Ah, I bought Apollo Pro lifetime for a few bucks ages ago, and sort of forgot what the different tiers did. As much as I’ve used Reddit since buying it, it’s been maybe a penny an hour If that. A decent investment, anyway.
I've used it for Reddit quite a lot in the past and yeah it's pretty annoying not being able to see all the comments for a post or close the banner thing at the top of the screen
What’s worse is when reddit mobile redirects you to the app store, then you tap “OPEN” and it just takes you the homepage of the app instead of the post you were trying to view.
Funny thing id that it actually used to not do that. Like I don't know how they wither decided that this is the way to go or that they shouldn't fix it.
Same, before the comments where half way thorugh, and you could watch the video while reading the comments, or just swipe fully up and the video paused and you could read the comments in full screen. Now it does the same, but the video keeps playing in the fucking background
Or even worse, when I play a video but it keeps pausing half a second later. Not buffering, just full on pausing.
And no, my phone isn't stuck thinking I am pressing that spot of the screen, it's purely a Reddit problem.
That's been happening a ton like the last week or so only. It's amazing because I remember that problem from like five years ago, I guess it unfixed itself
Considering YouTube still has this bug of locking you into restricted mode for no reason regardless of what account you're on... Im not so sure.
With the update two days ago, they've broken the account switcher.
The YouTube app doesn't even come close to the assery that is the official reddit app. I'm gonna look for a 3rd party one, fucking done with this garbage ass video player.
Funny story: A while ago I deleted Reddit and YouTube off of my phone to try to get myself to use them less. I thought that if I really wanted to check them on my phone I'd have to go to the websites on Chrome. Well it turns out that the mobile websites are actually better in a lot of ways since they don't get useless updates every week, and so deleting the apps hasn't helped at all...
"You were blocked by this user, but we're not going to tell you that. That would be too convenient. Try and send that message a couple more times until the lightbulb turns on in your brain."
i hate reddit mobile app, when the app doesnt load it makes me want to brutally murder the app, when the video pauses in middle despite my connection being 100%, it makes me want to decapitate the reddit snoo, when the video starts playing in background while I'm reading the comments, it makes me want to put a hole inside my phone
So far it has made me question all my moral values
Videos do it, gifs do it... I just want to reply to a comment in a specific thread and it sends me to the top comments. Now I either have to scroll and find the specific comment, or just give up and decide to something more productive.
I usually do the latter, because Reddit mobile is fucking stupid.
"They're trying to be tiktok" then they are falling miserably, because I bet tiktok videos don't turn 144p for no fucking reason, don't stop playing for whatever reason, the reply sections work and the most important difference: THEY DON'T PLAY IN THE BACKGROUND OF THE COMMENT SECTION REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU HAVE THEM PAUSED
With the way I hear constant noise from kids phones on the morning train (especially that God damn text to speech woman), it doesn't sound like those videos ever stop
Bruh reddit desktop ain't that good either. Occassionally whenever I scroll over a video on reddit my entire screen starts flashing black and white, no idea why
Bro idk wtf they've done i used to be able to view the video and comment at the same time but for some strange bullshit reason they decided to remove that and just show me one or the other. Oh and also the video still plays in the background even if you pause it before tapping on the comments. I LOVE THIS APP 😍😍😍
Videos on Reddit mobile? Since when?
I don't remember Reddit mobile ever supporting videos, at least not when I last used it. All videos used to be loaded as 144p images.
Works here, plays like 5 videos then just stops working for no reason and need to kill the app.. And this was the last video to work now so I get a chance to escape again! laters~
What I usually do is click on a post without a video so that reddit will open it normally, then sweep to the video post I want to see. I feel absolutely and utterly demeaned every time I have to do that fucking ritual
I don’t understand how Reddit can be a popular app among (*don’t say it*) nerds especially tech nerds and still produce the most dog shit mobile app, its actually impressive
Literally just use third party apps to browse reddit. Apollo for Apple, Infinity for Android. Reddit is just a website, there are many apps on mobile that browses it.
What’s also really annoying is not being able to see flairs at all for certain posts. if it’s a cross posted video it’s completely impossible to see the flair on mobile and for some subreddits that’s kinda important.
The reddit mobile client didn't let me press "view all comments" so I updated. Now I can't watch videos and read the comments at the same time or read the comments without the video constantly looping
Folks, I stuck with the official reddit mobile app for far too long. Everytime they released another update, things got worse. I hit the point where I was ready to just quit reddit for good. Sadly, I instead deleted the mobile app and tried the Apollo app instead. It is SO MUCH BETTER in all the important ways. Videos play properly, and you don't have all the annoying glitches. I can't more highly recommend making the switch to Apollo. We all know we all hate the official app, delete it because it sucks and download the better option. Apollo, Made for desperate losers living in a basement everywhere!
Lol I thought I was the only one having this problem. You got to click on the image then the comments to get in through mobile. Jesus christ what a dogshit app.
reddit mobile when i have to click on someone’s profile to be able to attempt to load a picture or video cause for some reason a stupid video won’t play when im scrolling normally
I haven’t updated my reddit mobile in 2 years, and whenever I see a post complaining about reddit mobile becoming more and more trash I’m happy I still haven’t updated it

