It’s been broken for weeks I hear that it works on some clients.

    This is very unprofessional of redgifs. If you have an API you should make it stable. If you have to release a breaking change then you should create a new version of the API and support both versions for a while.

    I’m on iOS and use Avelon which also can’t currently view redgifs content.

      From what I understand they do it on purpose due to all of the bandwidth being used where people aren’t going directly to their site to see the ads.

      I remember the Apollo creator was asked to do something specific when displaying redgifs. Like only SD quality or something.
