User Reviews for BaconReader for Reddit

PLEASE FIX THE VIDEO PLAYER + unable to block accounts now

EDIT- I can’t block anyone anymore! Reddit is being overrun by bots so I’ve been blocking the ones I see. There doesn’t seems to be a limit to how many accounts you can block but it keeps telling me I can’t block anyone. REALLY FRUSTRATING! Restarting the app and logging out doesn’t help. I refuse to delete and redownload the app because I know it will remove my sub/feed filters and I don’t want to lose those. The one big issue I have with this app is that videos will only play correctly until you go full screen. It sometimes pauses sometimes doesn’t, but the really annoying thing is that th video will stop at about a third in and then it skips back and forth rapidly. It doesn’t matter if you go out of the video and back, or restarting the app, it happens ALL THE TIME. As far as ads go, I don’t think I’ve had it bad like everyone else. I only get banner ads at the bottom. It would be nice if the ads were varied. Really sick of seeing the one Snapchat rip-off constantly. It should be mandatory for a confirmation to pop up when tapping on an ad. I’ve never clicked an ad deliberately, never will, and it’s infuriating that accidentally opening one does just that. Just give me a confirmation so it doesn’t open the stupid ad in my browser.

Go to for a long time, but a new complaint

I don’t know what’s changed with the app. It’s for years been my Reddit portal and I would still love to use it for years more.However, in the past month, I’ve run into a pretty significant problem. I am sometimes maybe too verbose, but that’s my prerogative... when I go to proofread my comments or posts I’d like to make, the app does a weird somersault and ENTIRELY deletes the essay I had been trying to write. Just like a casual flick in a direction I cannot explain, and the last 20-25 minutes of me curating my post or comment gets completely erased. Whatever point I had hoped to make is lost entirely. There’s no redo, there’s no drafts. Just GONE. I’ve wasted at least 3 hours over the last couple weeks trying to comment or post and lost everything I had been writing. It’s annoying and disheartening. I wasn’t going to get that much feedback anyway. It was like a therapeutic journaling session, and all the energy and effort I put in was wasted and can’t be revisited. Please reinstate a verification of deleting drafts. Why am I even trying to say anything if the app will just disrespect me like this?

Excellent!

Seriously by far my most over the used app over the last 6 years and I have zero complaints. I paid for the premium version so no ads and it makes the experience a ton better. Also this has a one time payment unlike the Reddit official app which is a recurring monthly payment. This app is also much better looking and functions better than the official app. Use Google to search specific Reddit posts because the only function that doesn’t work well on this app is the search bar but that’s what Google is for anyway. Overall just an excellently simple and enjoyable way to browse Reddit.

What’s with the new full-screen ads?

I’ve been using BaconReader for 3+ years as my main Reddit app. I use this app more than just about any other app on my phone. As long as I’ve been using the app, there've been ad banners at the bottom of the screen. The only ads have been these banner ads. I can ignore those ads, so I’m fine with them. However, in the past day — that is, since the most recent update — I’ve had 4 or 5 full-screen pop-up ads appear out of nowhere, and I’ve had to wait several seconds to close them. This completely takes me out of my Reddit browsing experience. Don’t get me wrong, I love this app, but I’d give it 5 stars if the developers removed the full-screen ads.

Used to be my go app for reddit but things are changing.

I used to love this app over the official reddit app in a lot of ways I prefer it but idk maybe the last few updates certainly the last two months or so I've been finding myself running into issues with the app that I didn't before. Main issue is when I click on the audi button for a .reddit video and go into the subreddit the audio keeps playing and it Continues to play audio even if I play a new video. It takes me leaving the orignal audio post and turning it off leaving the post then go back into It without clicking the audio button. Another annoying issue is when I go to my subreddits list a custom list never survives so I can't do that and when I do hit sort alphabetically it'll do half the list correct then for whatever reason it'll start over from A again so weird. I still love the app the ads for me aren't annoying, it still works for the most part and the layout is just cleaner.

Was my favorite reddit app, until it started to significantly drain my battery

I noticed a few days ago that my phone battery would go from 100 to 20% by noon with minimal use. I checked my battery usage in the settings and noticed that for this app, with 5 min on screen, there was 12 HOURS of background activity. What is it doing? Mining bitcoin or something? Yes my background app refresh is off, but I usually leave the app open and just switch apps, which has worked for me for the most part and no other apps have such significant background activity usage. I don’t want to explicitly close all my apps after I’m done using them just because of this issue. But if you are already used to doing that, this app will probably work fine for you. So I’ve deleted the app and have decided I will look for another app to browse Reddit with. Now my battery is at 80% at noon.

almost perfect but one flaw makes it awful

I've been using this app forever - but I'm about to give up on it for something that ruins the experience numerous times . if you swipe left or right the screen changes to somewhere else and you lose wherever you were and whatever you were writing if you were writing. being left handed and trying to scroll ask reddit. this becomes a frustrating nightmare. all I want is the option to completely disable this swipe action, I don't want it at all anyway. after years of this I'm about ready to switch apps even though literally everything else about this app is as simple as I could ever hope for.

The BEST reddit App

I don’t usually write reviews unless the app is god awful - in which case I warn people, but this app is absolutely incredible. Not only is it free, the UI and buttons are laid out incredibly well, you can have multiple accounts to switch between, messages and comments are easy to respond to, and best of all the developer is very responsive. I submitted a bug about some issues I had and they replied back with a temporary work around as well fixing the EXACT bug in the next update. If you want a free reddit app, this is the one.

Five star Reddit client with one caveat.

As of the time of me writing this review, the app doesn't allow me to post comments, stating only that an error has occurred and nothing much beyond that. This is, in my opinion, the best Reddit client available right now and has so much amazing functionality. However, not being able to post comments (as I've been able to do before recent updates) has been killing me. I've tried across multiple subreddits in case some subs prohibit comments based on user frequency or karma etc and it just doesn't work. It's still not enough for me to rate below five stars, despite this glaring issue. It could also be due to NAT issues which don't fault the app at all. Have not tested that yet. Tldr; freaking fantastic Reddit client. Hoping my comment issue is an isolated one.

Completely broken on iPad

I’ve been using this app for years on my galaxy phone with no issues. I’ve been using it for maybe a year on iPad and it’s been a reasonable app with a few shortcomings. There have alway been problems dealing with comment permalinks. Specifically, the app has no way to let you copy them. This can very annoying but not the end of the world. But the permalink problem is now much worse. Clicking a comment reply in the inbox should take you to the post and parent comment so you can read it in context. Instead I get taken to the post but just get a “no comments” message and have to “display full post” to try to hunt down the comment. I’m not sure if this is just me or not but this is driving me to consider alternatives on iPad.