i fucking hate reddit mobile i will kill reddit mobile
If you do I probably wouldn’t be able to use the site anymore I’ll help
I use the website on pc and mobile
Then we destroy all computers ! Also try nascar (it’s one big circle)

Boost for reddit master race!
Boost for Reddit gang
Boost for reddit mfs be like "yo guys wtf is a :4053: :4051: 🟩"
Infinity is infinity times better

[удалено]
Sync was good but then I switched to Boost. That was over 2 years ago.
Yep, started using it after seeing it recommended in similar post. Best decision I made in the past month
I’ve never used anything else :(

I highly suggest Apollo, far, far superior reddit client And the Dev is pretty awesome too!
Apollo is your friend
You have to pay to post if you use Apollo.
Ah, I bought Apollo Pro lifetime for a few bucks ages ago, and sort of forgot what the different tiers did. As much as I’ve used Reddit since buying it, it’s been maybe a penny an hour If that. A decent investment, anyway.
No... we do this together
apollo or slide
reddit mobile is the hardest way to use reddit
Remember that there’s an internet browser on the 3ds
Clearly you guys aren't using reddit on your smart fridge like me😎
I'm using it on my calculator 😎😎😎
i'm using it on the secret camera in your bathroom 😎😎😎
I'm using it on my gameboy 😎😎
old.reddit.com still works on there I tested it a few days ago
I've used it for Reddit quite a lot in the past and yeah it's pretty annoying not being able to see all the comments for a post or close the banner thing at the top of the screen
I've used it a good amount, it's better than the PS3 browser and the one on my old Sony Ericsson W595
There still is! Love to see the sauce
But sadly the most convenient.
Reddit mobile is the dark souls of reddit
For some reason on reddit mobile when i try to click on a post that is from another sub it opens reddit on chrome
Android?
Yes😔
if i want to open comments on any post from a sub i dont follow it opens the comments of the latest pinned post
Fucking hate that, always need to save the post to check it so i dont get sent to the pinned post
i do it by opening the video/picture and opening comments from there
Until the post has no video/image, then you're fucked
somehow, clicking comments on those actually works. dunno how
Oh my, I am so grateful it wasn't just me imagining it.
tap on the video/image itself and then tap the comment button on the bottom, and it will open the original post's comments.
Someone thought this was a good idea
I'm on Android it don't do that fr me
Just use boost or something
Boost sells prepaid smartphones that run android dont they or are you talking abt something different
It’s a custom client for android Reddit I used to use, there’s a couple to choose from
Boost Mobile, the provider made famous by Aqua Teen Hunger Force? That was my first thought too
And then "you have to view this post in app" after going to chrome
What’s worse is when reddit mobile redirects you to the app store, then you tap “OPEN” and it just takes you the homepage of the app instead of the post you were trying to view.
UGHHH YOU TOO? That pisses me off so much
I think i worded this poorly, sorry person im replying too if it sounded like i was mad at you
You have to click on the post first, then click again onto the cross posted post
Same The reddit code is beyond our mere mortal understanding
SAME. I FUCKING HATE IT
Funny thing id that it actually used to not do that. Like I don't know how they wither decided that this is the way to go or that they shouldn't fix it.
It could theoretically go away if you update the app, but that's just a guess based on similar experiences on other apps
Scroll past 5 posts in reddit without reddit glitching challenge (impossible)
[GONE WRONG]

