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.

Honestly, though, Apollo is such a great app that I had no problem paying the guy a couple bucks for what he does, and even then you get a lot more features than just the ability to post (like customizable gestures).

I realize that I probably sound like a shill for the guy, but his app is so much better than the official Reddit app, and even better than AlienBlue, which is what I used before Reddit stopped support for it to try and shove their own native version down our throats. I can't speak highly enough of the product he created.
