Reno for Reddit Reviews

I really want to love Reno but you guys and every other third-party Reddit app developers ALWAYS miss the option to swipe through posts in your feed without having to back out of the post and scroll down. I don't need to swipe on comments to reply or flag or whatever. A button is fine. It's very nice being able to see the posts and comments all at once. I end up missing a lot of cool posts and discussions because I constantly have to click back and forth between posts. I'm sure this is done to appease oldReddit users who want to get away from the wall of text, but still want to feel like they're maintaining some sort of "control" of their viewing. Why not an option? Literally just add that one feature and it's an immediate 5 stars. I'd change my review.

I think aesthetically Reno look and functions fantastically. The only things I’ve noticed so far is that I wish there was an icon to designate when a post is pinned and I also wish you could easily switch between posts and comments when viewing a profile, I know how it works now but maybe a tab system would be better to easily switch? Also maybe have the option to long press a comment to collapse? The current system works fine and looks really nice but it would be more convenient when I’m using my phone with only my left hand if I could long press. Thanks for Reno !

I just migrated over to iOS and was really disappointed in the reddit app offerings. I tried the most popular ones but was really frustrated that they all seem to load some imgur gifs and pictures on the Imgur website rather than in a viewer on Reno . BUT this app DOESN’T! It loads everything naturally as you scroll and it’s absolutely wonderful!

The design is also very pleasingly minimalist but also very functional. I also love that the night mode changes with the phone.

Please add an upgrade option so I can support you developers! (And also remove the ads)

Seriously, I’ve used Narwhal, Apollo, Slide, and many other reddit client but this one is great. The way the menus are laid out on the bottom are perfect. Don’t change a thing! No annoying sub-menus and everything is easy to get to. It’s very reminiscent of the official reddit app, but way better. I Don’t care much for compact views. My only gripe is that there are ads. I’d happily pay for an ad-free version of Reno! Please make it happen! Updated to 5 stars.

This has all the features that I couldn’t get with apollo or the horrible downgrade that is the current reddit app. My only grievance is that it’s not very customizable like other reddit alternative apps.

Unlike Apollo, you cannot change the color of Reno so you’re left with this very solid grey color when I would prefer a much darker color similar to the night mode for Reddit and other reddit alternatives.

Another thing is the controls are slightly wonky, you can’t click a comment to collapse it but instead have to pull to the side (which will then stop, and then you pull again to fully complete the action).

The font is also less than desirable. Makes Reno feel very cheap, I wish there was an option to adjust it.

All in all, a 4/5 for me. All the things I mentioned don’t fully hold back the functionality of Reno , the video player is gorgeous.

For serious Reddit browsing, I wouldn't use this, but for a never ending gallery of images, it's pretty great.

A couple of things I would change:

-when you click into an image to go fullscreen, it's not obvious how to go back to the main page. So far I've been clicking on the subreddit identifier which will take you to the subreddit the image you just fullscreened is found in and then you can go back to the overview. Unless I'm missing it, this is awkward.

-A slideshow option would be fantastic, as would an option to show just the images without all the other chrome. Maybe overlay the up and down vote buttons and the upvote count.

-Finally, make the NSFW toggle persist between launches, please.

I should also point out: I've used this on an iPad and now I'm using it on a Mac and, aside from the above, it works brilliantly. If I could get the above, It's a five star app.

I really like how it just feels like I’m scrolling through my Instagram its hard to tell the two apart with how seamless it is. Could you please make an Instagram app now that doesn’t have annoying ads and posts it thinks you like but have nothing to do with you? That would really rock

One star removed for the constant nag screens begging for reviews. Asking once is enough, every time I open is too much.

Some pretty glaring bugs, comments don’t load properly. The top comment changes when you scroll down. Swipe gestures are not sensitive enough, need to drag across more than half the screen to trigger the action. Should be easier to activate for those of us with larger screens.

Ads are intrusive and no way to disable them at the moment. So just deal with it I guess? Plenty of other reddit apps out there that allow you to disable them for a one time fee. This is the most obnoxious issue I have right now.

