I have recently started reading Reddit, and have tried a variety of iOS apps, but so far they all seem to miss something I feel is critical: highlight new comments. I have a hard time seeing how anyone can spend much time perusing Reddit without this functionality! Some posts get hundreds (and in some subs, I am sure thousands) of comments, and when you are bouncing between posts and their comments, being able to easily spot what is new is vital for my sanity.

Anyone know of such an app? Alien Blue is sort of the default Reddit app from what I have seen, but the free version doesn't do this. I don't mind paying, but I can't find any indication that unlocking the pro version adds this.

So, any insight would be helpful. Thanks!

I'd buy an app with this feature too. I'm a new Reddit user and I too find it difficult to find new comments (I paid for Reddit Gold on the web site, which adds this feature) but I really need an app that offers it.
