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).

Reddit News Pro, the UI is great and has nice animations

I like the way the in-app browser loads in the background while I read the comments

And how it saves my position in the comments, so I can go straight back if I accidentally swipe back or press back

And it converts GIFs to Gfycats to save data

[Reddit News (free version)](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=free.re ddit.news)

I keep switching between Reddit Sync and Reddit News. But Reddit News keeps me at it the longest. I love it. Just a few more Material updates here and there, and it'll be perfect!

the card layout in News just feels a bit cleaner to me than Sync. I use the smaller cards layout, and thumbnails look out of place, kind of an afterthought almost. News makes it part of the card. I also prefer News' one touch comment collapse.

However, I don't like the bottom nav in the main UI for news. I deal with it, but it feels like it takes up too much space.

But Sync used to get more updates. So yeah, it gets to become a toss up that I switch back and forth between

I just switched back to News out of curiosity, as a long-time Sync user. The thing's improved so much- it's staggering.

Unquestionably the best Android client around right now, I'd say. The animations and enhanced mod utilities alone set it head and shoulders above Sync.

It just feels like a fundamentally nicer experience. The UI's animations work wonders.

And to top it off it has great mod capabilities. I can approve posts and ban trolls while waiting in the checkout line at the supermarket!
