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.
Needs more functionality
The app is great but it's missing a lot of features that Alien Blue users are definitely going to miss. Quicker access to night mode, a less compacted voting system, more navigable menu system for post/subreddit options, left hand support, etc. Force touch integration would go great with viewing links and images in much the same way we could on Alien Blue. A redesigned UI would not only make the app look better, but function more efficiently. A simple blur over subreddit headers would maintain the focus on whatever topic the subreddit is geared towards and give a little dignity to the hard work that most likely went into making it. It would also be a lot more appealing. Grouping subreddits to create a multireddit-esque system would be much appreciated as well. Overall a solid app (for what it is) but could definitely be made more similar to the app it tries to replace. So far, it's not doing a very good job.
Slightly less comparable to Alien Blue
The app itself runs extremely smoothly. Every function and its execution is great. Load times and usage are/is not frustrating at all. However, compared to Alien Blue, there are less options and it seems a little less inconvenient. For example, being able to watch gifs and videos seems a bit extra as it takes more numerous clicks to watch them. I would also like the voting arrows to be to the left of the thumbnails or at least have the option as I like to hold my phone with my left hand. It's really small details that add up. Like I said the app itself is great, but offers less variability and options. And another favorite I would like to see is the use of "Casual Subreddits" that Alien Blue offered too! In short, this app is definitely great, but is, of course, not perfect. There is SOME room for improvement.
