Argus for Reddit

With all these social media apps trying to take your data, apps like Argus needs to thrive. It’s quick and easy to get your subreddits on the main page. If you’re a lurker, I would very much consider using Argus as a data friendly alternative to the main app. I would ask for 2 possible changes? The first is you can’t see body text in an image post. If the post is an image, no text will be displayed. You can confirm that the OP did have text to read if you visit the same post on the site. I would also consider adding a “skip” button, so you can jump to the next top comment. Otherwise, this is a fantastic app for lurkers and I highly recommend it.

This is exactly what I needed! I have a few bookmarks on my phone that take me to a few subreddits that I want to see and NOT comment on and Reddit has made it increasingly hard to do that, constantly pushing their terrible default Reddit app pushing me to make an account. This app lets me follow whatever subreddits I want. Apparently, I can even make multireddits. There is an option to turn off comments if you’re prone to doomscrolling comment sections. There is an option to mute users, SOURCES, and keywords. All of this without signing up for ANYTHING. I would recommend this to anyone that likes using Reddit for information, but want to keep their info private and/or avoid getting bogged down in comment sections. THANK YOU to the person/people who made this app. ❤️

This app is quite literally the best, minus for viewing media and a few tiny QoL issues. See here: - When viewing a video, you’re unable to easily swipe to the next post in the feed; Reddit recently fixed this and broke it again. When watching multiple sources and takes on things that are complex like the financial markets, geopolitical stuff, etc, this is an awful pain in the bottom. - If the video is an embed or from a non-prohibited external source, instead of being able to play via the embed, you click play and it takes you to the source site. There are many hosts that embed directly in to the official reddit app. It’s easily a 5 star app from me, but that needs to be fixed. It would ideally be nice to be able to search keywords and scroll posts from multiple subreddits though. The “multireddit” feature fully makes up for it though, but of course it only supports subs you add specifically. Good job dev. Keep it up. Would love to see these fixes, as I don’t even have the actual Reddit app installed anymore and prefer this one by miles. EDIT: Saw someone else mention the ability to toggle a setting to hide “seen” posts. That would indeed be really nice. Should be easy to exclude certain posts, and always see the toggle on/off or at least be able to select a “hidden posts” tab at the top of each sub, or something. Also, autoplay would be cool assuming you implement proper media controls and allow for scrolling post to post with the media selected and playing. Finally, a robust “favorites/reading list/bookmark” implementation would be supreme.
