Like what do I even do at this point. Its a free app and these reviews hurt app store performance,
i’m so tired of lazy greedy developers implying i’m a moron with their radical leftist “code”
You were way too kind and accommodating towards that piece of shit.
probably the kind of person to scream “woke DEI” everytime they see someone who isn’t white working at burger king.
I use RDX still if my Internet searches come up with a reddit page (technical troubleshooting)
Excellent app
Oh boohooh did the poor wittle “conservative” encounter pushback on its silly wittle Fox-news-adled ideas?
I’m going to give you a five star review to balance it. (Swiss app store)
Your first error was to create a reddit app.
Your second error was to not create or contribute to a Lemmy app instead.Hope that helped. :)
Why not contribute to Mbin & PieFed ?
That’s fine as well.
And this is actually the issue. As a developer I want to build and app based on what interests me. Then I want to write a post about it.
The comments:
- person 1: Why would you waste your time building an app for that platform, you should build an app for this platform that way less people use”
- person 2: “nah that’s a waste of time you should build an app for this even more niche platform with even less users”
- person 3: “you should just use RSS feeds and anything else is a waste of time”
Me as a developer “thanks guys I just wanted to build an app for a platform I’m passionate about”
Wrote this comment on my own lemmy client, because I like using about lemmy :)
Hey man build whatever you want, so what’s it called ?
Hey I have done actual feedback/ issues with the app.
About half the time i try to load a video it fails to open it. This can occur on comments too.
Also sometimes going to a sub reddit and then a post then hitting back button on android will cause it to completely close the app, like the breadcrumbs history is missing so it thinks you just want to quit vs go back to the sub reddit or home.
Thanks a bunch for making it, it does make browsing possible on mobile like 50%of the time :D
Hey, vacationing right now. Will go back tomorrow and then check out the bugs you have reported.
I had issues with the video player as well. I solved it by clearing my cache for the app.
Never experienced your other issue though.
Ahh they stepped out of their echochamber because the app shows r/all if youre not subscribed to any subreddit. Also, sometimes im forced to use reddit, love your app.
Just challenge the review because it’s not about the app? If you can’t do that, then just let it go.
How does it work after the API butchering?
Yeah I’m curious too! What technical sorcery is OP doing for presumably free API access
No reason to engage an idiot, not like you’re going to change his mind.
That’s not the point. When you respond to reviews like this the goal is to point out to everyone else who might be reading it that the reviewer is in fact a nut, and therefore their opinion should be discarded out of hand.
How do these apps still work? Aren’t the apis fucked? Is this just some fancy browser with extra steps?
I’m on Android so I didn’t look into OP’s app. I just went looking into it after this post. Apparently if you create your own developer app ID and patch an app to use yours instead, I guess your usage is too low for Reddit to bill. Something like that.
fyi rdx is on android too https://overdevs.com/rdx
Classic right-wing nut “You have to listen and like what I say or it’s CeNSOrShIp”
Standard reply:
Dear sir or madam:
Some crackpot has written me an abusive message, and it seems they used your account to send it. I’m replying to you as a courtesy in case you wish to take action against this lunatic.
It’s there a They/Them for Sir or Madam? Must include that as well.
“Sir or Madam” already is a “They/Them”.
“Dearest snookums”
Sadam.
Dudes wearing high tops for sure, right?
To
it may concern:
I’d guess “To whom it may concern” would be the most gender neutral/inclusive way to rephrase that.
Not that I know of. Unless someone has stated their gender or pronouns, I just use people’s names and avoid anything that assumes or implies gender.
If you believe my therapist friend who is also non-normative in a relevant fashion, demands for pronouns are often ‘othering’ in result, and thus go from farce to force.
So, I write fewer email.
I’m guessing you’re basing it off of this official legal correspondence, which I am including below for people who haven’t seen it:
Dear Mr. Cox:
Attached is a letter that we received on November 19, 1974. I feel that you should be aware that some asshole is signing your name to stupid letters.
Very truly yours,
CLEVELAND STADIUM CORP.
James N. Bailey, General Counsel

Not that, specifically, though it might be indirectly?
I’m basing it off of one of Gyles Brandreth’s yarns where he described how he dealt with abusive constituents when he was a MP.
Dear sir or madam:
Some crackpot has written me an abusive letter, and they’ve signed your name at the bottom. […]
Whether he came up with that or adapted it from something prior, I don’t know.
Can you report the review as not relevant?
I have reported it to Apple, let’s see.
I hope they delete it. Good luck!
Probably. I have no experience with the Google Play Store end of things, but we’ve gotten non-reviews written by crackpots removed from our Google Business profile by just pointing out to Google that they were either off topic or from someone who we could not identify in any of our records as being a person who actually did business with us.
For example, there was one guy who went around copy-pasting the same one star rant to seemingly every retail business in the city whining about mask requirements during COVID, which didn’t have jack monkey squat do to with us and was in fact a state government mandate that we did not control. As a public business we have to comply with the law. Google took that one down when we reported it, although I still see examples of the same screed from the same guy attached to other businesses who apparently didn’t have the wherewithal to complain.
I imagine “app that serves third party content the author doesn’t control and reviewer is complaining about the content not the app” is a situation that is very well understood at Google. Whether or not you can make them give a shit is a different question…
I used to work at the pub in England and the landlord used to write the insane reviews on the chalkboard.
Sure they pulled down your ratings but if you’re at 4.9 anyway it doesn’t really matter and it’s better to showcase the insane reviews than the actually legitimately negative ones.
The best one was the guy that tried to sue us because he was stung by a bee. Because apparently the bees work for us.
