Nano for Reddit Reviews

I’ve never left a review before...after trying out soooo many watch apps I often feel disappointed and rarely do I want to pay for an app without trying it first. I’m in love with Nano for my news feeds. I love that it provides a full download of the article. It’s extremely useful and easy to use UI. The free version is amazing and provide more than enough articles however after seeing the functionality I am definitely going to pay for it.

2 small points. I wasn’t sure if paying for the pro version was a 1 time fee or monthly or annual. Appreciate if that is clarified somewhere. Also in the free version or the pro version I don’t have the option to select which subscriptions are accessible. It seems like only when I delete / unsubscribe via Nano to a community does it place a new community in my thread vs seeing all my subscriptions and selecting the 5 free ones I want available. I wonder when I pay for the pro version if it just adds all my communities or if I can select only the ones I want to access via this app.

I wasn’t a Reddit user until now. Thank you for the developing such a useful app. I love that it plays video, it’s ease of use, and overall that it’s functional in every aspect. I wish other apps followed the same approach as you did. Thank you!!

Before learning about Nano, I never even considered being able to use reddit on my wrist. However, with the amazing functionality and usability of this app just like a reddit client I would use on another device, I am blown away by the new opportunity that I now have on my Apple Watch. Nicely done!

One bit of feedback that I would really like to provide is the possibility of adding a data saver mode. Being someone with very limited data, it would be nice to only have images and other media download when I intend to. Right now, you have the option to disable them loading when scrolling through the full list of a subreddit (which is great). However, I’d really like to see that extend in that, when you click a reddit post, you could be able to only download media if you click a specific “Download” button rather than have it auto-download.

I feel like I don’t use my Watch that much other than for checking the time and texts. Luckily I was wondering if Reddit was available on Apple Watch, and I found the perfect app for it. The free version does have limited features, but Apollo isn’t meant to be enjoyed that way. People seem to forget that developers need some way to support themselves, so the in app purchase to pro is an inoffensive “pay your own price model” to get all of the features. Overall a solid Apple Watch app and solid Developer. I recommend checking out Chirp for your Twitter Apple Watch needs.

This gives you everything reddit has to offer and helps get the most of watchOS.

Being able to read articles, view pictures and some clips on the go. And having a community driven aggregated news and entertainment source on your wrist is truly amazing.

Nano is smooth, compact and the design uses the limited screen space very well. ForceTouch is utilised well giving you your app settings and reddit navigation.

Here is where I was unsure to rate at a 4 or a 5 but ultimately landed on a 5 because what it does do, it does it very well. Nano lets you view images from pretty much any host without issue. It also utilises reader mode to read articles as well. And you can view gifs(gifVs?) from imgur. What it doesn’t do is offer an inapp player for reddit hosted videos or gfycat.

All in all this is a fantastic app, worth the few bucks to support a good product and indie developer and one of biggest must own apps for any watchOS users.

A truly awesome app for the Apple Watch, I’ve had over 2 years and it’s a must have for certainty!! You add your favorite subreddits etc, then bam they notify you on watch if you want the notifications that part is your choice. But the complete functionality is amazing with how the interface is exactly like the phone app and the amount of content to scroll through is immense much larger than I’ve seen on any similar app for the watch. Shows the photos, comments etc everything that you could possibly want, is there on tap!

Successes
- finally, a reddit client for my watch! Is it for replacing a phone? No, but it can if you just need minor browsing, checking a particular sub regularly, or responding to messages. Exactly what i needed
- interface is really good for watch OS. Loads pretty smoothly, with occasional lag on thumbnail-heavy subs if my battery is low. Otherwise, few issues.
- a discord server for interacting with the dev(s) and providing feedback. Really cool about realtime troubleshooting. Several bugs I have mentioned to the dev have already been resolved (and hence removed from this review)
- 3 options to pay what you want to support the dev. That fact alone made me want to give a higher tier payment for further support.

Needs Improvement
- a minor visual bug when switching between apps (already being addressed)
- the option to select which sub pops up when I first open Nano does not currently work

Keep up the great work!

Nano layout itself is great, easy to navigate and whatnot. Seems very well put together. Problem is, it will just up and crash on random posts I open up, and if I go back in and try to open those posts, crash again. Other posts will work fine.

