Comments about RedReader Android Version

I love you. Seriously. I'd rather eat a bowl of live cockroaches with sour cream than use the official Reddit app, and while FF mobile made Reddit bearable, I had to keep zooming in because some page elements like the arrows were positively tiny, plus I couldn't readily tell which links were videos (I skip videos unless they look really interesting). Red Reader is *beautiful* and I actually came back, looking for a "pro" version so I could support the project.

Wow what a great app.. I am a refugee from RiF and really like this already. Sure it's not the same, and certain settings need to be enabled (video controls and disabling tap to close were first to adjust), but the app styling is great! Hopefully Reddit doesn't nuke it. Edit - Honestly, I like this better than RiF. It's faster.. Just can't use NSFW subs, but I just use the official app for that and immediately close it because it's not very good!!

I keep getting a "Page not Found" error after accepting when trying to connect my Reddit account. Any suggestions? Would love to try out RedReader. Update 11 October: Thanks for the reply. I tried switching between WiFi and mobile data without luck. Will check back in periodically to see if I can log in. Update 12 October: Was able to login after restarting my phone!

What is an XAPK file, and what should I do if the RedReader I downloaded is an XAPK file?

Open up

A file with .xapk extension is a compressed package file. It is a container file format that incorporates APK and additional associated files required for the installation. The XAPK format was introduced to package the APK file and OBB file together for a seamless delivery and installation process. XAPK format can help reduce the package size of application. On mobile phones, users need to install the XAPK installer first, and then install XAPK files through that installer. You can find the installer here:https://apkcombo.com/how-to-install/. But on PC client, you just need to put the file on LDPlayer.

Can I play RedReader on my computer?

Yes, you can play RedReader on your computer by installing LDPlayer, an Android emulator. After installing LDPlayer, simply drag and drop the downloaded APK file into the emulator to start playing RedReader on PC.
