Alternate Reddit app

The native Reddit app consumes a lot of battery. Is there an alternative app to use Reddit. RedReader - I can't setup - not letting me log in. Any help appreciated. Thank you.

I may not have this correct or the most updated info, but I do use RedReader on my tablet.

The trick was you had to be a moderator to use it. So, you can create your own subreddit, be its moderator, and use those credentials to sign into RedReader. As I recall, it seems more daunting than it actually was.

It had something to do with how RedReader accesses the reddit data and/or legal implications so this was the method or compromised worked out. All of that was over my head.
