lurkur Reviews

I do most of my social media browsing on tablets. Can’t stand this skinny little strip in the middle surrounded by huge wasted blank space.

Great premise for lurkur . Lots of promise. Worked well for first couple of days. Not updating content today.
Would be nice if sort by top had options for last hour, today/24 hours. Because it defaults to top for the week without other options.

This is a good start to a Reddit app, it’s clean, snappy, pages load fast, etc. just missing the option to log in and comment

Love lurkur so far. Would love to see the ability to view full sized thumbnails in the near future

I’ve been protesting since June and have deleted all my Reddit browsing apps since BaconReader was effectively shut down after the API changes. I tried switching to other social medias but people are so vile outside of the craft subreddits I frequented.

It is so nice to be able to go back and lurk at the subs I loved.

My favorite feature so far is how easy it is to minimalize comment threads. It’s how I wish the official app did it.

Thank you.

Great concept and really appreciate the simplified UI design. Since Apollo has gone, my Reddit experience has been pretty meh. This might fix that!

No stupid ads, it’s easy enough to stay engaged if you want to comment with all the link options to open in browser. It’s been my replacement for Apollo and way better than using the official app. Highly recommended if you don’t need it for moderating

Such a well executed idea. My only complaints are occasionally freeze ups that could be more of a hardware compatibility thing more than anything else. It mostly happens when scrolling or trying to expand a post to view comments

You’re doing great work!

Our power is out, but thanks to how lurkur is designed I can keep up with information, without draining my phone battery like crazy. Love it! Thank you!

Miles better than the official app or mobile web!

love the minimalist look and the no-login (apparently?) feature. Just a straight from a spy thriller novel, CIA look to this.

If I feel the need to contribute I prefer a computer, so this is precisely what I need for killing time on the go.

I have to add that there are some bugs, especially after viewing media. But again, fantastic. I browse quite a bit and haven’t run into the rate limit yet.

Very well designed, stable, responsive app. No cruft or questionable design elements like is seen on the official Reddit app. Hope that we can eventually get tablet optimization for this great app

I often catch myself getting involved in something on reddit when it really just doesn’t matter and is a waste of my energy. lurkur prevents that, you can’t log in to your account so you’re forced to just lurk and enjoy the content. Love the concept and the actual UI is off to a great start—snappy and clean. A little more customization in terms of gestures and layout etc. and lurkur will be a big hit.
