Feature request: Show Orange envelope icon when you get a new unread reply

Open immolated1 opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

While viewing the front page, reddit.com and 9 other of the top reddit apps I tested will all show you an Orange envelope in the top right corner when you have new inbox replies.

Red Reader does not have this. You have to manually open your inbox every hour to see if you have replies. Sometimes a message can go unread for several days, if not weeks without you knowing.

If you have notifications enabled you don't have to remember to check our inbox every hour.

Not everybody wants notifications going off on their phone all the time. But when I open redreader, it would be nice if it notified me about any new messages or replies like every other app does.

That's an intentional decision by the developer to reduce API calls, consequently he's one of the only developers that's been allowed to continue developing an app. So I guess it was the right decision.
