Reddit: The Official App
By reddit
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
Description
Funny cat photos, trending news stories, and the best discussions on the internet—these are just a few of the awesome things the official Reddit app does best.
On Reddit, there’s a community for every subject imaginable: your favorite sports team, relationship advice, memes, the latest in news and politics—all in real time.
And if you like gifs (or jifs, jiffys, glyphs, ifs, however you choose to mispronounce it), we’re positive you'll love it.
What’s that you say, girl? “What about a community dedicated solely to images of cats standing on their hind legs?”
We got that, too.
Whether you’re into movies or space travel, baking or weight training, cheesy dad jokes, world news or Hollywood gossip—or all of the above—you can instantly share your content and ideas with an audience of millions.
We’re not saying Reddit is like all your favorite apps put together. But if we were saying that, we’d tell you it has:
• the trendy headlines of Twitter
• the educational content of Quora
• the viral pics of Memebase and Imgur
• the jokesters of Tumblr
• the lols of 9GAG and theCHIVE
• the cringeworthy personal stories of FML and Fail Blog
• the rage comics of fourchan
• and the powerful, human stories found only on Reddit.
(Oops, we went full circle.)
So the next time you’re bored and need a break—wait, you’re bored right now? Why are you still reading this? Download the app already!
Those cats won’t stand on their hind legs forever...

Great functionality
Former Alien Blue user here. I held off on adopting the official Reddit app because I had heard a lot of griping about it. But once I finally did a few weeks ago, I found that I preferred it. It handles image rendering and compatibility with linked sites much better than Alien Blue ever did. It has most of the features Alien Blue had, including all of the features I actually used such as the Night Mode semi-palate-swap. And the layout and design that includes larger text and large spacing between posts and threads, while annoying to some, is actually appreciated by this iPhone 5c user with a smaller screen than most current smartphones.
The only issue I have with the app is when attempting to close/expand threads or comments or click on commenters' user names. I feel that the target areas for these are quite small and bunched together and find it difficult to target them precisely. Perhaps this is a needed trade-off for a more compact display area, but I seldom had this issue with Alien Blue, despite it generally according less spacing between and within comments.
Updated from 1 star to 4 stars now 5 stars
I used to get constant crashes with this app and I was so disappointed that it replaced "Alien Blue" but the app is MUCH better now and so far the only problem I have now is the on screen button to upvote the last comment on a thread is blocked by the on screen button to go to the next comment making it literally impossible to upvote the bottom comment on a thread because the button with 3 down arrows to skip to the next comment is blocking the upvote button. Fix this and I'll move my rating up to a 5.
Edit: they fixed my last complaint and now have my 5 star rating!
Another Alien Blue expatiate coming 'round
Like many I was dismayed initially with this app, after using Alien Blue for years. It did not take long to come around to this, the official app, however. Gone are Alien Blue's difficult diagonal controls and inefficient pull-to-preview gimmick. The official app is fast (albeit a little crashy) and has the look and feel of a modern app. I'm confident this honeymoon period will end when Conde Nast starts to push monetization, but for now the app works well enough and looks good doing so.
Edit: less crashy now
