Decent
It's always nice to use a first party app but other third party apps have been around for so long that they really have set the precedent and this app simply falls short. Biggest issue in my opinion would be the fact that you have to go through a four step process to watch a gif... You tap on the post, tap the play button, you get directed to imgur, have to click play again, and you watch the gif on QuickTime... On BaconReader, you can simply tap on the image, the gif automatically plays, and tap to close. This app is also missing the 'rising' category which is where the goldmine is for finding posts before they hit frontpage and reaping that karma. It also lacks the ability for you to change your default 'homepage' or the first page you see when you open the app. I usually like going through r/all instead of my frontpage of subscriptions. There is no option to change that. The app is smooth, and fast. However it lacks some key features and options that other apps have provided for years.
Just as good as the website
I'm so glad to finally see a decent app for Reddit. This has everything I would expect from Reddit, and as far as I can tell there are no limitations in the app, it can do anything that can be done on the website. It's easy to get familiar with the layout if you frequently use Reddit. Everything you need is right where you'd think it should be. And the design is much nicer than the default website theme. Hopefully this app won't be like Soundcloud, which has gotten worse over time with updates. The only problem at the moment that I want to see fixed is there's no way to stay logged in. The app forces you to sign back in daily and won't remember any of your information.
It's a clean mess.
It's a very smooth app that runs well. Everything's oriented in a user friendly manner and you can basically find anything you need. This is what makes it clean.
What is a mess is when you try to watch a gif or video, you have to click the image 3 separate times to view it at all. First you have to click the reddit link which openes up the image again, then a play button for the gif or video which then takes you to the host, then you have to click it AGAIN for it to start playing. At least with AlienBlue, I click the link and it starts playing the gif/video with that one click even if it was slow sometimes. You have to click the link 3 separate times for it to even play. It's ridiculously annoying and if AlienBlue managed to make it work right, why can't the official Reddit app?
