Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian will “appcast” the new Reddit app at 5pm PT

It means Alexis is a personal investor in "Kamcord" which is like twitch for your phone. If you're interested in watching Clash of Clans and the messages someone has on their Kik, then they've got a video stream for you.

So since this app is obviously less feature filled than the apps that it intends to replace (thinking alien blue)... what are people using as their new reddit app?

I've been trying to adjust to Narwhal, but its not quite sticking with me for some reason. Suggestions?

IMO it has nothing on Alien Blue and they've now pulled Alien Blue from the app store, it's quite sad really.

It feels like going from a well designed, highly configurable application that really took UX into account to an app that feels like a web frame and wants you to use the website instead.

I'm sticking with Alien Blue at the moment, as I mentioned in another comment the new app doesn't even come close IMO and I'm sure they'll give the old line of 'we're working hard to improve it every day, adding new features etc... etc...' - but Alien Blue wasn't broken - it has been one of the best designed apps on my phones over the years. Why replace something people rated so highly with something half assed and piecemeal?
