  • use reddit on ipad with a beautiful interface
  • sideload a reddit client ipa
  • test my own reddit api keys in a client

When to choose

  • you want a native, design-focused Reddit experience on iOS/iPadOS
  • you value deep UI customization including fonts, colors, and backgrounds
  • you prefer open-source apps licensed under GPL-3.0

When to avoid