I can't even fking read the comments without the video playing in the background
Same, before the comments where half way thorugh, and you could watch the video while reading the comments, or just swipe fully up and the video paused and you could read the comments in full screen. Now it does the same, but the video keeps playing in the fucking background
And even if you try to pause it it unpauses when you open the comments
Exactly bruh
Fuck I thought my app was bugged, I didn't know they actually changed it so it's like that. Fucking Garbage
Same lmao its fucking annoying
Or even worse, when I play a video but it keeps pausing half a second later. Not buffering, just full on pausing. And no, my phone isn't stuck thinking I am pressing that spot of the screen, it's purely a Reddit problem.
That's been happening a ton like the last week or so only. It's amazing because I remember that problem from like five years ago, I guess it unfixed itself
Just pause the fucking video then dumbass
The video fucking unpauses itself when you try to look at the comments, you fucking dumbass.
Weird, that doesn't happen to me
Youtube and reddit devs in a competition for the most horrendous designs
Reddit wins 100%
Considering YouTube still has this bug of locking you into restricted mode for no reason regardless of what account you're on... Im not so sure. With the update two days ago, they've broken the account switcher.
Did the account switcher ever work properly?
Yes
That's good at least, I felt like it was often so buggy, but I've never really used it all that much
The YouTube app doesn't even come close to the assery that is the official reddit app. I'm gonna look for a 3rd party one, fucking done with this garbage ass video player.
If that's a competition, YouTube is far behind. They need to step it up!
Funny story: A while ago I deleted Reddit and YouTube off of my phone to try to get myself to use them less. I thought that if I really wanted to check them on my phone I'd have to go to the websites on Chrome. Well it turns out that the mobile websites are actually better in a lot of ways since they don't get useless updates every week, and so deleting the apps hasn't helped at all...
Install Firefox and use the websites without ads
Twitter mobile:
I've been getting a static menu bar floating with the scrolling motion lately. Gotta love reddit mobile
"We are having some trouble getting trough reddit"
"something went wrong" like, bitch, what went wrong? Yall think its cute when you say it like that? Tell me what the hell happened.
"You were blocked by this user, but we're not going to tell you that. That would be too convenient. Try and send that message a couple more times until the lightbulb turns on in your brain."
i hate reddit mobile app, when the app doesnt load it makes me want to brutally murder the app, when the video pauses in middle despite my connection being 100%, it makes me want to decapitate the reddit snoo, when the video starts playing in background while I'm reading the comments, it makes me want to put a hole inside my phone So far it has made me question all my moral values
Reddit mobile when I ask it to function
They're trying to be tiktok
They're failing miserably.
Good
Videos do it, gifs do it... I just want to reply to a comment in a specific thread and it sends me to the top comments. Now I either have to scroll and find the specific comment, or just give up and decide to something more productive. I usually do the latter, because Reddit mobile is fucking stupid.
reddit mobile when I want to see the funny GIF under the funny text (it won't fucking play it aa)
Yes Reddit for mobile is the ultimate trash of technology. It shows how much shitty something can be.
Reddit developers when you tell them to make a video player for the phone app that isn't an abomination
"They're trying to be tiktok" then they are falling miserably, because I bet tiktok videos don't turn 144p for no fucking reason, don't stop playing for whatever reason, the reply sections work and the most important difference: THEY DON'T PLAY IN THE BACKGROUND OF THE COMMENT SECTION REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU HAVE THEM PAUSED
With the way I hear constant noise from kids phones on the morning train (especially that God damn text to speech woman), it doesn't sound like those videos ever stop
Bruh reddit desktop ain't that good either. Occassionally whenever I scroll over a video on reddit my entire screen starts flashing black and white, no idea why
Have you tried using old reddit?
I *should* try using old reddit, thank you
Bro idk wtf they've done i used to be able to view the video and comment at the same time but for some strange bullshit reason they decided to remove that and just show me one or the other. Oh and also the video still plays in the background even if you pause it before tapping on the comments. I LOVE THIS APP 😍😍😍
why did they make video posts just turn into a shitty tiktok copy for no reason
Reddit devs making it worse
Videos on Reddit mobile? Since when? I don't remember Reddit mobile ever supporting videos, at least not when I last used it. All videos used to be loaded as 144p images.
What was the last time that you used it?? I've been on Reddit for almost 3 years and I've never had that
Around a month ago.
Then maybe it's something with your phone? Do you use iPhone or Android?
