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 or more NSFW humor, 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...

Bring back a good one-hand swipe gesture framework. I want a way to easily click into posts, read it or look at a picture, and then click the photo to close it out, followed by a swipe to get back to the list. Right now I have to reach all the way across the screen to tap either an X or the OS Back button. Please fix.
I love reddit but the recent update has made it more inconvenient to see entire pictures while scrolling. There are just a few tweaks that could make it great. Allow for the full image to appear while scrolling, bring back the single tap to exit the larger image, and have image only scrolling like Alien Blue had.

First off the app keeps crashing multiple times a day. New layout is alright but still don't like having to long press to collapse comments. Find it impossible to actually click on the user's name on their post to see their profile, which is important with subreddits like nosleep when trying to check if a new update has been posted. Have only once successfully managed to click their username.

Frequent layout updates that change the way you use the app slightly. This could be a positive or a negative, but my muscle memory has to adjust every time a layout change hits. Also, the app does not support splitscreen in Nougat, which is a shame because I would love to watch YouTube videos while I browse Reddit.

This app needs some pretty serious improvements to put it on par with even the free versions of several of the third party reddit apps. Some things, like color coded thread markers, are unnecessary but very nice. Others, like markup buttons when replying and thread skip buttons when viewing the comments, are basically necessary to how I use reddit on mobile. More importantly, this app stutters and lags on last year's top end hardware, which really shouldn't be the case.

Please go back to the way it was before this update where when you clicked into an image to see it all you could just click anywhere and it would go out of it but now i have to use the back button on the bottom of my phone. Also i used to have the iOS app and having the button in bottom right corner make it go to the next comment was so much better than having it as a reply button on android.

