I've been a supporter going back years. Hell, I even bought the Reddit Boost knowing it would stop working, but just to support the dev.

But this app has more bugs than a termite mound, and I'm at the breaking point.

There are bugs that have been here for 2 YEARS that are still present.

Ok, maybe this side project isn't for this dev. I need an app that works.

Hide/MarkRead functionality is broken. No amount of Settings adjustments or install/reinstall/clear/etc will keep the problem from returning.

Interface functionality constantly disappearing and failing to reappear, especially when switching to/from Piefed.

Nothing works, really.

I just need this to show me things, let me hide them. Work without constantly breaking. 2 years is long enough to wait.

I mean, just from a quick scan of the community, you've made one post pointing out a bug and the dev responded, but you didn't do much to describe if/why his posted solution didn't work for you.

I don't know why you're trying to defend what is obviously broken, and if you want, you can go see how I'm not the only person complaining about this

It doesn't remember what you upvoted, downvoted, hidden

This app is so fucking broken, I literally cannot understand how you don't see it.

I've used it on multiple different phones, factory resets...., shake your head bro. This app got more bugs than an entomology lab.

But what is the point in trying to talk to any of you, the developer doesn't respond to any bug reports, nothing ever changes, the beta is more broken than the regular app.

I think the way that the community has responded here makes me realize it's time to just leave this piece of shit. It's literally more feature-rich, and easier to just use the desktop view of my phone browser.

I think you should use a different app. It's not that serious lol
