Leave a comment
Until now, Windows Phone users have had some pretty satisfactory Reddit clients at their disposal. Baconit and InstantReddit exemplify the kind of Reddit apps that have been available in the WP Store in the past. These apps might not be too heavy on features, but are great for everyday use, owing to their neat UI and easy navigation options. With the release of WP8, however, the demands of users have changed to some extent. Since Microsoft has been trying to work towards merging Windows 8 with their mobile platform, a lot of developers have started coming out with apps that are great on your phone, but can also come in handy on your Windows PC or tablet. Baconography is among the first Reddit clients that are available on both Windows Store and the WP Store. The app is perfect for all Reddit users who have very particular preferences regarding subreddits, since Baconography allows them to pin any subreddit to the app’s main screen. The comments view is great in both apps as well. Read More

Upvote Is A Minimal iPhone Reddit Client With A Great, Snappy UI

To be taken seriously, a Reddit client for any platform should support accounts. Apart from this, there are a few other features like search, voting and comments that are considered essential constituents by users of the service. Karma for iOS is a good example of a complete Reddit client since it has all these features, and a lot more. However, if you want a Reddit app that offers every single Reddit feature, you might as well open the Reddit website in Mobile Safari. On a phone, it is perfectly alright for most people to have a lightweight client of a service, if it wraps just the vital elements in a neat interface. Upvote is a Reddit client for iOS that is exactly that. The app isn't capable of doing everything redditers can normally do, but it is more than enough if you are looking for a way to casually browse through your favorite subreddits, vote on posts, and access all the major sections of your personal account.

Despite the presence of the official Reddit app (iReddit) and a few good alternatives in the App Store, iOS doesn’t seem to have as many quality third-party Reddit apps compared to Android. If you like accessing the internet’s front page on your iPhone often, there is finally some good news. Karma is a new Reddit client that packs almost all the features that are available on the web version of the service. You can easily manage your account, follow subreddits, vote on posts, leave your comments and even submit a new post from within Karma quite easily. To make it perfect, the app doesn't come with too many unnecessary features that many people would never require, and has a really simple interface.

RapidReddit Is A Chrome Reddit App That Auto-Hides Visited Links

Once you start Redditing, time can goes by super fast. It would go by even faster if you didn't have to filter out the links you've already clicked and could focus solely on the unvisited blue ones. RapidReddit is a Chrome extension that lets you Reddit faster. The extension basically lets you browse Reddit in a way that every link you click opens in a new tab and at the same time, gets automatically removed from the main page. In addition, you are shown not just the overall karma but also the exact number of upvotes and downvotes for each individual link right on the main page. While it may still appear similar to browsing the Reddit main page itself, it's actually the RapidReddit tab that is showing you the links, and removing the ones that you visit. Read More

Sync Visited Reddit Links & Unviewed Comments Count Between Browsers

Work breaks may involve a quick walk to grab lunch, a short power nap, or a small browsing session on Reddit. The great thing about Reddit is how you can browse it all you want while at, and by the time you get home, there will be new stuff on the front page. The bad thing is that most of the links you viewed earlier won’t have gone too far down the line, but it will be hard to tell which ones you've visited, if you use different computers at home and at work. Synccit for Reddit is a web service that works through a browser extension to sync your visited Reddit links history between browsers and mobile devices and through the 'reddit is fun' Android app. In this post, however, we'll only be focusing on inter-browser syncing. All you need to do is create a free account with the service, add the different devices on which you want your Reddit history to stay synced, install the extensions on the devices, and you’re good to go!

RedditTab is a Mac app available for free in the Mac App Store that runs in the Menu Bar and lets you browse Reddit. You can upvote/downvote submissions if you’re signed in, browse the front page or any of the subreddits, search Reddit, and email any of the posted links to anyone via the Mail app. As far as Reddit apps go, RedditTab is quite basic when it comes to the features it offers, but it’s great for quickly checking the website without having to open it in your browser or any conventional Reddit app (and getting caught by your boss while not working). It works with Mountain Lion’s Notification Center and will alert you when you have a new message. RedditTab does not have its own browser, so links all open in your default web browser. Read More