I do like the interface, I appreciate that Reno focuses on your subscribed subreddits rather than dumping you into the cesspool that is Reddit’s default front page. Just wish it were more polished. Focus on the core function of Reno and keep that polished and the rest will come with time.

Hooray, a Reddit client that doesn’t pull the crap that the official app does (like putting /r/all posts in your home feed? Like what?)! This one is my favorite. There are a few noticeable bugs. For example, sometimes a comment will be displayed below at the bottom of a short post before I start scrolling down, but when I do scroll, that comment disappears and I can never find it. Ellipses, for whatever reason, display like ••• instead of …

The only reason Reno isn’t one star is because it’s visually appealing. However, I’ve had numerous posts and comments of mine that get uploaded with only a fraction of what was typed out. Why? How? Like seriously, how is that even possible? It happens frequently enough that in order to functionally use Reno without worry of losing what you just typed out in your post or comment, you must ALWAYS copy your post or comment prior to hitting send/done, and then check to make sure the entire thing uploaded. How silly is that?

The ONLY thing Reno is missing is the ability to change the theme from within Reno . Some of us are stuck on iOS 12 (I have an iPhone 6, my friend has an iPhone 5S) and can’t upgrade to iOS 13 to enjoy dark mode. I’d be happy to have this feature and perhaps some other customisation features as well, as long as Reno size stays the same or close to what it is now 🤭.

I was never a fan of the Reddit app because it was glitchy and messy but Reno has a very clean layout that one could get used to pretty quick. The only thing is it’s missing a few easy functionalities of the Reddit app or the Apollo app like being able to read subreddit rules or sidebars very easily. I wasn’t sure where to find that.

Got tired of browsing reddit in safari and looked into an app. I had tried the official and didn’t like it. Roommate suggested Apollo but Reno was a third of the size!
Small on disc, very quick, and it looks great.

All I need is a paid version so I can ditch the ads!

Design is what you feel and how it works and this feels just right even at first launch. Many reddit clients don't get enough treatments on the whitespace and typography front but this one is different. It feels at home.

I was looking for a lightweight reddit browser app. This was working well for a few weeks. However for the past few days, Reno would randomly freeze and quit itself. This makes the browsing experience very annoying.

I’ve used reddit mobile web for the past year bc all of the other apps were terrible and bloated. Reno simplified the experience so much, it’s so enjoyable to use! Thanks for making this :)

Got Reno after I was forced to delete the official Reddit app and was really happy with it. It looks great and it’s easy to use. My only complaints are that it constantly asks you to rate it and from what I’ve figured out, you can’t condense threads. Other than that I love it

I love how much detail I can see from each post on a subreddit and the pictures from different articles all on the same page. Amazing.

Title says it. I just wish Reno had the little arrow on the side that lets you jump to the next comment without having to scroll through all of the replies. It would be perfect if it had that IMO.

The interface is really clean and one of the more beautiful Reddit apps I’ve come across for the iPhone. However, there are many features that any Reddit app should include that are just not there. I suggest adding things like user and post flairs, access to sidebars, mod mail, etc.

Reno is awesome for me with the exception of it needs an option change the view to compact instead of the full post.

The only complaint I have is that it’ll randomly refresh and I end up back at the top.

Very clean, fluid and intuitive. Still pretty raw, and has nowhere near the customization that clients like Apollo and Slide offer, but that’s a good thing in this case since it’s very good out of the box.

The premium version is necessary for daily driver use, as the ads are just too distracting.

I always used Apollo but it started lagging lately so I downloaded this app and I love it! I’m definitely not going back. I’ll pay for pro once it’s available. Thanks again!

i love that i don’t have to swipe every which way just to up/downvote, reply, save a post, etc! everything is just available for me to tap on. the excess swiping was my main gripe with other reddit clients. the ui for Reno is like an upgraded version of the current reddit client i use.

keep up the good work, can’t wait for an add free version!

Looks nice but tons of little things make it hard to use...no text differentiation of quotes, ampersands are all “&”, need to click links 3 or more times for them to work. App needs some work but is still nicer than Reddit’s app.

UI is beautiful! Crashes here and there and sound doesn’t play on video but other than that, 5/5
