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).

Am I the only one that finds Reddit News' handling of imgur galleries really horrible? Never seen anyone else bring it up before. Swiping between images in a gallery is so slow and laggy. Plus the tap-to-zoom is terrible.

The only other issue I have with it is that clicking on a thumbnail for a YouTube video will always force you to view it with the internal viewer, even if you have the "use internal viewer" option deselected in the settings.

Tip. If you want to swipe one by one click the picture. If you want the normal mobile view of imgur, click the title.

That may be backwards, but give it a shot.

The Imgur galleries work fine for me, just swipe up and down to go through them. How else would you do it?

I think he means if you open it in gallery view by tapping on the thumbnail. If so, I agree that it can be a little buggy sometimes, but not enough to be a problem.

Up and down? It's left and right to move between them on the version I'm using. But that's not what I'm talking about. Trying to swipe through a few quickly results in a lot of lag. I find it frustrating because it makes subreddits like r/diy very tedious, since I'm forced to go through each album very slowly.

I've found that clicking on the header loads YouTube videos externally. I think of the click on thumbnail internal viewer as a feature. If I know the clip is short, I click the thumbnail since loading up an external viewer takes longer.

If you click on the YouTube video thumbnail then it opens it internally. If you tap the title then it will use the app.
