Good if you block ads

I used this religiously until they started playing audio ads on the main page. Having audio ads suddenly blare in the doctor's office was not a fun experience. They made me install a proxy based ad blocker. They use to get ad revenue off me when they had audio-less ads. Now they get nothing.
Tipping point

This app is on a rapid downward spiral. Read most of these reviews, the primary complaint is ads. So presumably the developers are hell bent on making more advertising dollars rather than retaining users. The ads are video, auto play, and occasionally pop up. There is no way to disable the sound, or stop the ad. Even clicking on a post doesn't stop the ad, it continues playing in the background obnoxiously loud because if they didn't boost the audio as much as they could, how would they annoy you to levels that would drive you to delete an app you've been using for two years and write such a negative review?
Riddled with ads

Pop up video ads, pop up ads that force you to either click the link or close the app, audio from ads play no matter where you are. I know it's a free app, but there should be a limit to how many ads they force on you. Ads after scrolling down. Ads on each page you visit. Ads you can't escape unless you close the app. It's gotten out of hand. I'll just download the official app and not deal with this.
Its ok

It works well most of the time, but has a couple bugs. They're pretty minor and don't matter much though. One thing I don't like is that the ads play audio automatically, which is rather annoying, even if it is the free version.
can't shut off as audio

the ad isn't even visible on my screen and its playing the audio from the ad. I have music on and it just plays it anyways. this is dumb.
Used be good, now it's annoying
Woow:(
Time to switch to a different app. Whenever I open the app there's background commercial audio that I can't turn off and I had no idea where it came from. Annoying.
Auto playing ads now

I've been using this app for over a year and recently noticed they have started auto playing ads with audio. This is beyond annoying and I understand ads support the free app but this approach by them is awful. Uninstalled and finding a better UX for my Reddit needs.
It was okay. Now I'm deleting it.

It worked fine for me for a while. I could handle the banner ads and slight glitches. Now I'm deleting it because of the pop up video ads and ads that have sound that won't go away. It's extremely annoying and inconvenient.
Good app, bad ads

I have no problems with the inclusion of ads in a free app. I do have problems with ads that redirect you when you don't even click on them. There's a line, don't cross it.