Reddit is among the most popular websites on the internet right now. It provides users with a platform to share social news and entertainment content in the form of a link, text or an image. Other users of the service can then express their opinion by voting it up or down, and leaving comments. Because of its huge community, it offers a great way to discover new and interesting information, and have a discussion on it with other people having similar interests but vastly varying opinions. Previously, we have covered some great Windows 8 apps such as ReddHub and Snoo that allow you to browse the content posted on reddit. Charming Reddit is another reddit client for Windows 8, but one that focuses on providing a better way to view images shared on the network. Read More

Reeddit Is A Responsive Reddit Web App For Desktop & Mobile Browsers

Dubbed 'The front page of the Internet', Reddit is possibly one of the most popular websites for shared content you will find, but it lacks official desktop clients for all major desktop platforms and mobile websites. It may even seem astounding why there aren't any official apps for the website, as pretty much every borderline-famous web service has rolled out its apps for major platforms by now. Though there is always the developer community that we can rely on to fill the gap. Reeddit is an HTML5-based web app that can serve as excellent Reddit client for multiple platforms. In addition to being based on HTML5, the app also has a responsive design meaning you can use it on any tablet or smartphone with a modern HTML5-supporting web browser. Reeddit does not support Reddit accounts and you will therefore be unable to reply to comments and vote content up or down. Reeddit is essentially a Reddit reader and the interface is designed as such. Read More

As famous a website and social network as Reddit is, it doesn’t have official apps on all major platforms. Redditors who Reddit on desktop mostly use the website but Reditr is an app available for Mac, Windows, Linux and Chrome that will make you forget the website altogether.

Browsing Reddit on Windows 8 is a lot more fun. Windows Store apps, like our previously covered Snoo, Narwhal or ReddHub, provide a snappy Reddit experience. /r/etro is yet another one that has popped up in the Windows Store. I typically like simple and clean applications, but that doesn’t mean any compromise on options. /r/etro apparently, wins in both aspects. The app lets you check your subscribed subreddits, comment on posts, upvote or downvote posts shared by others, and even open a selected post in a web browser. Akin to other Windows Store apps, it can be snapped to the right or left of the screen. In addition, you can browse subreddits without requiring a user account. Read More

Reddit is one of the best ways to share and discover useful content from around the internet. Although the social media site is notorious for allowing controversial content to be shared openly, it’s becoming incredibly popular with each passing day. We've already covered two Modern UI Reddit clients for Windows 8, namely the tile-based Snoo and the aesthetically-pleasing Narwhal, but we found ReddHub for Windows 8 to have a visible edge over the two in terms of speed and convenience. The app lets you browse through and view posts at the same via an elegant two-pane interface. In addition to the usual - signing in to your Reddit account to upvote, downvote and comment on posts - it lets you pin your favorite subreddits to the Windows 8 Start Screen. Read More

Unless you have been a Reddit user for a long time, the service can be a little overwhelming, with so much data presented on its pages. To counter this problem, a slew of Reddit clients are available on all major desktop and mobile platforms. Not only do Reddit clients make it easier for users to find the best content, they are usually more pleasing on the eye, too. Reddzine is an iPad client for Reddit that treats the social blogging platform as a magazine. All the best and recent posts in your favorite subreddits will be organized in a beautiful Pinterest-like grid, and a single tap is enough to view the video, image or post in greater detail. The app comes with a browser of its own that is used when you click a link in one of the listed posts. Arguably, the app’s best feature is its native video player. Videos from all supported services are played within the same page, without you even having to navigate away to the built-in browser. Read More

Reddit may have started out as a simple website for sharing and discovering content, but it’s evolved into an entire community, and a very large one at that. Reddit is now spread over many subreddits and has played (and continues to play) an integral part in many online campaigns, often raising money for a charitable cause, while occasionally sending rappers to Alaska. The only thing is, as things get bigger, it gets harder to manage them. The website itself has built-in methods for managing the people/posts you follow, but there are still more ways to do it. This post lists 15 great Chrome extensions that will help you browser Reddit more easily and are equally effective if you actively participate in discussions, or are just a lurker. Read More

It fully supports both tablets and desktops, the latter of which can be controlled using the mouse. Interestingly, Narwhal lets you browse the Reddit feeds even without a user account, but if you have got one or even multiple accounts, you may simultaneously handle them all, too.

Reddit has induced a never-ending addiction among social networking and media sharing aficionados, and has pretty much become an everyday internet chore. It’s a great portal to discuss and share anything you want, irrespective of any particular subject.
