Description

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.

Research direction

Start by locating the inbox and front-page UI, then trace how unread replies are retrieved and represented. Add an orange envelope indicator for new unread inbox replies while viewing the front page, and verify that it appears and clears appropriately when the inbox is checked.
