BaconReader for Reddit for Android

BaconReader for Reddit brings the complete Reddit experience to your smartphone or tablet; using it is in many ways more appealing than accessing the popular bulletin board-styled news and social Web site through your Web browser. To really enjoy this app, however, you may have to pay to remove the distracting ads.

Pros

Great functionality: BaconReader for Reddit enables you not only to read Reddit content, but also to comment, scroll and expand comments, view posted slideshows, vote submissions up or down, and easily save or share favorites. We especially like the subreddit sidebar for quick navigation and the full user profile support.

Sleek interface: Frankly, this app's interface looks better than the official Reddit Web site, featuring color-coded comment threads, full screen mode, and a tablet-optimized design for easy viewing of images and videos. Of all Reddit apps available, this is probably the best looking.

Handy tutorial and excellent support: Although the app looks quite different from the official Reddit Web site, the quick and straightforward tutorial that greets you after installation helps you get started right away. What's more, the developers are known to provide excellent support, so if you ever have a question, you can expect a quick response via the app's Google Play page.

Cons

Nagging ads: Whether you're viewing slideshows or browsing through the news, a banner appears at all times onscreen. It's especially annoying on the main screen, where it hides some of the comments.

Overwhelming at first: While beautiful, the interface looks unlike that of the official site and can feel cluttered, at least until you get used to it.

Bottom Line

Whether you're a casual or hardcore redditor, BaconReader for Reddit won't disappoint you. Offering you a convenient way to access the Reddit site and enjoy its main features, this app has what it takes to keep you glued to the popular social and news site.
