Reddit: The Official App- screenshot thumbnail

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...

Pretty good! I absolutely love the clean look of this app. My only complaint is that it crashes a lot, at least once or twice every time I use it. This might be because I have an older phone though (Galaxy S3). Besides crashing, I really like this app!

Random shutdowns are annoying This app has a great user interface and is simple to use. The random "unfortunately reddit has stopped working" instances are annoying since it makes it difficult to find the post you were attempting to read when it happens

Glad I stuck with it! For browsing Reddit on mobile I used to use Reddit is Fun. Whe the official app launched I got it and was annoyed with a few of the bugs, bit nothing that was a complete deal breaker for me. Been using it ever since and the Reddit team has been great about updating the app and listening to use feedback. If you're going to browse Reddit on mobile, definitely get the official app!

Nice aggregator There are some quirks like dropping back to My Feed instead of staying on the sub that you are following. Also wish it would sense your connection and size the images accordingly. Overall though no major issues on Samsung S7/Tab S2

Bugs in external links in community section I love the app except for when I try to access links that are in the community info section of a subreddit. If I attempt to tap a link, the whole app freezes up. If I try to go back afterwards, there's nothing but a black screen and I have to force close and restart the app. No amount of memory freeing or cache cleaning has resolved this issue for me :(

Surprisingly alright The only thing I miss from third-party apps is reddit tv (yeah, I know they killed it on web as well so I know they will never give it back) and usable comments. The app will be stellar if the following kinks can be fixed. Comment markup helper and/or preview would be a nice thing to have. And pressing on a comment in the profile should scroll you to the comment, not just leave you at the beginning of the thread. Otherwise, a nice app that adheres to material design guidelines and has a dark theme.

Works Great as Mobile Reddit It works perfectly to view posts on my fav subreddits. The only problem is that it doesnt offer as many formatting options on posts. Like larger fonts, coloured text, etc.

OLDGREGG315 August 25, 2016

Great App For a Great Community Reddit is perfect for every mood you could possibly be in. Want an educated discussion on the possibility of advanced alien life? Reddit has you covered, want to compare and contrast Dad jokes and shower thoughts? Reddit has you covered, want to have somewhere to get feedback on your new idea for a novel or invention? again Reddit has you covered. App runs the site fine with minimal crashes so far.

Kevin Ard August 24, 2016

REDDIT is great. the app? eh. The app has quite a few shortcomings and things like that. I'm sure they'll be polished in time - will re-review then :)

Cole McBee August 24, 2016

Competent with a few issues Works for the most part. Only issue is when scrolling whatever video thumbnail pops up first is the video thumbnail for each on thereafter. I actually have to click on the videos to get the correct thumbnail.

Hilary Deskins August 24, 2016

The news I want in my own way Appreciate choosing my own news feeds. Time wasted searching through unwanted stories has been cut down to nothing. LOVE Redditt

MeowBitch August 25, 2016

Urgh The commets section in the new update refuses to load. You were fine before Reddit, stop messing things up or I'm sticking to web

Richard Bumgarner August 25, 2016

Keep It Simple Stupid I love this app for it's simplicity. It shows me what I want to see, and doesn't what I don't. Thank you, Reddit.

Shane Fugler August 24, 2016

More fun than the news, more informative than the media. A few minutes here and there can tell you episodes more about the world than the media can in an hour long show.

Benjamin Morrison August 24, 2016

Crashed Good except 2 things. 1. Crashes a lot. 2. Doesn't have notifications on post activities (ie replies, votes, favorites)

Brian Barclay August 25, 2016

Could be better. I really wish that there was a better way to see the context of your comments with this app. Almost impossible to have a discussion through the app only.

Michael Lowy August 25, 2016

Going back to reddit is fun The official app just doesn't do it for me. You can't always directly open images which is a huge feature.

eyl Kll August 24, 2016

Commenting takes a long time to load Sometimes it doesn't even load at all.

Rory PB August 25, 2016

The 💣 Used to use boost, reddit sync, but the official app actually looks 10 times nicer. Better features too

john hayman August 24, 2016

Crashes too often I enjoy the interface and it is pretty quick but it crashes often for me, at least twice a day

Jacob Ian Matthews August 25, 2016

When scrolling down after the red + floating button disappears, if you press in a certain spot in the right bottom corner you can still open the "Post a link" form. Bit of an annoying bug because when trying to press the upvote button sometimes it'll accidentally open the Post a link page.

Vincent Martinez August 24, 2016

It's Reddit How do you even mess that up? It works fine.

August 25, 2016

Exactly what I expected I want to read quickly through recent posts in my subreddits while I am in a bus or whatever. For this purpose, the app is exactly what I need. Seems to use only a small amount of my mobile networking cap, great!

Aaron Nako August 25, 2016

Great app A few problems with links on my note 4 but it works real smoothe

Andrew Aguirre August 25, 2016

4 stars because it's lightweight and intuitive however it still crashes more than say my tumblr app, which is weird because there's so much more data/media on tumblr.

Scott Tobin August 25, 2016

Crashing It crashes a fair bit once I scroll through more content. But other than that it gets the job done.

Sarah Khan August 25, 2016

Still not as good as Relay It's getting better but it still crashes.

Jacob Hart August 25, 2016

Very easy to use, only complaint is that it will time out every now and again and sends you back to the top of the home page.

Tristan Segovia August 25, 2016

Not Perfect A bit buggy at times, but great.

jmanclovis August 25, 2016

Let down Not as good as some 3rd party reddit apps

Robert Henderson August 25, 2016

Good, but It often loads the same video under other threads. So instead of auto viewing you need to click to see what is actually there.

Cam Herringshaw August 24, 2016

Would be nice if links from one post to another would open up as a new post in the app, rather than as a non-mobile web page. Other than that, the app is okay.

Peter Em August 25, 2016

Damn you hind leg-standing cat giffies!

Andrej Naricyn August 25, 2016

Great App with minor glitches Overall pretty good with minor glitches and occasional crashes.

Shelby Runyon August 25, 2016

Reddit is awesome! Absolutely love it. Fun and information paradise. Along with everything you can imagine. Be prepared if you are going to make a comment or post.
