Some feedback:

Gifs do not play, however they should.

Uisng the Frontpage to pupulate the popular category results in pictures that make no sense without the headline. Maybe use /r/funny or something.

When I login with my reddit account, you could provide the option to use my subscribed subreddits.

Maybe provide some default subscriptions?

Overall good work!

Hey, thanks for the feedback!

Working GIFs is a feature on my TODO, for sure! :)

There will be something like suggested subscriptions once you don't have any.

First screen sometimes is a little bit strange indeed, I don't have a good idea for that now.

I love your website design. What’s that animated background made of? I will check out the app in a bit when I have my android phone handy!

Website uses a template from https://cruip.com/

Thank you!

I've just released the very first public version of my application which I've been working on for the past month.

Reddigram - an app that aggregates photos from Reddit and displays them in a [redacted]-like manner. We can double tap them to upvote, there are subreddits subscriptions and other features which are presented more vastly on the landing page of the app (domain is temporary): https://reddigram.wolszon.me/

Why have I created it? That's simple, for pure entertainment whilst you are sitting on the toilet or trying to get asleep or just as an alternative for scrolling [redacted].

You can download it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.wolszon.red...

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Any plans to release the source?

I'm planning to monetize the app with ads, just like on [redacted], a visual add once every x photos and I want to keep it as a closed source.

you meant s/visual add/visual ad/, right?

yes, typo, sorry

What about the comments? None of the screenshots on either the website or the Play Store show how a comments thread would look like in your app.

Comments aren't a feature I'm going to implement there, that's strictly for "scrolling entertainment", if you want to dive into discussions you can open the post on Reddit (using the button under the photos)

iOS planned?

It's written in Flutter, so porting this to iOS is a matter of ~2hrs, but I don't have a Macbook nor an App Store license. Once I'll have my hands on those I'll surely release it to iOS!
