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

*update:I'm unable to log into the app. I've tried clearing cache, reinstalling the app,etc. For the past few months, I've had more and more trouble getting things to load. Most of the time I have to refresh a page 5 or 6 time before it shows comments. I get "failed to load comments" more often than not. Sometimes the main page fails to load things to and I have to refresh several times.,

Great app but most recent update isn't recognizing my current subscription and restore purchase doesn't work as well as clearing the cache. I don't want to buy it twice. And because I don't have it logged in all the stuff I have saved is local and not on an account. There should be a way to export settings and saved subreddits so that if there is ever an issue you can restore from backup like "infinity for reddit" has.

Still the best Reddit app out there but there is an issue with typing, specifically using backspace, where it won't register until you tap back into the comment box. This has been an issue for months and has been reported as a bug on the official subreddit and has not received any type of response. I've noticed that there really isn't a whole lot of engagement from the developer lately on bug related posts which is a bit disheartening. Hope this gets cleared up.
