Reddit8

This is a lot better than I was expecting. The UI is very refreshing, and it fits the Windows 8 design language. It also has one killer feature: swipe to the next post! With that said, it is sluggish. It is missing inline GIF and video support. With more features and optimizations, this can be be my go to Reddit app.

Reviewed for v3.0. This is an attractive reddit app, with a different look than any other reddit app I've seen so far in the store. It works nicely with the swipe-to-advance behavior that fits tablets and touchscreens so well. Mouse users should should look at other apps instead. The biggest problems lie underneath. Preloading one or two items ahead in the list would make this app feel so much more responsive and snappier. As it is, you swipe and wait; swipe and wait. The two rows of subreddits in the app bar is a nice way to handling navigation, but showing the same subreddits in both rows when you only subscribe to a few seems like something that could be easily improved on. Why not show just one row if that's all that is needed? Needing to use the back button to get out of comments mode before advancing to the next entry is similar. Why can't I swipe to advance while in comments mode? With some more improvements like that, this app could be really nice.

Really? Goodbye.

The Reddit webpage interface is pretty shitty and I used to get bored of reading on it, but this App is beautiful, clean and confortable. I love it!
