Won’t use it as much though since it’s lacking some features. 1) The commenting interface is okay. Doesn’t compete with Apollo. You can select(highlight and select) portions of comments and quote them in Apollo. You can also highlight your own text and automatically bold or italicize it. Very useful if you don’t remember the syntax required for these actions. 2) I would love if when you go to the profile icon, the overview generated right under the “history” option. Maybe a page break and then the overview under. Way to much navigation to get to the overview right now. 3) Also a bug - after searching something and deleting the text and refreshing the search page. The very same search results still hang around. Up until the next search 4) Would love for the upvote/downvote and comment buttons to be moved under. It’s sort of an Inconvenience to keep them up top. They also act as a page break.

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 Mac. Hey dev, add a link somewhere so people can tip you for making such a great free app available!

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.

It’s not. None, I mean NONE of Reddit’s settings, like blocked users and subreddits, transfer over to Comet. Meaning, theoretically, you’ll need to reset those settings within this app manually. This includes NSFW concern being hidden “by default.” This might not be a deal breaker for some, and by NSFW stuff it’s not all that important actually, but I’ve tried and TRIED to set this to show NSFW and NOTHING WORKS! It’s still all hidden. I’ve had this setting on since I first was on Reddit almost 5 years ago. It’s set to show unblurred NSFW stuff in the terrible official app, in the website itself, all to no avail. Normally this wouldn’t be a deal breaker as I don’t care much about that side of Reddit, but if this app doesn’t allow showing NSFW stuff, telling you have to turn these settings on in the app or Reddit website before you can view this stuff, only to STILL not show it even after all these settings are turned on, what else isn’t it doing?? Inferior app for a now inferior site.

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.

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 👍

F...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!

It seems new and pretty bare feature wise, but the foundations are there(yay darkmode) It runs flawlessly on my M1 MBP, doesn't seem to use much battery. The app looks great, and its easy to browse through the app, the layout is different and might take some getting used to, but so far I love it. I'm just glad we finally have a useful alternative to the reddit website on macOS.

I just wish I could switch to my favorite subreddits right from the home tab, without having to go to my subscriptions tab. And a search icon at the top bar of the subreddit instead of being hidden in the options would be really nice too! (But I know I can just use the search tab and restrict to a subreddit) but other than that, really an amazing app!

Works awesome for that but now I can’t receive chats? I see it in my comet settings but not on my home page. A tutorial for the app would be helpful.