Also, you can’t read long posts, it says “save to read full article on your iPhone” or something like that. Kinda defeats the purpose of having it on my watch.

I would 100% pay for premium if Nano didn’t crash everytime I sneezed. That’s the only thing that held me back

I didn't think that Reddit would be able to port to the watch well at all. I assumed that all Reddit apps for the watch were going to be crappy and lack functionality.

Nano is completely different though. It has 95% of the functionality the phone app has, runs smoothly, and has a great interface with well thought through haptic feedback and sounds.

I would like to see one specific feature in future updates: Account switching. I have multiple Reddit accounts that I use daily and I'd love to be able to quickly switch between them on the watch via a 3d touch in the "my profile" or "settings" pages.
I would also like to see chats, but these aren't quite as important to me.

this app is the best Reddit viewer for Apple Watch. The design is intuitive, and Nano itself is easy to use. All the functionality of Reddit on your wrist! It's easy to mistake it for an official Reddit app.

Yes, some features cost money, but it's a one time payment, and you are directly supporting Nano 's creator.

Oh, did I mention that there are NO ADS WHATSOEVER even with the free version? Because there are NO ADS WHATSOEVER even with the free version.

Awesome app. I was only going to get the free version but decided to go with the $1.99 pro version (there are others depending on what you feel like paying, which is perfect). I’m so glad I did.

The developer who made this app is truly deserving of each and every subscriber’s $1.99. It is quite literally the least you can do for the individual who brought reddit to your wrist.

I really enjoy it, by far the best way to use reddit on a watch, however I’ve noticed that I have to go to Nano on my phone to update my subscriptions, which Is really just nitpicking. Other than that I mean it’s great! I see it hasn’t gotten an update in 9 months, I hope more updates come in the near future adding more polish to an already great app.

Finally able to leave a good review on this, now being on an official release firmware. This is the best reddit client for Apple Watch. It always will be, too. How do I know? The developer, Will, puts his heart and soul into this project. Following this project since its first betas has been an astounding journey to watch, for both Will and Nano . This project will continue to grow for the better.

I love it because if I don’t have my phone near me I can just hope reddit and look thru memes and other stuff my problem is that it looks as your passwords and that you can use my credits and coins and awards but I am going to redownload it because I got another watch that isn’t broken so if you aren’t looking thru my stuff I’m fine with this

Everything is as great as I expected it to be when I got Nano, except sometimes it gets frozen on a single post and won’t be able to scroll or change subreddits... even after closing out Nano /restarting the watch. I’ve found a simple but somewhat time consuming fix which involves deleting and redownloading Nano

For anyone wondering, the free version lets you view any sub. It’s just that it provides shortcuts to only your first 5 alphabetical subs. To view all subs shortcuts, pay for PRO. I did, and Nano works completely fine.

Had a question about Nano and emailed the dev. He responded very quickly and helpfully. Am glad to be supporting this dev with PRO. Great Reddit client for the Apple Watch S3.

Seems like a great app, but it is stuck on setup on the watch. They list detailed instructions on how to make it work. Force closing does not work with Nano like it does for others. Reinstalling does not work. Making sure you are only using Bluetooth does not help. It has options for support... Discord does not connect you to the server, Reddit just drops you to a blank message screen with the user not filled out, and email message does not launch the email app. Maybe the developers might fix it? ... seems like it worked once....

The reason I did not give Nano a 5 star was because of the fact that sometimes when scrolling or loading new things Nano will crash which makes things very frustrating. Other than that Nano is amazing and I would recommend!

The best Reddit experience you can get on a watch. Takes a little getting used to but functions great and I catch myself using it more and more. The creator of Nano also ran a fundraiser for the Australian wildfires which prompted me to buy the pro versions of all his apps. Definitely check this out and all his other work.

Nano is show amazing, well made and integrated on the watch. It’s really nice to browse to Reddit without needing to pull out my phone. The little jingle is a real nice touch.
I purchased to pro version. And haven’t regret it.

Keep making more... I would love to see Gmail, tumblr, Snapchat, Instagram, and maybe IFunny. (This all would be a stretch though)

I want to purchase the pro version but I don’t know if Nano has push notifications (on iPhone and Apple Watch) and if I can reply to comments directly from Watch when that notification appears on Watch or iPhone (like IMessages or Viber, Telegram ) What does this handoff feature can do ? (found in settings app)
