"Relay" is also amazing. I realized just today that I browse HN from mobile Firefox, but reddit from Relay, and I realized that that's because Relay is so much better than any HN mobile app. It really makes a difference.

  Have you tried Materialistic[1] for HN? Apache licensed, also on F-droid[2]. [1] https://github.com/hidroh/materialistic https://github.com/hidroh/materialistic [2] https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.hidroh.materialistic/ https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.hidroh.materialistic/

    Yes, it's what I currently use, but it has some problems (comment formatting shows up weirdly, the built-in browser uses desktop mode and doesn't let me resize sites so many are illegible, etc). It's the best I've found, though.

    I use both Relay for Reddit and Materialistic for HN and they're absolutely brilliant. Didn't take me that long to pay for Relay Pro.

    Materialistic is nice. The only feature I miss with it would be a custom filter. If I could hide automatically stories based on keywords (like "Facebook"), that would be great.

  Another excellent mobile client for Android is Slide for Reddit.

yeah it's almost better than the desktop web version.

Yeah but I don't want to use another app for that. I already have app for browsing Reddit - it's called web browser and I'd like to keep using it rather than downloading yet another app that does basically the same.

  A web browser is an inferior tool for the job of accessing reddit API in a mobile context. Reddit has always been app-first on mobile, web-first on desktop. This has been true since the very first reddit mobile app. If you're okay using your very inferior solution, then please do not come in here to complain about your willfully chosen inferior experience, because the people here will only seek to help you by educating you on the basic ways to use the reddit service...

    > Reddit has always been app-first on mobile No it hasn't, they only released the official reddit app in 2016. Reddit bought alien blue in 2014 but even that was only available on iOS

      >No it hasn't, they only released the official reddit app in 2016. Reddit bought alien blue in 2014 but even that was only available on iOS ?? Are you confusing the reddit API with the official crap reddit app? It's okay to be ignorant about reddit, but your fake correction borne out of ignorance is weird and misplaced. Alien Blue development began when the first official iOS App Store debuted in 2010, and was released shortly there after https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_Blue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_Blue The reddit apps for Android came out around the same time frame. So the reddit apps for iOS/Android came out when the app stores came out. For nearly as long as we've had smartphones, we've had reddit API and third party apps. That's the entire history of reddit mobile: API + third party apps. Anyone with any knowledge of reddit knows that their strategy for mobile was API+third party apps for the majority of their history, and their recent first party apps are ignored and suck.

I go with Redreader. It may lack some niceties, but i find it gets the job done and is open source (and was originally built to cache sub-reddits).
