting the app data is necessary after a few months to keep the app running at its normal slow speed. With the new update, the image options moved to the bottom of the screen, including the download button. This wouldn't be a huge deal if the pop-ups didn't appear in the same spot. Those can't be dismissed quickly and waste even more time in this sluggish app.

This app is bad on the phone. You scroll to a video and it plays, but as soon as you enlarge it to play full screen it stops playing. You can't get it to play unless you fiddle with the time bar. And I sometimes upload photos through my phone and now all of a sudden it's a problem?? This is where I share content with others. Please Reddit, fix your bugs for Androids.

Missing basic functionality like ability to change font size, this app is a visual mess with a ton of ads. I'm constantly misclicking because of the clutter. I hope you like ads! Did I mention the ads? Also the search feature is split up all over the place and doesn't return results that even Google can find. Also, it constantly throws pop-ups asking me to turn on notifications. Here's a hint: I'll never turn on notifications, STOP! Worst reddit app I've ever used.

Horizontal swiping is near useless because it's mapped to both image collections and the tab layout. And on the topic of gestures, they added even more! Now, when viewing a photo or photo set, swiping takes you to an entirely new post if you've reached the end of it. I absolutely hate this feature, but it can't even be turned off. And there's nowhere in the app to provide feedback, so here I am, voicing my complaints in a review that no one will read.

First off, i don't want to see the same ad in the second post 95% of the time. Bots + Reposts are out of hand. I keep seeing the exact same thing multiple times (not even a repost) way to many ads but you can instantly skip by scrolling. Its just trash after seeing the same ad withen 5 seconds of booting up every time. Im sick of this and the app officially sucks and isn't worth downloading at all. Not worth it even if premium was 25¢/month. I used it a lot but not after this. They wont comment.

This all is sooo bad. It's lacking crucial accessibility features. There are so many random glitches. None of the useful sorting options the other apps had. I might just give up using reddit at all if this is my only option now. no option to look at photos in a resolution high enough to actually read text. I have no idea why the default is 360p? (I actually do have an idea; its corporate greed and a refusal to pay for the bandwidth to provide a good service). You can barely sort posts in a sub.

Suboptimal compared to old clients. Currently the app randomly resets to the top, and swipes to popular or another page when swiping at photos. Just a generally bad UI full of ads. Update: Wrote this like a year ago and nothing has changed. Update: still no change. I can scroll for maybe 5 minutes before it resets to the top of the page

Interface is terrible, random videos constantly playing, doesn't load content if it doesn't feel like it, errors happen all the time where closing the app is the only way to clear them, ads like nobody's business, buttons too small and in illogical locations. It goes on. I've used reddit for over a decade and administrators have made some pretty poor decisions in the face of the public, but disabling third party apps was by far the worst!

Not even close to 3rd party alternatives. Slow loading, broken videos, and so so many ads. I see they want to force us to use this mess of an app. Edit: 28FEB24 this app is even worse now. Giphy integration doesn't load at all even after clearing cache and reinstalling the app. Also selecting a comment to minimize will randomly load into a gif file that wasn't even near the comment. Just terrible all the way around. Edit2: 14MAY24 still the exact same issues as stated above.

Reddit used to be a lot more fun to use before the company made the API private and locked us all into their awful app. Navigation sucks, long loading times, bad image quality across the board, loss of tons of options for customization. Constantly swiping to another section of Reddit when I'm just trying to swipe through multiple images in a post. All this and it doesn't seem like they have any interest in making it any better. So stop asking me to rate the app. There it is.

It's reddit! This is a pretty great app, but not perfect. They finally disabled the live broadcast things that used to show in your stream, but there's a new annoyance. If you don't open the app for a bit it automatically refreshes itself on open. So if you were in the middle of a comment and forgot to hit send it now gets wiped out when you reopen the app.

Since the massive price hike of the API, the quality of browsing reddit truly dropped. There are a lot of things I wish I could do, but can't. For example, every post should have a save icon along the same bar as the up and down votes, I shouldn't swipe up in a vid in a subreddit, only to be shown a vid from some other random sub. Although the app has made improvements, it has a long way to go to be considered even close to the app I used to use. Maybe one day.
