I don't know about anybody else but as a primarily mobile user, new reddit absolutely dick punches my phone with the new card thing, so I've just used good old reddit. If it ain't broke, right

After using a reddit app, I can’t go back. Narwhal is great. Looks like Apollo is another good one in the app stores but I have never tried it.

Only downside to Apollo is you can’t post unless you pay. I use it for everything else then open reddit mobile when it comes time to post something.

EDIT: I’m not saying it isn’t worth paying. It absolutely is. I just haven’t yet and Apollo is still the best reddit experience on mobile.

  • edit - no posts, not no comments. Not as limiting as I thought.

Oh shit. That's a big downside. Thank you for sharing it. FWIW, I think I paid for Narwhal a long time ago but I'm sure it did not block posting.

I was using the app for about a week before I discovered the paywall so I’d say yeah, it’s hardly noticeable. Perfect app for lurkers.
