Reddit is a entertainment, social networking, and news website where registered community members can submit content, such as text posts or direct links, making it essentially an online bulletin board system . Other registered users may then vote the posted links up or down, causing them to appear more or less prominently on the reddit home page. The site has discussion areas where users may discuss the posted links, and vote for or against others' comments. When there are enough votes against a given comment, it will not be displayed by default, although a reader can display it through a link or preference. Users who submit articles which other users like and subsequently "vote up" receive "karma", points which a user receives as a reward for submitting interesting articles. reddit also includes several topical sections called subreddits, which focus on specific topics, including programming, science, and politics etc,.
Reddit launched an official iOS app back in October 2014, after the company acquired third-party Reddit app ‘Alien Blue’.
Alien Blue was the most popular reddit app for iPhones and iPads prior to acquisition, and has retained its name following the buy-out – albeit with ‘reddit official client’ branding.
Reddit’s new CEO Steve Huffman has just revealed than an Android app is “under active development” in an update thread on the website but Huffman didn’t reveal a release date for the upcoming Reddit Android app.
The company has now admitted that a custom-built official Android app is in the works. But there is no mention when the app will be released but we expect it soon...
Here is the thread
