Reader for reddit (BETA)
Free AppAbout Reader for reddit (BETA)
Reader is an unofficial client for the popular sharing website reddit.com, where users can vote on content submitted by other users that share interesting news, funny images, opinions, and thoughts. While an account is not required to browse reddit, several features do require one and it is recommended to log in with the application.
This client is currently in its BETA stage, with several missing features and bugs that still need to be fixed. The layout and design is currently only for phone-sized devices. It will not display properly on a tablet or anything larger. If you decide to download this app, please help out by reporting bugs and sending suggestions to me at mail@winsonchiu.com. Thank you.
This project is open source and is, and always will be, free, with no advertisements.
Features:
• Grid and list UIs to choose from
• Support for basic user features like voting, submitting, replying
• Easy viewing of Imgur, Gfycat, and YouTube
• Several fluid Material Design elements with eventually more to come
• Mail notifications
• Searching for subreddits and links
• Carefully designed and optimized UI and UX
Permissions
• Full network access - Needed to connect to internet
• Read, modify, and delete storage contents - Used for caching and storing images the user decides to download
• Detect boot completed - Used to check inbox for messages on device boot
• Accounts - Used to sync up reddit accounts with Android framework and handle logging in

Text is too small, and can't change the size of it on my high-res tablet.

Awesome update. I would really appreciate if you could enable swiping right from a thread so that you can go back to where you came from. Thanks

Not bad, very easy!!! If there a was a way to open up all the comments in a reddit at once or rank articles according to either the largest or smallest amount of comments, in order to find what you were last reading or, better yet, create an option that holds your place on what you were last reading, then it would be phenomenal!!!

This app is amazing - thanks so much for making it! I think the features I would suggest are thumbnails for NSFW posts and a better way to indicate that the posts are NSFW besides just changing the color of the title. I'd also like some sort of scroll velocity where the scroll speed depends on how fast or slow you swipe. Also a way to view saved posts. Having multireddits/categories to organize subreddits would be awesome too. It's still an amazing app as it stands though!

Needs single column layout. Edit, should have been more specific, I would appreciate single column grid UI. On ≤5.2 inch displays it has much better readability with the benefits of the larger images.

I really like the framework of this app. But is there a way to collapse an image after opening it?

Really enjoy this, only thing for me is if I'm watching a video and rotate the screen it restarts. Only a minor problem. Nice job

Really liked the app and its Material Design. Easy to use, got it to work properly within first five minutes of use. Would recommend adding other colors for customization. Awesome app tho!

While this Reddit app may not be too different from others in functionality, it probably has the best interface of any other. Material Design is in full swing here making this Reddit app a must have for anybody out there who has lollipop.

The UI is really good compared to other most popular Reddit client apps on play store. Although it's in beta that means more features yet to arrive. totally excited..
