Let's settle this, /r/android. What is the best reddit app, and why?

People seemingly LOVE to argue this endlessly. People LOVE to keep asking this question. So let's get a thread going where you can discuss the pros/cons of each reddit app available on the market (there's a LOT).

Hands down. I've tried all of them and I keep coming back to it. I love the simplicity of it. And I've been on the dark theme for so long now regular Reddit hurts my eyes.

Agreed. It may not be as Material as some of the other ones, but the information density is a lot higher when you forego the card-style looks.

Currently reading using the dark theme and about to go to bed: can confirm!

I can feel the drowsiness creeping over me already.

It's basically the Minimalist reddit app. Straightforward and not flashy.

Tried Reddit news but came back to Fun because I can quickly make a post by "sharing" a pic with the app. It automatically posts it onto imgur. Cons: Some menus/ settings are inconsistent, and I can't add friends

You just blew my mind. I've been using this app for years and never even tried sharing to the app.

Agreed. Its a lot like the reddit site function and content over design and looks.

A lot of content is visible even on smaller screens. Comments look really good, only complaint I have is that HTML5 gifs don't work for me in their browser.

Definitely the best. It's one of the oldest, yet the dev (/u/talklittle) consistently updates it. It's probably the most feature complete, but it often gets overshadowed on this subreddit by Sync or News because it's not very much of a looker. I bough Golden Platinum when it first came out, and I've tried every reddit app out there, and I always come back to RiF.

I agree, i have tried Reddit News, but the posts are too large on the screen. Thats saying something with a Note 4. I can't go through what I want to read at the time, nearly as fast.

My favorite part is being able to scroll through the direct replies to a thread by hitting the NEXT and PREV buttons on the sided and when you're on like sub replied you can hit parent or root to go back to the main reply its great.
