Welcome to Reddit, the heart of the internet.
Reddit is a social network with something for everyone: trending topics, diverse discussions, engaging communities and comment threads.
Redditors have authentic and interesting conversations around all sorts of curated content. You’ll find gaming communities, bloggers, meme-makers, fandoms, travel enthusiasts, support groups, AI forums, news junkies, artists, and creators of all types.
Reddit has over 100,000 online communities (forums where members post and comment) dedicated to specific topics. Some of the most popular communities are:
• r/AskReddit, where users can ask and answer questions
• r/funny, which is full of humorous content
• r/science, for scientific discussions and news
• r/gifs, with funny animated gifs for your viewing pleasure
On Reddit you’ll find:
• Thousands of community groups
Breaking news, social media trends, sports highlights, TV fan theories, open AI discussions and personalized content, there's a community for everyone.
• Loads of laughs
Find memes, oddly satisfying videos, funny videos, and more to help you lose track of time.
• AMAs, or "Ask Me Anything"
Celebrities, politicians, and experts answer questions from users.
• The best discussions on any topic
Reddit’s discussion threads are where community members jump in with humor and insights for just about anything; pop culture, sports, entertainment, or financial advice.
• Answers to questions
Ask communities anything you want. Ask questions on relationships, mental health, parenting, career help, fitness plans, and more.
• Your people, your conversations
Jump into community groups and threads, connect over any topic, and chat with redditors who share your interests.
Voting and Karma:
Instead of likes and hearts, Reddit’s social network runs on upvotes or downvotes. Voting on posts and comments increase or decrease the creator’s karma, and helps popular and relevant posts rise to the top, while filtering out low-quality or irrelevant posts.
While karma doesn't directly impact your ability to use Reddit, more karma can increase posts’ visibility and help you get noticed. Some communities require karma to post or comment, which helps prevent spam or low-quality content.
Reddit Premium:
Purchase Reddit Premium to enjoy an ads-free experience and access to premium avatar gear, r/lounge, custom app icons, and more.
Payment will be charged on a recurring monthly or annual basis to your Apple account. Your monthly or annual Premium subscription will automatically renew unless you cancel at least 24 hours before your subscription ends. Cancel anytime in your device’s Account Settings. No partial refunds.

Reddit Negative Reviews
Subreddit searching seems to be brokenIf you're searching for a subreddit that you know exists, for whatever reason the search function won't find it but will show other results which have similar names..SsdffhkoVersion: 3.7.0
CensorshipThis app use to be the best part of my day , it’s now a absolutely joke , the admins are power hungry ban machines..Pro pkerVersion: 2020.17.0
UghSuper trash. Way too political and toxic. Stay out of this echo chamber..OssuariumVersion: 2020.24.0
Oh reddit, you messed upIf you don’t know about it already, google the API changes then delete the app. Greedy company removed all of the (better) third party sites and has made moderation worse by an order of magnitude..AlexTerrible1984Version: 2023.24.0
Reddit hates and censors womenReddit will allow rape subreddits but not subreddits for critical thinking related to women’s rights. Sadly, reddit is anti-free speech and pro-misogyny. Reddit bizarrely lumps critical leftist feminist thought in with extreme racism and fascism. Reddit moderators who delete critical thinking subreddits that discuss women’s rights compassionately and polite are disturbingly biased and admit to it. I am extremely disappointed with reddit. One day, this will all be realized as the shameful, pathetic nonsense it truly is. Until then, reddit is an utter disgrace..Reality is realityVersion: 2020.24.0
Terrible AppThis is by far the worst app for Reddit and with the new API changes going forward this will be the only app available, and unfortunately I’ll have to stop using Reddit because this app is unusable..XohmgVersion: 2023.22.0
Unfriendly to DevelopersReddit has a clear effort to remove third party integration by directly hiking the API costs to an unrealistic and misguided levels. Do not support this company- there are other ways to pass free time then to support a company which destroys livelihoods..KhaosFuryVersion: 2023.22.0
BrainwashedAlmost every user is brainwashed in one way or another. Looking through reddit is just seeing a multitude of hive minds..Crgyh6fdrv;ijVersion: 2020.17.0
Not great for how long it has been aroundThis app is 9 or 10 years old and is still missing some basic features.
- personal home page with the subs (communities) the user has in their list.
