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...

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.

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.

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

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

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.
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.
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"
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
- App keeps crashing, updated phone fully, update app fully. - when an image has been opened and closed for the first time, the second time all I get is a loading screen. - interface looks nicer, but prefer working version.
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.
It's an easy app to use but unfortunately a recent update has removed the collapse thread shortcut to a small menu for no reason at all. Very annoying.
Some stability issues and it's annoying that you can't see a preview of links in text - I'd like to know if I'm going to a video an image or a Web page before I click through, but all in all it's a nice enough app
App is good but I always have a problem with the search bar. Whenever I search something it never shows the result in first try. Sometimes I have to close and open app for like 5 times. Otherwise the app is awesome. Pleas try to fix this search bar issue.
Good app made worse. Recent update reduced the usability. I used to love ability to close images with a tap. Also filter icon moved down, wasting the space on screen
Bring back tap to close the post. I now have to tap on a specific button to close an image. And now after the latest patch I can't browse for more than ten minutes without it crashing
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 latest update removed the ability to easily refresh the content I was seeing. It also, yet again, broke my ability to easily see replies to my comments... and this is the official app. QA. Learn it.
The content of reddit is awesome, but the UI needs a lot of work, especially on the app. Up vote values are inconsistent, profile customoziation is buggy, everything takes a few too many clicks than it should.
Thanks for mod features. Lose the popular tab. Most useless and intrusive feature. Tabs within tabs is always a bad idea.
The app works as intended but there a few issues with user interface. It simply is smooth in certain areas. Finding comment replies can be a real pain when it hlgets buried in the comment section.
I like the content of the app and it's wide range of subjects. I don't like the fact that it auto-subscribed me to a bunch of threads I didn't ask for and now i have to go through each individual r/whatever thread to unsubscribe. Why not have a button in the Communities tab that let's you unsubscribe from that thread without having to enter it first? Also why not have a "remove a thread from your community list" once you've unsubscribed from one? 2 tabs would be better; one for what you are subscribed to and another for available subscriptions would be much less annoying
App has very delayed pics and vids at times. Not sure if its server congestion or android/iOS or the app in general. But Reddit is great.
Uh.. This update maked the app a lot slower and and uglier.. I liked the old UI and button positioning but now they seem cut out and are harder to click.. Please fix
There was a build that allowed you to press the Reddit icon and jumped to the top of the screen can we have that feature back please. Other than that good job!
Updated 4/20/17: The app is much more streamlined now and has a lot more useful features. I have not had the app crash on me once like I did when I initially reviewed this app a few months ago. Anyone who regularly browses Reddit won't go wrong with using this app.
Great app with a few flaws. It doesnt sync perfect with the desktop Version for example (messages Read on app are still unopened in desktop). Also copying text of a comment is almost impossible.
Bugs, bugs and more bugs!! The search function is all messed up and since the new update, I can't even PM anyone! So so stupid
How, pray tell, do I quickly refresh/go back to the top of the home/popular pages? Also, it REALLY LIKES TO CRASH.
