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.

    Were not going back!

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

      There are still some niche subreddits I can’t live without, that either don’t exist on Lemmy or are so small here they might as well not exist

      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.

      Intriguing, my first reaction is that this must be some accident. On iOS it’s marked as not collecting data, and the privacy policy is a single line.

      I’m sure the dev will swing by shortly, I’m just expressing my surprise at seeing that

      When you donate, a token id and status of purchase is sent to the server (in case anyone donates accidentally, rare I know, requests for a refund for their donation I can match order ID and issue refund) . That’s all, no credit card info, email or stuff like that. I wasn’t sure if this counts as financial info on play store so just to be safe I checked that box.

        That makes sense. I believe you have nothing to be concerned about, but I’m not a dev, so who am I to say 🤷‍♂️

        Great app!

    Hi, thanks again for making this app. Any chance of swipe to collapse? I find it takes less effort than double tapping

      Since both left and right swipes(to go back and forward) work already it will be messy to implement that.

        I meant like Alien Blue and Apollo where if you swipe on the comment and not on the edges, Apollo had a full half centimeter of edge space for front and back while AB was more like RDX (which imo is better really)

        No worries if you don’t want to though, just thought I’d ask

    It looks like gated communities can’t be accessed using your app. I tried opening /r/steroids and just got a blank page

    This would be amazing to be integrated with Voyager. People could migrate to Reddit via Fediverser and clone only their subreddits to the device.

    Hey I use this all the time on my browser, really appreciate it. I did install the “app” when prompted by chrome which I think just creates a chrome based app but one of the things I find difficult is getting to r/all and filtering to top hour. All doesn’t come up when sarched and filtering by hour isnt an option.

    Ill give the actual app a go and I really appreciate your work, it is a great experience.

      Yes that’s the web app. You can install from play store now, it has many new features.

        There does seem to be some minor issues. I’m seeing the same posts I saw earlier reappear as I scroll, and it doesn’t seem to be updating unless you sort by new.

        I got it thanks, for now the web app is preferable because I can get r/all and filter better. I would also recommend adding a download function for images and videos.

    Kinda wish I hadn’t checked this out. Don’t get me wrong OP, your app is fantastic! I’m just grossed out and disappointed by some of the comments in my “old stomping grounds” subreddits.

    Rdx itself rules tho, good job bruh

    I suggest arrows to navigate main comments (I think they also call them “parent comments” or something). As an example, Sync for Lemmy and Now for Reddit have them.

    As a suggestion/feedback. Could you please make it so you can block certain subreddits from appearing in your feed? I know you can subscribe but I am actually fine with most subreddits apart from a select view.

    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

    uses google service framework and puts it out only in playstore.

        Lol nah not quite what I meant. Just a huge fan of giving my entire phone seasonal overhauls. Apparantly it’s not a popular idea. Ah, well.

        ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