Lost one star for recent update. Clicking a picture opens a full screen version, but now clicking again doesn't close it. Makes opening every image very annoying. The UI was substantially less obtrusive before. Images also take longer to load now than before.
Wasn't a redditor til i got the app. It's great, no issues with the ui. I do, however, have issues with the massive amounts of data browsing reddit consumes! Never had problems with it before the most recent update (1.5gb/month was perfectly sufficient before). Consumed 300mb within the first 15 minutes. This makes me sad. :(
The newest update has screwed it up. There are so many bugs like when I try to expand a thread it sends me to the top. When I look at replies it sends me to the top. This app is pretty much unusable now. Shouldn't have changed it 4 stars for the metas
Great app, easy to use overall. 2 main issues for me, however. 1. Subscription to subreddits always seems to need an app restart to show on my subscription list, but not too annoying. 2. Before saving images could be done by tapping a card and then long pressing to save, but now tapping a card now brings up a new UI with the save feature in the top right, which is inconvenient to reach. Again, not the end of the world, but this is slightly more annoying. (Not sure if this is an Android update issue on my phone (OnePlus 3)). Overall very good app, would recommend.
Tapping the username on a post under the subreddit isn't opening the user profile. Even when frustrated after 5-10 real hard taps still isn't opening user profiles... idk y... Night theme is way too dark for me Great performance improvement, app runs very smooth, and loads everything much faster
Hey look! The new image feature is the worst it's been yet. If you view an image more than once by clicking its thumbnail, it fails to load! Not to mention the wonderful feature that doesn't let you exit images upon a single click. Great!
The search function takes a long time to load results (if it even will) and since the recent update it keeps getting a glitch when I open pictures and freezing my phone. Still love the content.
Used to be great but it's ruined in the most recent update. Can no longer zoom in on an image from the news feed and the tap it again to zoom out; instead you need to use an invisible button. Second, the button to refresh the news feed has gone, so instead you have to scroll up through everything you've just read to refresh. Rubbish
Collapsing comments can now only be done through the comment's menu, and sometimes that doesn't even work. There's no easy way to jump to the top of my front page?? Completely unnecessary changes.
Newest update doesn't hold your position in the feed anymore and instead starts back at the top without updating. So far has locked up and crashed 5+ times after a few minutes of use. Shows content well enough but the newest update has made it a pain.
This app eats way more data than any other app on my phone. This app never did this before the last few updates. Are you guys ever going to fix this because I cannot use so much data in your app. You would get 5 stars back if you fixed this issue. Only scrolling for a few seconds and already 40 mbs of data was used. Please fix this
Good application. I very much miss and need an option to open all external links from comment section in external application. In-app browser is a joke and Reddit app is a horrible experience with it! Please fix!
What happened to this app? Please fix whatever is wrong with it! It has been bugging me since the last update. Just bring back the old version. It was cool enough and bearable.
Mobile app could use some work. If you don't get out of the article/subreddit in a certain way it takes you back all the way to the beginning. That is when I just close the app and say screw it. Also, when I go to my comments, it doesnt always take me to my comment in the subreddit (sometimes it does, and it is highlighted). I miss how it was before it updated. Cant simply drag my finger from the top to refresh.
Great app, use it all the time. However, a small gripe I have with this recent update is that I can no longer save a picture to my phone by holding my finger on it when it's in fullscreen. I now have to take screenshots of pictures just to have them on my phone, which kinda sucks.
Was good and generally haven't had many issues but now seem to have lost the ability to be able to save pics from posts. Before you could tap and pic to open it full screen then tap and hold to save the image but no longer able to do that :(
Used to be fine. Now...Lag,lag,lag...Crash, crash, crash. Can I tap that link? Nope. Can I tap to back out of this picture? Not anymore. Can I see comments without having to reload a post two or three times? No? Nearly unusable at this point.
App keeps crashing constantly now. mostly when I try to come out of images. Posts don't always load, then when I come out to try again, it goes to the top of the front page. Not sure why you got rid of the 'tap to go back' either, that was a good feature. 1 star because it was way better and functional before this update.
Im still pretty new to reddit but im already hooked. Reddit is great and the app is great. My only complaint is that finding my post history is a chore, but dont let this extensive clarification distract you from the fact that, in 1998, the Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell in a Cell and plummeted 16ft through an announcer's table.
Awesome app, but 1 problem, i usually cant watch gifs that dont redirect you to another page. In other words i cant view gifs that play directly off the app. This could be due to my OS software (that i cant update for some reason) but everything else is perfect. Keep up the good work reddit inc
This app WAS good, but with the newest updated it has gotten a lot more laggy and unresponsive. Frequent crashes, lagging while scrolling down big groups of text, and the new photo/gif viewer is a bit clunkier. I do appreciate the easier to reach download, comment, and share buttons though. Fix this version.
I love the app! But there has been a recent development that prevents you from going directly to comment responses. When you click on the comment, it should take you directly to it. Instead, it takes you to the post, and you have to sift through hundreds or thousands of comments to get to the right comment thread. Also, any time you click "view more", it scrolls all the way back to the original post. It is maddening. Hopefully it's just a temporary bug that gets fixed.
Buggy App, love reddit. Too bad the official app crashes all the time :/ it also has trouble loading images...which is most of reddit content
The latest update's UI is terrible. The "Home" and "Popular" sections are just redundant. Also the app crashes every time and doesn't load pictures/gifs/videos.. Please revert it to its original version. Thank you.
It's rare I do mobile review but I'm rather disappointed by the app itself. As for browsing it's actually very good, I have very little complaints as I primarily use a different app to browse reddit images (though that picture only browsing would be nice in one app). The main thing I dislike is a the lack of notification of new messages and comments, I have to just endlessly check my inbox for replies, which is sorted in a weird way. No ability for push notification really sucks too.
This really is the front page of the internet, this app gets the information,humourous stuff,news,political stuff the first. But why? Because this app has grown alot of users since the official webpage has been the worlds most used one.I salute reddit "THE FRONT PAGE OF THE INTERNET"
I love Reddit and this app is a good way to access it. The UX has improved a lot in the recent t update. The only reason I deducted a star is because the comments stop loading after the process has been open for awhile. Error messages related to timeouts appear. Killing and relaunching the process address it. I've experienced this on multiple devices, networks and versions. The problem is I, but appears to only happen after the process has been launched for awhile.
The more recent updates take a long time to load any stories. The app is almost unusable due to this lag. Previously, the app worked well for me.
The app is decent and makes it easy to browse reddit. One thing I don't like is how quickly it refreshes. As you slide down the screen stories you just passed by repopulate so you constantly see the same content
New UI is clunky. Posts take up too much space. Settings in toggles get stuck when switching accounts. New update is a big steo backwards.
I've been a long time user of this app and I used second party apps to browse Reddit before this one was around. Overall, I love this app and the continuous updates are always beneficial and make the app easier to use. As I've stated previously, very satisfied
Wish they hadn't gotten rid of the simply clicking out of a full screen image rather than hitting the back button. I also am unable to go straight to my comment when I comment on askReddit, or any replies to my comments there. I imagine it has something to do with the amount of comments in those threads.
Clicking to close the picture don't close it, swiping neither, the only way to close it is clicking one time then using the back arrow at the top, and this is awful. Also, cannot pin favorites subs or easily find them because there's no alphabetical separation.
When it works it's my favorite app. But periodically it will not load pictures or links when clicked on. The updates usually fix this problem. Overall it's reddit so it's solid.
