Reddit is deleting itself, CEO never learns
Same for the App Store for the last 3 weeks or so.
Reddit is 100% already crying to Google about "review brigading" and will get almost every 1star review since the API changes removed. Money looks out for money.
There was a post about the large number of recent one-word five-star reviews recently. I suspect they don't want Google looking too closely at the legitimacy of their reviews.
I just flagged it as inappropriate - other and stated that such a garbage app should not be an "editor's choice" app.
Mobile dev here - I gave it half a dozen one stars on both Google Play and iOS
Wondering if dowloading it just to give 1 star review does more harm than good
Most people who've used the app know it's technically challenged. One star is more than it deserves in my opinion.
I can't review it for some reason lol.
Didn't think about that! Thank you! Review left.
The official reddit app is a piece of shit spyware. Just watch all the metrics that fly back to home base when your using it.
Oh. Hey, thanks for the reminder. I'd forgotten to place a review for this product, but I feel it's the responsible thing to do.
It definitely deserves a 1 star rating and I encourage everyone to do the same.
I, too, am one of the many people who were just reminded to leave a review
Yup, I left a one star review as soon as I learned about this crap. I started how I'd always used third party apps and all quitting reddit because of their bullshit. As a final touch, I left a few links to some sites for the fediverse and said that is migrated there instead
When I had iOS I liked the app and didn't see the need to use a third party one.
Now I'm on Android and the official app is a stuttery mess, so I moved to a third party one and left a bad review mentioning the performance.
