Dystopia for Reddit

Downloading the app was a breeze, but signing in is an endless loop, where it signs into the Reddit page on Safari, without signing in on Dystopia. As the Reddit page is so cluttered, I can't find an option to allow Dystopia to have access to my Reddit account. I know that Reddit is responsible for this issue because they've forced other third-party apps to discontinue. The sign-in process was far easier on Apollo, may it R.I.P.

Good morning,
I was able to sign-in to both the main app & Afterglow just fine.
I’m using an iPhone 13 Pro Max running the ios 17 developer beta & using Microsoft Edge as my default browser.

Subject is pretty accurate. Is this app finally out of beta, and if so does this directory entry reflect the new changes to Reddit? I was one of the beta testers for this app, and it worked flawlessly for me. Never tried Afterglow support though, as it seemed to be a paid feature and I didn't have enough bucks.

The contents of the entire app, including afterglow, are absolutely free!
I just downloaded the app last night and couldn’t be happier with it.
Since there is now an App Store page for it, Yes, this app is no longer in beta. I am still going to keep the beta in my TestFlight list, in case the developer comes out with a new one, which I’m sure he will at some point.

I wonder why it took all of this to get this app finally on the App Store? The dev always had an excuse or another as to why he couldn't publish it even going as far as seeing a conflict with another job he had. However, since the random changes from Reddit now he can get this app published? I just find the whole thing a bit strange!

he just had a job that didn't allow him to publlish apps, it's annoying but that's all there is to it.

The app is fully useable with VoiceOver. The app layout is super easy to navigate.

This is a great alternative to the regular Reddit app.

I downloaded the app and tried to sign in. First thing it does is open Safari, but VoiceOver doesn't announce that, so I had to fiddle around a bit before I realised I was no longer in Dystopia.

Double-tapping on the "Continue with Google" button was a NULL operation, until I finally enabled screen recognition. Then, double-tapping opened a login dialog for my GMail address and password. Behavior was pretty clunky trying to enter this with a BT keyboard, focus jumping out of the text box while typing, as if it were enabling quick nav sporadically.

Then Google required I open the YouTube app to verify it's me signing in. God save me if I ever delete the YouTube app. I swear I keep it around for this reason and this reason alone.

And finally, I'm into Dystopia. That's about half an hour of my life I would like back.

Okay, so once I got signed in, I realized I was using the wrong account. However, there's no option to log out and sign in under a different username, as near as I can tell.

Go to Settings > Manage Accounts and then the name of the account you're signed in with, which will be followed by "sign out".

Under settings, the control that starts "Manage Account" seems to be non-standard. VoiceOver doesn't announce it as a link, a button, or any type of control that can be activated. I thought it was static text. I raised this issue on the Reddit Dystopia forum; maybe it will be addressed in a future release.

Otherwise, this app seems to work well. It has been years since I was in Reddit, and I had eyesight back then. Now I need to use it totally blind, and it's, well, quite an adventure.

It won't be, this app isn't being updated anymore as far as we know.

You might want to check out the reddit app, it's got a huge accessibility overhall.

Personally I prefer distopia, it lays reddit out in a very simple mannnor but the reddit app does work with VO.

You can also go into a setting that's called accessibility I believe, and change the order of voiceover announcements, you might want to do that to get rid of clutter, I think, and I could be wrong,, that you can tap on an option there to hide it from voiceover.

SO instead of hearing, bradlb30 20 upvoted, or just a number, , and other info, I think you can just make it say my username if that's what you want.

Hi,
As of a few months ago, anytime I attempt to do just about anything in this app, I receive the following error:
"System error
The data couldn't be read because it isn't in the correct format."
Any idea as to what this means &/or how to fix it?

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app?

How do you get this app?

Yes, dystopia is in the app store. You can get it at this link:
