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.
You should consider seasonal themes like halloween and shit down the road
Here me thinking what a theme called Shit Down the Road would look like.
Yes I will add some seasonal themes for sure.
Sigma male grindset: lurk on reddit and then be active on lemmy
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.
Can you please offer a download off of genocide tech corp platform?
Something like f-droid would be nice.
Or just builds available on GitHub.
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! 😮
95% of the features are same on iOS and Android.
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
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.
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.
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.
In next updates.
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
tap the three bars on top left > Refresh
Hey, very cool app. One thing that could be a massive improvement is the ability to tap the thumbnails in “compact mode” to open a bigger version of the image without loading the whole post. Boost (for reddit and for lemmy) has something like this (though not as snappy as I’d like), and relay for reddit had the perfect implementation of this. It was quick and easy. You tap the thumbnail to blow the image up to the max screen width, tap again to dismiss the image. Ideally there would be no lag between when you tap and when the image is loaded, same with dismissing. (I disabled double tap in relay so the image dismissal didn’t wait for a 2nd tap, making it quicker.)
Obviously this is a very nice and niche feature, so it might be outside the scope of the app. But if you find yourself itching to add some features, keep this in mind :) It would fit well with the “fast, fluid browsing” theme of the app.
I took a video to give a quick example but uploading it to lemmy.world isn’t working, I don’t want to share my youtube account, and I don’t want to make you download a random file from a file sharing site, so you can check out this behavior in those 2 apps if you need an example.
I get what you are saying, just pushed an update to Apple with the new compact mode. Android soon.
Very cool! Any thoughts on getting this on fdroid?
You could also post this on !android@lemdro.id and other places
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.
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.
Try tapping around the import button(like 1-2cm up/down where the import button is). Are you able to hit the cancel button?
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.

I will try to upload an APK somewhere for people to install. Stealth of course is a very good app.
I’ll second this request. I prefer to get software through FDroid when possible. I use Stealth in combo with Libreddit currently, but this has a nice UI.
You can use APKpure and it’s siblings to download for now.

There are subreddits I want to archive before things get any worse, any tools I can use or any way to adapt the backend for this task?
Does this violate any applicable policies such as Reddit’s or Google’s end user agreement?