- proper text edit when commenting
- access to the community sidebar and rules
Just to name a few..RCNORTHVersion: 2023.24.0
This app is why I wouldn’t invest in Reddit’s IPOThey’ve actively been making it worse. They removed sorting options, they keep breaking the video player, it doesn’t have necessary functionality for moderators and on and on.
I get it, they need to sell ads and drive engagement in order to make money. I don’t think any of the changes actually help with that, though.
Ads and recommendations are poorly targeted at best, and users have little control over what they see. I mean, I keep getting crypto ads because I’m on a sub that makes fun of it. Recommended posts are even worse.
Now there’s some nagware telling you to share a post instead of taking a screenshot. Which you can’t turn off. Just let us take the damn screenshot, okay?
All this is a symptom of bad management. Development of this app is a dumpster fire. Reddit doesn’t understand its own platform or user base, as you can see when they mismanage nearly every crisis. Currently they’re mishandling a revolt among power users and moderators over the decision to kill off third party apps which frankly work better than this app.
Tl;dr: the app sucks and Reddit management is terrible..Anon_partnerVersion: 2023.24.0
Garbage AppMaybe if you’ve never used an app before you would think it is acceptable. The user interface is trash. Cluttered screens and unintuitive navigation. Be ready to see just 2 posts relevant to the subject you are there to see between all of the ads and suggested links. I hope I never come across whatever site/app they took inspiration from..Dried SyrupVersion: 2023.22.0
Not like ApolloTitle: Disappointing Experience with the "Reddit" App: A Review
Rating: ★☆☆☆☆
As an avid user of social media apps, I recently had the unfortunate experience of using the "Reddit" app. I must say, it left me extremely disappointed and frustrated. Comparatively, the alternative app, "Apollo," offers a far superior user experience and has no ads, making it a more appealing choice for anyone seeking a seamless social media experience.
First and foremost, the "Reddit" app seems determined to stifle competition by attempting to shut down "Apollo." This monopolistic behavior raises concerns about the fair and open nature of the social media landscape. It is disheartening to witness such actions from a platform that should prioritize user choice and healthy competition.
Moreover, the "Reddit" app falls woefully short when it comes to user experience. Navigating through its cluttered interface feels like stumbling through a maze, with an overwhelming number of tabs, menus, and subreddits that make finding relevant content a tedious task. In contrast, "Apollo" offers a sleek and intuitive design that enhances usability and makes it a breeze to discover and engage with communities of interest.
One of the most frustrating aspects of the "Reddit" app is the excessive presence of advertisements. They pop up incessantly, interrupting the user experience and making it difficult to focus on the content. It's clear that monetization takes precedence over user satisfaction. In contrast, "Apollo" respects its users by providing an ad-free environment, allowing for uninterrupted browsing and engagement.
Furthermore, the frequency of updates on the "Reddit" app is disappointingly lackluster. It seems that the development team is not fully committed to addressing user feedback and improving the app's functionality. On the other hand, "Apollo" consistently pushes updates, introducing new features, resolving bugs, and listening to user suggestions. This commitment to improvement sets "Apollo" apart as a platform that genuinely values its users.
In conclusion, I cannot recommend the "Reddit" app due to its poor user experience, intrusive ads, and questionable tactics in attempting to suppress competition. I urge users to consider "Apollo" as an alternative that offers a superior social media experience, free of ads, with frequent updates that cater to user needs. Don't settle for mediocrity when a more refined and user-friendly option is readily available..ThebassassinsVersion: 2023.22.0
CRASH PROBLEMThe app doesnt work ! crashes every 30seconds to a minute. my favourite app but man fix the crashing bug.AnfjkfvikfkrVersion: 3.7.0
Bloatware on iOS. Beware.Tons of unnecessary ads, storage space and network usage behind the scenes. Although it’s an official app, I do not suggest using this app to access Reddit..TristanW78Version: 2023.22.0
Apollo is better. Shame on Reddit.Thank you for greedily pushing out the only option to make your service usable.
