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.
How does something get worse over time
After getting ripped off by them screwing over alien blue pro customers by removing premium purchases, I get an app that's worse. It crashes if it runs in the background for too long, forcing me to force close the app and starting over, losing whatever place I might have been halfway through reading. But even worse is they've removed the ability to swipe left to go back to where you were. It's too easy to accidentally hit the back button, and if you do, oh well, too bad. You used to be able to swipe left to return to where you were in a thread. No idea why they removed that. Apps should get better over time, or at least remain unchanged. But they managed to give us a worse app, now chock full of ads. I know ads pay the bills, but scrolling down, every fourth thread is an ad about Warcraft Legion. It's excessive.
Almost great
Reddit in general is amazing, and I tried this app at first, but stayed with alien blue. I came back to it a few weeks ago and it's now my primary method of redditing. The only thing I don't like is the menu at the bottom of the screen, I wish it could be moved to the top or had a small button that we could choose to have in the corner of the screen we prefer. This button would hide the menu and then bring it out again if we needed to use it. I often scroll through Reddit and accidentally click a button on the menu, so I have to click the news feed button again. Alien blue has the full screen mode. It really is nice in my opinion. Great app other than that!
