I've been using http://pics.fefoo.com for a long time for the same purpose.

Very nicely made. My only criticism is the purple progress bar- what's the point of it? I thought I was going to run out of images when it filled up, but it just kept going. Is that filling an indication that it's going to yesterday's posts? It feels unneeded, it's distracting.

I guess that's the only kind of feedback on the page telling the user how many images are remaining, albeit wrong.

It's probably worth noting that in other parts of the English speaking world, the word "mong" is derogatory and offensive. I'm not sure if "MongOut" is a derivative of MongoDB, but if you're aiming at a maintream global audience you might want to consider the sensitivities.

Mongout only pawn in game of life ...

I like this a lot. It's very difficult to hit the arrow buttons on an iPhone, though. An alternative navigation method or larger hit areas would be helpful.

I really like this idea and the simplicity of it! Great work, and can't wait to see what future iterations bring!

I love the interface. It would be great if you could add the ability to login, upvote/downvote (near the comments icon). Realtime reddit content would be great.

I've been using Flipboard[1] on the iPad to read pic heavy subreddits that I don't necessarily want to see everything from but like to browse from time to time. Yahoo pipes[2] turns the subreddit's top stories .json representation into an RSS feed, and then Twitterfeed[3] posts that RSS feed to a custom twitter account which I can then follow on Flipboard. I got this setup from http://miguelrios.org/reddit-in-flipboa…

Don't know if this will help at all, but you can append .rss/.json/ to any reddit URL. e.g:

http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/.rss http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/.json
