Narwhal - A New Awesome App For Reddit - iPhone

Narwhal for Reddit By Rick Harrison is a new client application for the popular social sharing website Reddit.

Narwhal features a iOS 7 inspired design, using a color palette similar to the official Reddit colors. The interface is clean looking and well thought out. 

You can access; front page, new, hot, rising and controversial, from a pull down menu. From the site 'hamburger' (three line) menu, you can access all the other sub-reddits, find users, and edit preferences. You can also easily share Reddit posts to social networks. 

If you don't have a Reddit account, this app is free. But by upgrading the app to the paid version (for $1.99), you can sign in using your Reddit account, and access features; messages, add new posts, comment, subscribe to sub-reddits, vote on posts with simple swipe gestures, save/hide posts using gestures... 

Narwhal is a nice new promising app for Reddit. If there is a feature you think is missing, there is apparently more features to come in future updates.

Narwhal for Reddit is FREE to download, contains an in-app purchase for a 'pro version' ($1.99). The app is designed for iPhone, and can be downloaded from the App Store. 

'Redd' The iOS App Client For Reddit With The Best Visual Interface - App Review

For a while now I had been using the app client Alien Blue for Reddit, until I came across a recently gone free app for iOS (designed for iPhone & iPod Touch) called, Redd - Reddit client by Craig Merchant. Redd is actually a really great app for Reddit. A a recent update has made the app, even better.

Redd has a really nice clean interface. It looks the part for iOS 7. The app divided by tabs on the bottom of the app. There's: Hot, New, Rising, Controversial, and Top. These also work for each category you enter. The categories can been accessed from the three line "hamburger menu" on the top left corner.

The Features of Redd:

- Search and browse your favorite subreddits
- Add and reply to comments and stories

- Upvote and Downvote stories and comments

- Share stories to your favorite services

- Add your own text, link, or photo stories

- Upload single or multiple photos quickly and easily straight to imgur

- Browse photo galleries in our built in photo viewer

- Night mode

Redd, in a recent update included a really useful feature - Night mode. A dark interface, consisting mainly of blacks and grays, that helps eyes read a little better at night. This mode can work without any user interaction. Once switched on, just set daily times (i.e: 10pm - 6am), and Redd will automatically switch Night mode on for you.  

My dislikes with Redd: There are a few things that I would change. I'd add a share button. You can share things like photos that other users have uploaded, but you can't seem to share the whole posting. Not a big fan of the gray writing in the posts and comments, could be a shade darker. Adding Reddit Messages is an important feature that should be added, too. Another thing that Redd may want to add is a native iPad version. As a lot of people now do there reading on iPad's, I'm sure they'd appreciate this feature. And if I'm going to really nitpick, I'd make the logo on the app icon a bit smaller. It's not evenly boarded.

In the Settings, you can of course login with your Reddit credentials. You can switch on 'Hide NSFW Content'. And change text size.

Visually, Redd is the best app client for the Reddit website. It may not contain all the features for the pro' Reddit users, but I'd still recommend you check it out.


Redd - reddit client is currently priced at FREE, and is available to download for iOS devices (Designed for iPhone).
