I’ve tried multiple Reddit apps in the past, from the official one to Boost to RiF, yet all of them used way more battery charge for the same amount of browsing I do on Jerboa.

This is great! Well done devs!

    In the age of 500 mb apps, a 18 mb one is a breath of fresh air.

    I’m also using barely any data.

    I used Infinity for a while and liked it, but now that things have changed, I had to adapt to a new environment like Jerboa. But Jerboa is not bad, in fact it’s really nice, it’s just a matter of time before I get used to it.

    I do find the light and simple nature of this app to be highly appealing. Just give me some comments sorting options and fix the bugs with images and then I’d say this app is perfect

      And let me change the size of the fonts! For some reason the comments aren’t changed by the settings.

      Is it possible to collapse comments on Jerboa? If not a tap to collapse is my #1 feature request. Comment sorting would also be awesome. EDIT: Figured it out! Holding down horizontally next to a commenter’s name will collapse! (With a slick animation), however I saw someone saying a newer release of Jerboa will have tap anywhere to collapse in comments.

    Related, having no trackers show up in TrackerControl for it is also very satisfying.

      I mainly use apps to be able to switch between apps using one switch apps button. Browsers like sleeping unused tabs and you can’t just use the switch apps button to browse both the internet and the funny in intervals of dopamine-fueled multi-tasking.
