It's amazing how long Reddit existed before rolling out a mobile app. Now I'll finally have something other than Facebook to check compulsively on my phone.
- JustSomeNobody 11y agoWhy you need an app?
- JTon 11y agoJust now? There's a bunch of excellent 3rd party Reddit apps on many mobile platforms. Even BB10 and WP have solid Reddit clients. I don't think you were trying very hard :P
- noxToken 11y agoA mobile app that isn't third party. If something happens with your data or your account through a third party app, Reddit isn't responsible. This hasn't been an issue with Reddit, but it's a risk the end-user accepts when the app isn't "official".
- jimmaswell 11y agoTheir site works fine on mobile, either the desktop version or .compact (you can add .compact to the end of a reddit url to see it). I never really liked the normal mobile version though.
- kec 11y agoAlienBlue was the de facto reddit app for years on iOS, to the point that reddit actually bought it / accqi-hired the dev for it a year or so ago. Unfortunately it's been pretty stagnant since it was acquired, very few bug fixes and afaik no feature enhancements.
