Alien Blue was better
I miss Alien Blue, and I can see that this app is trying to be like it, but it's failing. There were a lot of little things about AB that made the mobile experience enjoyable. I was able to customize the way I use the app, from having the voting poll on the side of the comment (instead of having to click the comment to reveal it), different theme colors besides day and night, as well as text sizes and other customizes for comments. I miss being able to hold down over an image on the front page and it loading for me if it's an imgur link. It was nice not having to click to view everything if I didn't want to, especially for gifs since I have to click again for the app to open the imgur page of the gif, then click the actual gif so it starts to load. Too much just to view a simple gif. Also, when viewing imgur links of photos in comments, I have to click the link for it to load on a different screen, AB just had a drop down image view so I could continue viewing the image and the rest of the comments without interruption. Not only that, but it doesn't have an accurate tally on my karma, it's about 500 off. I just want this app to be more like Alien Blue because that's what made me enjoy Reddit more than using it on a browser. Everything about it was clean and simple. I was more than happy to upgrade to pro to support the app and all its wonderfulness. Make this app better instead of trying to make it "original."
This
I had actually just signed up to Reddit a few days before this app launched. Visiting the website on my phone was a terrible way of navigating the site. After finding AlienBlue, it made Reddit instantly better, but I knew it was only a temporary app. Luckily with the official app debuting only a few days later, it quickly became my favorite. They've found a way to personalize the site, without being genuinely terrible like Twitter or FB. After using this app daily for a month now, it's solid, there's just design problems that made this slowly lose my interest.
Pictures are terrible to interact with in anyway you were hoping to. But .gifs are hands down the most painful, as well as the search button being terrible to locate, I have to re-find it every single time. Lack of customization is tolerable, it's just a small choice that goes a long way, instead of being locked into night mode because it's the best setting. There's definitely work to be done until this app is perfect, but have faith, Reddit will always get it right on the money.
Solid successor to Alien Blue, but lacks features
It's finally here! The long awaited official Reddit app for iOS has landed, and for the most part, it's great. They really cleaned up the interface and put the most used features front and center. More importantly, all of the bugs that plagued Alien Blue towards the end of its life have been fixed (ex: subreddits not syncing, login errors, pictures not loading).
But there's still work to be done. The default browsing view is horribly inefficient and shouldn't be the default. There is a compact view available that is better but still takes up a bit too much space for each link IMO. Also, viewing photos and GIFs is not streamlined like it was in Alien Blue. For example, it takes about 3 taps to pull up a GIF on Imgur and actually play it. And finally, this app is lacking in the customization that Alien Blue provided so well. In a way, the simplified interface is great, but I think they should slowly work towards adding the most desired custom features back in.
