I'm incredibly proud of the team: we've shipped reddit for iOS and Reddit for Android! GET IT. Let me know what you think. It's so fast, you'll get whiplash. ⬆

@alexisohanian The app looks great! Congrats on the launch. The new app has already replaced Alien Blue and Narwhal on my homescreen. So far the only feature I think is missing is Peak and Pop for images and links. Is there a beta program I can join to provide ongoing feedback? I'd like to test upcoming feature enhancements, if possible.
Alexis Ohanian
@maniesco Thank you! Subscribe to https://www.reddit.com/r/beta to be first to know. We're pretty close to our cap for mobile testing.

@alexisohanian Will you be adding any of the removed features from AlienBlue? as right now this app feels like it is designed at new comers / general users, whilst AlienBlue did so much more, like for example: 🔻The removal of casual subscriptions (your design is very suited for multiple subscription folders with labels as well) 🔻Gallery View was great, and now gone. 🔻Why don't we have the option to view a picture straight away rather then go through comments 🔻iPad app 🔻Getting to other subreddits, (why can't i rearrange the order, the whole process of changing a subreddit feels slow) 🔻History tab doesn't use the same check for viewing pref as rest of the app (thats a bug not something alien blue did) Theres lots more that has been removed, and personally, means I can't use your app, as it changes my flow of using reddit, will any of these features be added into the official app? Edit: 🔻Can't search on a subreddit, thats a massive mistake,

@alexisohanian Love so many things about this so far. Any plans for the following features? - Automatic playing/loading of GIFs (under a certain size) so I don't have to click out to third-party sites. - 3D Touch to preview content in compact view. Would also be cool to use peek & pop to view content like GIFs in comments without navigating away from the page. - Ability to organize the subreddits to which I'm subscribed. Congrats on the new app!

@alexisohanian Recently I've been using @getnarwhal and I've loved it. Hopefully this app is even better 😊 📲

Why is it US only still?
Ashley Higgins
@haroenv We're just starting out in the US, UK, Canada and Australia. Other countries will follow shortly, they just require a little more diligence.

@ahiggz okay, I hope it'll be global quickly ☺️
Alex Flores
@ahiggz @haroenv thanks <3

@haroenv @ahiggz but will we still be able to take advantage of the gold offer?

@ahiggz @haroenv Please add India. 😥

I can only say: Finally! I love reddit and using third apps it's not the same experience. Thanks for te official app.
Ashley Higgins
@gabrielreynard Thank you!! Hope ours can be your daily driver for many years to come.
Barron Roth
@gabrielreynard Have to respectfully disagree, on Android at least. Third-party apps are incredibly impressive, even with their tiny teams. I personally use Sync for Reddit, and it's design plus functionality is unmatched, even by this official version.
Gabriel Reynard
@iambarronroth I understand you, they are pretty good app's, but nothing compares to a official version. AMA's app is a prove for that, third-party apps where not as good as the official one. And I have a lot of expectation about this one, I think reddit will "up-level" with this, just like imgur did.
Yann
@gabrielreynard "using third apps is not the same experience" I think that's exactly what made reddit great so far. Tons of third party apps. Granted there are a lot rubbish ones (especially on Android). I've been using Reddit News (now Relay) on Android for ages and it's perfect. The dev is incredible and keeps adding really useful features. I doubt an official app can keep up with that. Just have a look at @alextrott_ 's comment above. However I'll give it a go later and report back!
Gabriel Reynard
@yannschaub I understand, it's good to have third party apps, it shows how community is engaged with the product. My point is: everything that is official is official, they run the website and are the only ones who can improve to the maximum their service. All of others are just a step product.

Ha! Just caught the announcement video, voiced by Tommy Chong:
Devin Soni
Very clean and snappy, but is there any way to get a more compact view than the "compact" option? Alien Blue fit a few more submissions in the same amount of space because this uses a lot of whitespace for the comments/upvotes bar underneath the titles.
Ashley Higgins
@devin_soni We're looking into this! We can do more to optimize this view for showing the most content possible.
Devin Soni
@ahiggz Good to hear!
Jack Slade
@ahiggz @devin_soni Just needs to replicate the alien blue compact feed!
Adam
Oh wow - this is AWESOME! :)
Alexis Ohanian
@ajm5338 YOU'RE AWESOME, ADAM. Thanks for all the upvotes.
Chase
I've been beta testing the app and am a huge fan. Very well done! Excited to see its release!
Alexis Ohanian
@billchase2 Thank you for beta-testing, Chase! Glad you're enjoying it -- the entire company has come together so well to get this done.
Ashley Higgins
@billchase2 Thanks for beta testing! Those groups have been incredibly helpful in the development process so far. Hope you'll stay on!
Chase
@alexisohanian Agreed! Congratulations!
Chase
@ahiggz I definitely plan to stay on. Looking forward to helping with future releases!
Ryan Hoover
Nice! Added to the Reddit topic. 😊 QQ: Your first official mobile app, Ask Me Anything, launched just over a year ago but is no longer available. Why'd you kill it?
Ashley Higgins
@rrhoover Thanks! We wanted to focus our efforts on making one app really, really great, rather than splitting efforts over multiple apps. Especially for AMAs, which are a core part of the Reddit experience.
Austin Hay
@alexisohanian @ahiggz This is so amazing. by far the best app that I'll ever have on my phone. @illustriousalex and I have been waiting for this. Congrats on the launch! Also re @ajm5338 There is one way I think this could get even more awesome... https://www.reddit.com/r/general...
Adam
@austinahay @alexisohanian @ahiggz @illustriousalex haha that is AWESOME! bet you can't build it in <5 minutes... ;)
Adam
@austinahay wow. I owe you a burrito.
Alexis Ohanian
@austinahay @ahiggz @illustriousalex @ajm5338 Austin you are everything. Thank you! I'll pay for that burrito you owe @ajm5338. PM me on Reddit (u/kn0thing)
Gilles Bertaux
Y u no deploy outside the US?? Been struggling with all the unofficial clients out there. Argh.
Alexis Ohanian
@gillesbertaux Gah. Sorry, that reply was for Chase. We're now available in the US, Canada, UK, and Australia. Launching apps in other countries requires a little bit more diligence than just making a website available globally, but we're planning on getting it out everywhere.
Gilles Bertaux
@alexisohanian I'd be happy to test it. Btw, I did not mention - that's why my previous comment might appear a bit harsh, but it looks real damn good! Hence the "frustration".
Alexis Ohanian
@gillesbertaux I feel you. All good.
Ashley Higgins
@gillesbertaux Coming soon!
