  Fantastic Reddit App for Windows

  I am a big Apollo user on iOS and this is the closest thing you will find to that experience on Windows. There are a couple of things that I wish were possible so maybe the dev will see these and implement. 1. Ability to change not just the font but the size of the font. 2. Implement some type of gesture or option to hide the previously viewed posted after exiting and re-entering the Comet app. 3. When using the Dark - Blue theme, it can be difficult to identify what sub the post is from. My suggestion would be to make this some type of accent color that stands out a little more. 4. I can't put my finger on it but I feel like the refresh button does not always work or maybe it take a significantly longer time than I would expect. Maybe this is just user error on my part XD 5. Ability to move the "move to next main comment" button that is in the lower right. On mobile I know why it is the bottom right but when viewing on the laptop that button is quite a ways a way from the main scrolling performed on the left. These are all very particular comments and I would still use the app regardless if they were implemented. I would highly reccomend if you are looking for a clean Reddit app for Windows. Hey dev, add a link somewhere so people can tip you for making such a great free app available!

  Great app but a very annoying problem

  The ui and smoothness of this app is great but there's one thing that makes this app really annoying for me. There's no option to disable the swipe to upvote function, which is especially annoying when viewing comments because I can't swipe back to the previous screen without readjusting my grip to reach the very edge of the screen. Also there is no feature to rearrange subreddits for quicker access which I use everyday in Apollo. If these two things are fixed this would be my favorite app. Edit: they implemented full screen swipe back so that fixes that problem! Still can't rearrange subreddits.

  Good but very slow

  I’ve been enjoying the app so far for the most part. Definitely the best video player of all the iOS apps. Smooth interface with a good set of customizable features. But I am having major issues with the load times on the app. Loading comments takes a good 10-20 seconds every time. I have tried putting up with it but the last time I tried to open a thread, I went and downloaded Apollo, opened it fine, then came back to Comet only for it to still be loading. There is a lot to like about Comet, but I guess I’ll be on Apollo until something changes.

  So far, so great! but why Comet?

  What makes Comet such a pleasant reddit app and uniquely better compared to all the others? It's design, it's simplicity, the UI placement, it really is intuitive and not obtrusive and impractical. But what makes it great? Why 5 Stars? The consideration of delivering this whole experience with great performance! The app is lightweight and enjoyable, it's what every app should be like. My hopes for the future of Comet is that it will continue to upgrade without losing what makes it unique. The balance of design and performance. The most underrated reddit app right now 👍

  It needs something

  I definitely love the design this app provides compared to the official Reddit app. A lot cleaner and bubblier. But sometimes it feels a little toooo clean. For example, Comet shows the subreddit things were posted too as text only but it doesn’t show the subreddit icon. (Maybe even use those subreddit/user icons in more places) Also, some text is hard to differentiate because it’s all the same color, unlike the official Reddit app. Another thing that I wish it had was if it automatically showed posts when tapping on your profile. All of these changes could make the app prettier and easier to use. I know this could also make Comet look more like the official Reddit app, but at least give us the option for these changes. Other than that, I really love this app and it’s superior features. Great job!