Account will be deleted come June 30th & I’m hoping others follow suit..JessedomVersion: 2023.22.0
Terrible appHow they manage to be this terrible and buggy while solo third party devs do a much better job is baffling. No wonder Reddit feels it’s necessary to make it impossible for 3rd party apps to continue..Dishum11Version: 2023.22.0
TerribleThe app has not gotten better and instead of using competition to be better they simply shut down competitor apps. So disappointing.SkechyMcWhiskasVersion: 2023.22.0
Anti-developer is anti-consumerThe move to price an absurd amount to their API is no more than just a cash grab. With the direct consequence of phasing out third party apps, apps that brought the reddit name to where it is. A move to gate-keep and stifle innovation will be the burning bridge that Reddit won’t be able to get back. Please listen to the developers and be fair!.AvidRedditor123Version: 2023.21.0
Worst Reddit AppMuch better off with a well made Reddit client. There are many good options..Ziplok98999Version: 2023.24.0
Terrible app without a focus on usersI’ve had to delete my Reddit app today, it is garbage. It’s readability and functionality is poor. It drives ads and reddits own function like surveys like no tomorrow. 3rd party apps were the only way to read reddit in a protected and functional manner. When 3rd party apps are taken offline, is when I quit Reddit forever..Phool_77Version: 2023.22.0

Will be soon deleting Reddit once Apollo goes dark..ValiamoVersion: 2023.24.0
Significantly worse than any of the third-party optionsThey’re killing third-party apps because they want a better valuation for an IPO, but their official app has a horribly unintuitive UI and it’s riddled with useless ads, tracking, and “suggestions” that make actually reading or contributing a horrible experience..Michael CumbersVersion: 2023.21.0
TerribleReddit sucks and is nothing but a far left echo chamber. They have recently deleted 2000 communities for wrongthink. This is unbelievable censorship of free speech that is occurring.Gabe444Version: 2020.23.0
No thanksUnacceptable. The rise in API costs has essentially killed third-party apps, some of which were much loved by the community and a lifeline for disabled users. Add to that a swarm of bugs and glitches, Reddit has moved from being user-friendly to an inaccessible, bug-ridden disaster. Greed over accessibility, not cool..Pe_EhlVersion: 2023.24.0
Stop ruining RedditI don’t normally leave reviews but these recent app changes have been so unpleasant I’m considering leaving Reddit as a whole. I have no idea why your design team is so out to ruin the experience of the mobile app, it is not intuitive, not easy to use and overall unpleasant. Get it together.Jimbo00164Version: 2022.07.0

Reddit No MoreI am a long time Reddit user. It used to be great. But soon I will leave Reddit because of recent change in Reddit policy. I cannot support the “If you can’t win, just kill your competition.” approach..WeinanhVersion: 2023.24.0
The Worst Way to Browse RedditOverflowing with ads and other promoted content, lacking basic customization, inferior to all the main third party apps by a wide margin..Consumer037195Version: 2023.24.0
If this is the only option I’m not using Reddit anymoreApollo was the best of the best Reddit clients out there, and Reddit has out of nowhere started to charge an obscene amount of money (around $20 million per year!) for developers to create third party applications. Obviously, this is unaffordable, and is a thinly veiled way to kill off 3rd party apps entirely.
Out of all the social media apps I’ve used, this is by far the worst one. It’s terribly buggy, spams notifications about posts that aren’t even relevant to any subreddits I’ve joined, and is just generally a chore to use. It feels like an app designed by people who don’t really use Reddit. In addition, the moderation tools are abysmal, and they have put basically zero effort into accessibility for people who are visually impaired (which Apollo was amazing for).
I sincerely hope Reddit reverses their decision to essentially ban 3rd party apps. If this is the only option, I’ll just leave Reddit entirely..DrewHockVersion: 2023.21.0
Spam popup asking me to upvoteTheres is a new feature asking you to upvote every time you read a post. Dumb and annoying, if I want to upvote it I’m a big boy I’ll upvote it..SawdomiseVersion: 2021.23.0
App sucks, CEO sucks, Apollo is way betterAbsolutely horrible way to handle 3rd party apps, wish management would be better… site is supported by unpaid volunteers. 3rd party apps allowed a better experience for users and moderators, yet selfish Reddit CEO tries to inflate his app by lying about other developers, and killing their apps, just so he can IPO, whole killing the golden egg laying goose. /u/spez can gargle marbles.Tricheur_Version: 2023.23.1
Reddit - cesspool of female hatred and rape fantasyReddit has taken the unusual step of deleting feminist subreddits, calling them "hate groups". Maybe women wouldn't have so much to talk about if this app wasn't full of rape fantasies and other assorted misogynistic content.

Don’t kill third partyI like Reddit, but this is no way to run a business. Don’t kill third party apps just because you can, they actively make Reddit a better deal for a lot of people.
