Most of them will get removed due to ““hate spam”” anyways
Has already happened. Its on 3.9 again.
But they haven’t removed the obvious 5 star spam?
2.6 Germany. The 1 star reviews surpass the 5 stars by a lot!
3.0 in the US, just checked right now.
Total of 2,875,719 reviews.
4.8/5 on the apple store, Lol.
Most likely paid for those reviews lol
By definition, iPhone owners don’t mind paying ridiculous prices for things they can get for free.
I mind a lot, personally.
ok
The iPhone hate is hilarious to me. I used androids for years. Galaxies and Pixels. Without fail before two years old they were slow hot pieces of shit with terrible battery degradation
I decided to try iPhones. On a 12 pro since release. It just fucking works and battery has remained great. Sure it’s dropped to 80% capacity compared to release. But guess what. When it hits 79 apple will warranty it for me
I’ve spent less on phones since switching to iPhone than I ever did when using android
(And they hold their resale value really well. And the support windows are insane by comparison. I’m just saying 🤷♀️)
My Pixel 3 XL is still going strong after 5 years. It helps to be careful what apps get installed.
This is also a separate issue.
Sometimes they do last long like your phone. But despite it working still your phone hasn’t gotten a security update in over a year and isn’t going to again. Length of support on Android is not great.
I don’t hate the iPhone. I hate Apple for taking advantage of people who don’t know any better.
At this point they have a captive audience of computer-illiterate users who are trapped in the Apple ecosystem, forced to pay obscene amounts of money when their flimsy chargers die, because they literally cannot fathom how to use any UI more complicated than pressing a single button over and over again until their device does what they want.
What a weird 2015 take
“The new app is broken and frustrating” But they gave it five stars…
If you are on an iOS device, be sure to rate the lower starred reviews as “helpful”.
- find the app in the App Store
- tap show all reviews
- sort by most critical, or most recent
- long press on a review to select helpful/not helpful
Ok, so what’s everyone’s honest opinion about the app? I’ve used it once or twice before switching to rif and never used anything else. My wife has been using the official app and says it’s “fine”. I switched to lemmy after the API fiasco, so I really have no idea how it functions these days. Is it really that dogshit or are people like me just mad?
Put it like this. I was so mad about losing Sync that I downloaded the reddit app just to give it a 1 star review and then delete it.
When I downloaded the official reddit app, I found that I had already given it a 1 star review a year or two before this whole situation.
The official app is and has always been garbage.
The more I use Lemmy apps (favorite is Infinity), the more I realize what an awful experience the official Reddit app is. It’s so sluggish in a subtle way, it makes me tired to scroll. Plus, there’s tons of clutter, nothing is where it should be (e.g. r/all is at the very bottom of the left slider menu), and the app behaves in weird little ways (e.g. if you unmute a video, all your videos are now unmuted even if they’re autoplaying in the feed).
Biggest offender is the ads. All over the feed and comments, created on purpose to blend in so you don’t immediately realize you’re being advertised to. But other than that, the official Reddit app is enshittification by a thousand little shitty design decisions.
I patched it using revanced manager to remove ads. But it’s a buggy mess. The only good “feature” is inline image comments.
The video player rarely works properly, ads are pretty egregious, it’s hard to navigate with so much stuff bloating the UX, there are literal NFTs, and the app is generally much slower in general. And that’s just the app itself.
Fine is a good description of it. I used to use it and it was fine, not excellent not horrible, just fine. Then after quite some time I looked into 3th party apps, mostly because I got tiered of how all ads became more and more disguised as normal posts.
I liked Infinity so I stuck with that for some time. Then I switched back to the official one as reading posts on the browser from mobil got worse and worse and I couldn’t open the links in Infinity. The official app was ones again fine, a lot worse then Infinity but it was fine.
Then I figured out that you can make Infinity open reddit links and I switched back to Infinity again.
Then Reddit did what it did and now I use RedReader to read some communities that didn’t move.
For me the worse thing is that you are browsing your front page and they add posts from other subs, ads, etc, so at the end it feels you are browsing all. Maybe for some that is not a big deal, but for me it is.
I was fine with the official app until my main feed got filled with junk from places I didn’t want follow or want to follow. Once I switched to a third party app I saw how cluttered the offical app looked and never wanted to switch back.
It was dogshit since release yes
It sucks to use for one reason. The comment chains are difficult to look at since they’re not colored (I used Reddit’s app months ago so it might have changed).
I find it a little hard here too on my laptop, but I had RES set up to put a 3point line between each comment and their threads.
por que no los dos?
This is on the UK Play store.
I swear I checked last monday and it was 2.6. Damn looks like lot of bots are at work.
I think the results are regional.
Central Europe
And many of the 1 star reviews are really well put with good constructive feedback. So no reason to delete them. Riiight?
The reviews are fun. The top keywords or phrases have “absolute garbage” which means that collectively, people have assigned the reddit app to absolute garbage. Not garbage, not bad, but “absolute garbage”. Fantastic.
That’s the words I used too lol.
I hate how they try to force you into the app from the mobile website now.
No I don’t want to use your shitty app. I won’t even download it to leave a bad rating.
In my experience, haven’t they always done that?
I love democracy
