BaconReader for Reddit Reviews

Nice so far.

Coming over from years on Android I struggled to find a client with the functionality I was used to. While not the most visually appealing UI, this is by far the most intuitive and powerful I’ve used on iOS. Also, to people who have used the app for years for free and are now complaining about the frequency of ads - Are you serious? You’ve used and enjoyed the app for 5 years. Send the devs a couple of bucks to remove the ads. I’ve used this app for a week and it was worth it for me and I am a cheapskate.

Slow recently

Latest updates to either app or iOS have made this super slow on my phone. Have to close appto get phone usage back. Uninstalling until I know this won't slow my phone to a crawl. Had been great until just recent. iPhone SE

Turn Your iPhone into a Frying Pan

They call it bacon reader because it causes your phone to overheat to the point that you could fry bacon on it. Deleted the app and my phone hasn’t overheated since.

Ridiculous full screen ads pop up every few seconds

I’ve used this app for many years with no issues but in the latest updates it launches full screen ads (go pros in my case) every 10 seconds it seems. Super annoying and makes the app unusable. Will start looking for a new app so I can delete this one.

Spams with full screen video ads

Used this for a long time, now it spams you with full screen video adds every minute or two. Will no longer use.

Better than reddit itself

Similar to the other reviews here I too have been using BaconReader as my main reddit app for years now and couldn’t be happier. The fact that I’m even bothering to write a review speaks volumes to this.

iPhone heats up drastically when using thr app

Jay Ables

Just a few minutes in the app causes my XS Max to start heating up quickly. It never gets this bad when playing games or watching videos.

Worth the money

I’ve used Bacon Reader for 4+ years now. I love the dark theme and comment layout. I definitely don’t regret buying the premium, well worth the small price.

This app is a mess

Meowzerz'''

Imgur links open to mostly black screens. Recent bug makes it so every comment says it was posted -24 seconds ago or something like that. also v.reddits can get a bit wonky at times, replaying the last bit before looping. Fix those things and you can have your 5 stars back EDIT: been many months, issues haven't been fixed, app crashes all the time, many bugs.

Used to be my favorite

Jollybeard

I don’t know what happened but when I click a message in my inbox, it takes me to the post it was on but won’t display any of the comments. The other reddit apps are pretty confusing to operate so I’m kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place here’s
