About this app

First released in 2011, Relay has been consistently developed over the past decade by the same third party developer.

Relay has been a subscription-based app since since September 2023 when Reddit introduced a monthly fee for 3rd party developers to access its API.

There are multiple price plans to choose from depending on your usage. More than 75% of Relay's users pay (USD) 1$ or 2$ dollars per month for a beautiful, ad-free experience with no trackers and a pure Frontpage made up of only the subreddits you subscribe to.



Highlights:

• Relay's design closely follows Google's 'Material You' standards giving you the same color palette as the rest of your phone, including night mode and an OLED blackout theme.
• Animations are sprinkled throughout the app and are based on physical springs which makes them much smoother then traditional Android animations.
• Links and comments load at the same time; a simple swipe switches between them.
• Comprehensive Moderator features (distinguish, sticky posts, ban users etc)
• Swipe to vote
• Rich text editor
• Advanced comment navigation - next/previous thread, find words, IAMA and more!
• Multiple accounts supported
• Subreddit and key word filtering available
• Extensive customisation options including font style and size, left-handed viewing.

Relay for reddit is a time-honored way to browse the news and entertainment of the hour. Whether you're a casual 'lurker', power user, or even a moderator, Relay's design makes reddit viewing a pleasure.

Ratings and reviews

EDIT: It was still acting the same but after the third reinstall and update notification, it seems to be working again. Thank you for taking the time to troubleshoot and help! ~~~~~ It's a good app, but since charging money, it acts like I haven't paid every time my subscription renews, yet the money has charged my account. It won't let me do anything and I couldn't find a way to contact the dev.

Unable to set user flair on any sub using this app. No flair means automatic blocking on multiple subs. I've tried and failed for literally YEARS that I've been a paid subscriber. I'm now blocked from about a dozen subs that are highly relevant to me. I can't take it anymore, I had to say something. I click every link, I read every wiki, I examine every sidebar, I open every menu. For something I pay for! So be warned, you'll also be blocked while using this app. I'm on Android.

Better than the others. I was looking for an ad free app and have no problem paying for the pro! I wish that I could upvote, downvote, or reply to comments without having to swipe. I'd rather have small icons like the reddit app. Also wish I could have the option to see avatars. Also, is there a way to get rid of the picture and video tags? They seem so unnecessary - even if they are tiny. Overall, this is the best option for an ad free experience without paying monthly for Reddit.