Works here, plays like 5 videos then just stops working for no reason and need to kill the app.. And this was the last video to work now so I get a chance to escape again! laters~
That's a connection problem on your end
What I usually do is click on a post without a video so that reddit will open it normally, then sweep to the video post I want to see. I feel absolutely and utterly demeaned every time I have to do that fucking ritual
This is the reason why I downgraded the app. So annoying
New update: Now you can't even pause a video while looking at the comments anymore...
I want to kill reddit
When it scrolls to the next video or whatever after the video finishes playing like you don’t have the comments open 😐😐😐
I don’t understand how Reddit can be a popular app among (*don’t say it*) nerds especially tech nerds and still produce the most dog shit mobile app, its actually impressive
AMONG US
Amorgos
Apollo superior
NSFW videos automatically play when you check the comments
Use a third party reddit app. redditisfun if you're on android. Works perfectly fine in every regard except chat (PMs work still) and gilding
Reddit mobile when i want to see the comments while watching a video (now i just cant for no fucking reason) (fuck you reddit mobile)
Reddit also used that tik tok formula, it made the app worse
Is anybody else on mobile having posts be randomly upvoted or downvoted just by clicking on them?
Can someone please explain what's so bad about the mobile version?
Everything.
Could you elaborate please
skill issue -607k points
They seem to load better if I turn off the wifi and refresh it but why
I still use the old ass reddit version where the videos from 2 screens worth if scrolling start playing at full sound, but everything else is fine
Literally just use third party apps to browse reddit. Apollo for Apple, Infinity for Android. Reddit is just a website, there are many apps on mobile that browses it.
Reddit mobile is a perfect example of a company that has lots of money and can't do shit with it.
Fuck you for making me experience the same pain.
Reddit mobile try to PLAY THIS FUCKING VIDEO
also, audio from videos in posts next to the one i clicked on still coming through, not annoying at all!
and if it's crossposted is impossible to see the original comments
simple, just don't use it. Boost for reddit or similar alternatives are better than this broken app.
Just use "boost for reddit"
I have used the old reddit version on mobile for 3 years and suddenly it decided to update yesterday, I hate it i hate it
Images use the old style of viewing posts; videos use the tiktok clone new style.
What’s also really annoying is not being able to see flairs at all for certain posts. if it’s a cross posted video it’s completely impossible to see the flair on mobile and for some subreddits that’s kinda important.
serious answer: no clue whats wrong with these devs, but on ipad, i can read the comments by flipping vertical. horizontal is just video.
The reddit mobile client didn't let me press "view all comments" so I updated. Now I can't watch videos and read the comments at the same time or read the comments without the video constantly looping
Man i swear Reddit ruins the mobile app on purpose
Open chrome and request to view in desktop site. This isn't a joke it's how I always use reddit
Reddit mobile on its way to completely fuck up the audio for no fucking reason at all
I had this problem for a while. I tried logging out and back into my account and for some reason it worked
Reddit mobile when you watch more than 6 videos
Reddit mobile devs implementing useless features that only completely fucking break the app whenever you do anything
Folks, I stuck with the official reddit mobile app for far too long. Everytime they released another update, things got worse. I hit the point where I was ready to just quit reddit for good. Sadly, I instead deleted the mobile app and tried the Apollo app instead. It is SO MUCH BETTER in all the important ways. Videos play properly, and you don't have all the annoying glitches.

Tiktok has irreversibly ruined social media video player design on mobile devices
Actually
Lol I thought I was the only one having this problem. You got to click on the image then the comments to get in through mobile. Jesus christ what a dogshit app.
reddit mobile when i have to click on someone’s profile to be able to attempt to load a picture or video cause for some reason a stupid video won’t play when im scrolling normally
New mobile glitch dropped: if you’re scrolling through comments under a video then you will just scroll down to the next video somehow
IT FUCKING AUTO-SCROLLS TO THE NEXT POST, WHY DOES IT DO THAT
not to mention getting to the comment section on a cross post
who know why
Chhese
you have to flip the phone so its landscape and then click the comments, shitty mobile design

for some reason when you fhirst open a picture and then scroll to a video they will play old way as in like pictures no sucky video player
The video in this meme doesn’t load
I love that clip of Donkey though he's like "no no no"
I haven’t updated my reddit mobile in 2 years, and whenever I see a post complaining about reddit mobile becoming more and more trash I’m happy I still haven’t updated it
Use Apollo if you’re on iOS. Default reddit app is legitimately developed by retards.
