Official Reddit app not accessible! (self.Blind)
submitted by deafblindgirluk
Hi can anyone recommend an alternative app -if it exists- that I could access Reddit with on my android phone?

The official app no longer has large text size option in settings and it also is not supporting the larger font sizes on my phone settings. I contacted Reddit help several times and they were appalling, didn't seem to understand the problem in first query and didn't reply to any subsequent messages.

People talk about baconReader like it's pretty good. I also just downloaded Antenna for the iPhone. not sure if there's an android equivalent though. HTH

Hey! Android dev for the official app here. Sorry about your bad experience. I'd like to investigate why the font size settings aren't working for you. Would you mind sharing what version of the app you were using (should be able to find it on the settings screen), what kind of phone you're using and what version of Android it's on?

I use Reddit is Fun for the large text options and black theme.

A lot of sighted people use Reddit Is Fun on Android, so maybe try that.

Check out RedReader for Android. While it's been a while since I've used it as I switched to an iPhone, they were extremely helpful with adding larger font sizes and improving Talkback labeling.
