The official Reddit app for Android is pretty feature poor so far. It only offers a default theme and a dark theme. It only offers a default layout and a compact layout. No customization beyond that. No option to always view links in external browser and Imgur links aren't opened in the Imgur app (etc for other sites). It's nice that they've finally released an official app, but to use this instead of Bacon Reader /…

Not sure. Today, I was installing all your mentioned Reddit clients and deinstalling them right afterwards. While the first impression is good and they seem to offer lots of features they lack one important thing (at least the free versions)—to save a sub in a favorite list which is easy to access.

Your failure here is not that you are not making it available, but that you failed to communicate this limit in ability. The flow for me was "hey neat", click link to reddit page , "ok, this looks good", click link to google play store , click green Install button , 'none of your devices are compatible', "what in the ever-loving ...?", go to hn comments , "oh goddamn, not again". That could've been MUCH shorter and M…
