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.

    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.

    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.

    I’ve been using the IOS app since it was launched and just wanted to say you’re awesome! The app has been very helpful when I need to check my city’s sub and r/nba (both exist in lemmy but aren’t as active yet).

      Thank you so much for your kind words! A new update to the search page and some more customisation options in settings are coming in the next minor update for iOS.

    Sigma male grindset: lurk on reddit and then be active on lemmy

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

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

    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.

    Does this violate any applicable policies such as Reddit’s or Google’s end user agreement?

    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!

      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.

        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)_/¯

    Very cool! Any thoughts on getting this on fdroid?

    You could also post this on [email protected] and other places

    Some thoughts so far:

    • it might help to be able to import multireddits
    • the subscribe button feels a bit hidden

    Otherwise really cool :)

      Yeah I have to make the subscribe button more prominent. Multireddits are planned for a future updates however you can import your subscriptions currently in the Settings tab.

    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
