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.
How does this work? I thought the API charges killed all free reddit viewers.
It’s read-only.
That won’t stop them from blocking once they notice. Years ago Hulu blocked a Hulu app on xbmc. It wasn’t even like it bypassed ads. But every month they’d block and the developers had to make a work around. So it was one month working, one month not.
Personally I’m fine with never using reddit unless something comes up in a search or a post. It only prolongs switching to alternatives.
Probably parses old.reddit.com
Reddit claims that’s illegal too. They now block Microsoft from indexing them because Microsoft isn’t paying them.
That’s only because they honor robots.txt. App users aren’t robots, so it’s ok.
