I was asked to post here. cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/18458440

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.

I’m confused. I thought we were all here because reddit killed 3rd party software such as this? Did the api decision get reversed or something?

This tool works around the recent API limitations by not actually using the API at all—it scrapes the actual JSON pages that constitute Reddit in order to present you with posts, comments, and media in a super clean format—a streamlined version of Reddit that loads instantly, even if you can’t post (or interact with posts) while using it.

Just tried it and ran into a rate limit.

No doom scrolling, hidden feature

Could be good for things like the creative writing subreddits, where interaction is secondary

Pass. I didn’t leave reddit just because I wanted to get around it later using scraping and workarounds.

I’m here as long as it remains open. I enjoy the people here more too

I keep Stealth installed to use for search redirects, this could be useful for that.

It’s play store only though, so I’m passing too

Since your app is open source, I think it would make great sense to either submit it to the F-Droid repo, create your own repo that people can add to their F-Droid client, or host the project in one of the places that are already supported as a source in the Obtainium app.

I also use Stealth for my Reddit experience. It also doesn’t support comments or logging in. :) https://f-droid.org/packages/com.cosmos.unreddit/

Is there a way for me to “subscribe” to certain subs? I’d like to not have to type “Berserk” or “BHorrorMovies” everytime
