I was asked to post here. cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/18458440

Since a lot of you asked me to build an Android version and post about it here when I launch, and I sincerely apologise that I forgot to post on lemmy sooner. The free app was launched on Play store almost a month ago and has garnered some excellent reviews. It has feature parity with the iPhone App and works on all Android 8.0+ devices.

You can download the app here.

Any feedback is wholeheartedly welcome, you can also post issues and contribute to the rdx web app on Github.

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.

My reddit web viewer still works! Story: When reddit killed 3rd party apps, I uploaded a web viewer I have been using for myself to Github pages for everyone to use...

If you want to lurk on Reddit, you can use this web reader I built for myself when I got inspired by the Apollo app years ago

Apple is removing PWA(progressive web apps) from EU Which means:

1. Your subscribed subs will be removed if you don't use the app in the last 7 days - https://stackoverflow.com/a/76792560
2. Your saved posts will be removed in the same way, and all other settings if you don't consistently use the website.
3. You won't get the options I have added like a fixed header for standalone version.

So any PWA website that you currently use won't be able to store anything in your localstorage for more than 7 days after you visiting that website.

Reason: Apple confirms: It's killing home screen web apps in the EU

Posting the updates here because most of the users of RDX come from lemmy community only.

1. Compact mode (smaller thumbnails, faster loading) is here,
2. Infinite Scrolling is here. If that's your thing enable it from the settings page.
3. All GIFs now load faster than ever.
4. OP's comments are labelled.
5. New themes and fonts. (not just the default dark and white, go colorful)

I posted about that here and forgot < https://lemmy.world/post/896361> but today when I checked cloudflare analytics it showed about 1000 pageviews in last 24 hours. Looks like some people are using it so just wanted to let you guys know that it works, no ads. no popups nothing.

You can't login or anything but it's good for viewing posts and media and you can switch subreddits easily by clicking on the page title in the center like Apollo. Also it's on Github.
