User Reviews
It does require a subscription but it is cheaper than what reddit offers and the app is way nicer and highly customizable. Definitely worth the money.
I try to use this app but can't access it without a subscription
you have to pay in order to use the app
Constantly getting hit with the “no posts found” screen. Doesn’t matter if it’s the home tab or a subreddit I follow. I noticed this issue awhile ago and now it’s becoming more frequent. Unsubbed.
No ads, totally customizable, rock solid stable, worth every penny
Worth it for no ads, main Reddit app is frustrating
Narwhal is, by far, the best way to Reddit. The filtering alone keeps me sane.
I’ve been using narwhal for years. As the official reddit app gets worse and worse narwhal just seems like the obvious choice.
I wouldn’t use Reddit if it weren’t for this ad-free, fast, smooth app. I use this app every day and love it.
It’s like Reddit the way it was 10 years ago!
I’ve been using Narwhal for years, and the release of Narwhal 2 has made it even better. The subscription is worth every cent. The developer is very responsive to questions, reports of bugs, and feature suggestions in the apps subreddit.
