Reddit News is an advanced Reddit client for Android
There is a lot to like about Reddit, the massive online community that rose to fame after Digg and other sites took a dive.
Regardless of whether you like to visit the site for its picture forums, main discussion forums or personal interest forums, it seems to offer something for everyone.
There are countless Reddit clients available for mobile devices so that you can take Reddit with you wherever you go provided that Internet access is available at that location.
Reddit News is a popular application for Android that is considered one of the best for the operating system and maybe even for all systems out there.
The app can be used with and without account. If you don't use an account some account related features, such as commenting or monitoring your own personal stream of subreddits are not available.
When you first start Reddit News you will notice that it displays help tooltips that explain some features of the app. On the frontpage for instance, you are reminded that you can swipe posts to the left to display a list of activities such as up- and downvoting, saving, hiding or jumping to the comments.
You can tap on a post to display it on Reddit if it is an internal post or load an external source such as Imgur or YouTube right away if that is the destination of it.
The main screen displays additional options at the top and bottom. You find a subreddit navigator there that you can use to quickly switch from "all" view to a specific subreddit you are interested in. There you also find the filtering settings to filter posts by time and other parameters such as recency.
Last but not least, a sidebar is available there as well hidden under the Hamburger menu icon. It displays options to sign in and out of an account, change the theme of the app, use the built-in search or visit a specific subreddit, user page or random page on the site.
Individual post pages displays the post and comments on Reddit but also a toolbar at the top and a red button at the bottom of the screen.
The toolbar at the top offers options to vote and save posts, open it in a web browser on the system, reply or use sharing options.
The bottom icon displays "to top" or "to bottom" scrolling options as well as options to search for words and other features related to comments posted by other users.
Closing Words
Reddit News is a great application for users of the service who use Android devices. It is easy to use even if you pay no attention to the massive amount of features that its author has added to the app.
Many users will appreciate those features however as they improve the usability in multiple ways while using the app.
The one downside is that it requires quite a few permissions. It is not clear for instance why it needs the location permission.
Thanks for the tip Martin.
It is for these kinds of posts that I follow GHacks.
What’s up with the generic comment, are you a bot?
2G?
Where on the planet is that still in use? I was forced to give up using my RAZRV3 years ago because 2G was phased out by AT&T.
Everywhere 3G has been turned off and you don’t have LTE coverage, and believe me there are many developed countries where this is the case and if it weren’t for 2G you wouldn’t even be able to make a phone call.
Maybe I missed it, but I don’t believe tha term “2G” is in the article. Perhaps you are referring to “AGM G2”??

Your website has gone insane.
When I the post button I then saw my comment posted on a different article page. When I opened this article again, it is here.

” Your website has gone insane. ”
Same here. Has happened several times.
@Tachy,
@Martin P.,
For over two weeks now,
I’ve been seeing “Comments” posted by subscribers appearing in different, unrelated articles.

For the time being,
it would be better to specify the “article name and URL” at the beginning of the post.
@tachy a lot of non-phone devices with a sim in them rely on 2G, at least here in europe.
Usually things reporting usage or errors/alarms on something remote that does not get day to day inspection in person. They are out there in vast numbers doing important work. Reliable, good range. The low datarate is no problem at all in those cases.
3G is gone or on its last legs everywhere, but this stuff still has too much use to cancel.
Anyhow, interesting that they would put that in. I can see the point if you suspect a hostile 2G environment (amateur eavesdroppers with laptop, ranging up to professional grade MITM fake towers while “strangely” not getting the stronger crypto voip 4G because it is being jammed, and back down to something as old ‘stingray’ devices fallen into the wrong hands).
But does this also mean that they have handled and rolled out a fix for that nasty 4G ‘pwn by broadcast’ problem you reported earlier this year? I had 4G disabled due to that, on the off chance that some of the local criminals would buy some cheap chinese gear, download a working exploit and probe every phone in range all over town in the hope of getting into phones of the police.
>”While most may never be attacked in stingrays, it is still recommended to disable 2G cellular connections, especially since it does not have any downsides.”
The downside would be losing connectivity. I spend a lot of time way out in the countryside where there’s often no service or almost none. My network allows 2G, and I need it sometimes. I have an option on the phone to disable 2G, I may do that when I’m in the city and I have good 5G connectivity, but not out in the country.
I would imagine that the stingray exploits, like most of the bad things in this world, are probably things you will run into in the crowded big cities.
I stopped using it in a mobile (Wi-Fi line) environment, so I’m almost ignorant of the actual situation,
But the recent reality in Japan makes me realize that “the infrastructure of the web is nothing more than a papier-mâché fiction”.

It is already beyond the scope of what an individual can do.
What we should be aware of is the reality that “governments and those in power want to control the world through the Web”, and efforts to counter (resist and prevent) such ambitions are necessary.
Why do you want people to disable the privacy features? Hmmmmm?
Now You: do you plan to keep the Ads privacy features enabled?
I’d like to tell you, but apparently if you make a post critical of Google, you get censored. * [Editor: removed, just try to bring your opinion across without attacking anyone]
@Martin
You website is still psychotic. Comments attach to random stories.
@Martin please do fix the comments, it’s completely insane commenting here! :[
@Martin
The comments are seriously messed up on gHacks now. These comments are mixed with the article at the below URL.
https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/18/android-how-to-disable-2g-cellular-connections-to-improve-security/
And comments on other articles are from as far back as 2010.
What does this article has anything to do with all the comments on this article? LOL I think this Websuite is ran by ChatGPT. every article is messed up. Some older comments from 2015 shown up in recant articles, LOL
The picture captioned “Clearing the Android Auto’s cache might resolve the issue” is from Apple Carplay ;)
How about other things that matter:
Drop survival?
Screen toughness?
Degree of water and dust protection?
