Amazing app, way better than Alien Blue, but you know what sucks? It's that you cannot activate the dark theme once your gold membership ends.
There is no iPad support because fragmentation exists under iOS. Too much work for developers to support so many devices with so many screen resolutions.
This was my exact reaction. Will continue using Alien Blue for now.I'm wondering why they even bothered to acquire Alien Blue if they weren't going to continue to support and improve it? Instead they scrap it and build a whole new app, which (granted I only used it for five minutes) doesn't seem even 30% as capable as AlienBlue AND on top of that has no iPad support.
What the hell are they thinking?
Not aviable in German store :/
I owned Alien Blue and never got an notice to get free premium gold?
Anyone that uses Reddit but doesn't use the app Narwhal is crazy, IMO. The dev supports everything for iOS (Universal app, multi tasking on iPad, 3D touch, Safari View, PiP on iPad) and it looks great and runs great. All the essential features of a good Reddit app are there as well. It's seriously fantastic.
Thanks!Cool. So far this interface loss rely clean

Awesome to hear. I never liked Alien Blue either.Really liking the new app. I was never a fan of alien blue, so just stuck to the real site. This, at least to me, seems like a very usable app.
What is everyone liking about this over Alien Blue?
From a quick run through I can only see things that I dislike.
it seems super basic at this point and I can't really see the advantage over just using the redesigned mobile site.
- There is no easy way to preview videos and images (long press in alien blue).
- Even when going to the page, all of optimized content views are gone.
- There is no more gallery view
- The comment editor doesn't give you any way to preview formatting
- Voting arrows are inline. They take up room and increase the chance of accidentally downvoting stuff as you're just scrolling.
I disliked the search feature and the tabbed two column layout on the iPad. The UI for swiping to see content full screen, seeing comments, and then returning to the previous page were cumbersome. This app is simple and clean.
I will too since I don't like any of the mobile apps. They look ok, just think the desktop site is better. I did download this and login to get the 3 months gold but then deleted the app.Meh, I'll just stick with Safari.
