Posting the update here because most of the users of RDX come from Lemmy community only.
Why?
A lot of users asked for a more polished viewer with more features and users in the EU now can not add web apps to home screen, so I spent some time building an iOS app. You can also save images and videos/gifs from Reddit now. It’s stil completely free (with an optional donate option available), the web app also works.
You can download the app here

Spez can get fucked. Not going to lurk there, but if I do need to ever view any reddit content, the best fuck you way of doing it would be to use a third party app and not see a single ad. So yeah, I’ll give it a try if you release an Android version. Any plans?
Some people have asked about an Android app so maybe I will try to ship it by the end of this month. Thing is, I see thousands of users using the website but feedback/contributions etc are so small I don’t even know what people want. I mean I am not expecting 5 star reviews/donations from every user using it but people don’t even give good/bad feedback. I also don’t want to force tracking because that’s what I myself despise. So there is not way to know what people want unless they use the feedback form and tell me.
I am the mouthy broad you love to hate. Make an Android version and I’ll tell you everything I can, using proper vernacular. I’m a frontend developer so I might actually offer helpful feedback.
Android version in a week.
I saw, but don’t feel pressured. Take your time. We’ll still be here.
I want an android version of this. I will use the feedback form and tell you all about the good and the bad. I’m only one guy though…
In a week.
I would love an android version of this and I will give you feedback on it and donate.
Next week i will post the Android version.
If the app offers a feedback option through the app itself, I usually use it. But if I have to go into a git for feedback, I usually don’t. Nothing against git, I just don’t ever remember when I’m in front of the computer. [I, too, would enjoy an android app. On fdroid, if at all possible, but playstore is fine, too, if you don’t want to foss your project.]
[Edit]
Would it be possible for you to have a Lil pop up letting the people who use the app know? Something like, ‘Hey, if there’s anything you like or don’t like about the app PLEASE let me know I’m listening and want to make it better.’ maybe have it be at the top of any new download patchnotes.
In the spirit of offering feedback I disagree, pop-ups are terrible design, super abrasive and make the experience worse no matter when they show up
I don’t mind the way FairEmail does it. There is a pop up the first time its launched after an update, which shows the release notes.
Something like that, one time only, with a link to the Feedback button inside the settings within the app or something would be a good balance.
I usually dislike them as well which is why I suggested it for patch notes. Those might be the only popups I don’t mind cause it let’s me know of all the new cool stuff that the app has.
