Reddit is quite possibly one of the most active and interesting websites you can find. It boasts of a huge community of people interested in a variety of topics, and no matter what topic you’re interested in, Reddit probably has a subreddit for it. Plus, with the Android and iOS apps for Reddit, accessing the website on your smartphone is easier than ever. However, even though the official Reddit apps aren’t terrible by any means, they do have some issues, including the fact that GIFs usually just don’t play on them. So, if you’re looking for an un-official better Reddit client that offers more features and is an overall better experience, here’s our list of the 12 best Reddit apps that you can use in 2020.
1. Apollo for Reddit

Cons:

Bacon Reader’s standout feature will, however, have to be their built-in powerful image editor that lets you modify images in various ways, before sharing them onto Reddit. You can utilize this editor to draw on images, apply filters, and be able to meme-ify them from within the app. This makes BaconReader perfect for the Redditors who primarily use it to share images.

4. Antenna client for Reddit
It might not be the greatest looking app out there, but Antenna client for Reddit more than makes up for it with its robust feature set. The app displays the posts in an endlessly loading fashion, and has preview support for everything from images/GIFs to YouTube videos. In addition to the standard features, Antenna client for Reddit includes things like the ability to limit cellular data downloads to conserve bandwidth, as well as integration with many “read later” services like Pocket, Readability, and Instapaper. Apart from that, there are configurable filters, and support for using multiple Reddit accounts as well.

The app includes built-in Imgur integration for native album viewing, and lets you preview YouTube videos as GIFs as well. Standard options such as upvote/downvote, searching and subscribing subreddits are easily accessible, and you can configure image/video download quality for saving on data. Not only that, Readit makes full use of Windows Phone’s amazing tiled UI, letting you pin individual subreddits to the Start Screen for quicker access.
