Reddit Gets an Iphone App

Website Summary by: ddblack    


Since the App Store launched this accomplished summer, it was odd to me that none of the big social-voting sites accept launched
iPhone apps. Sure, all plan on the iPhone’s Safari web browser, and some, like Digg, are even optimized for it, but accustomed how adherent some of those sites’ users are, it would assume analytic to actualize glossy apps for the services. Now there is one — unofficially — for Reddit.
The app, fabricated by developer Joseph Pintozzi, showcases the a lot of accepted belief on Reddit at any accustomed time in a appearance optimized for the iPhone. It’s appealing nice, the capital page shows the top account and beat on any of them endless the absolute adventure in the Reddit app’s own browser. Beat on the dejected arrows to the appropriate of the banderole gives you added options such as seeing all the comments on a adventure and which Reddit user submitted it. In fact, the Reddit iPhone app alone seems to abridgement one thing: Voting!
Well, technically you can vote if you appearance the comments on the adventure and annal up to the capital banderole and advance the up or down arrow (how you vote on Reddit). You’ll accept to log in of course, and absolutely this is just the aforementioned as application reddit.com in the web browser. There should be an simple way to vote appropriate aural the app, but aback it’s not official, Reddit acceptable isn’t acceptance you to do that.
But it should. The aggregation appear over the summer that it was open-sourcing its account so that developers could advice accomplish it better. So far, not abundant has appear of this, but a full-featured Reddit iPhone app with voting functionality would be a abundant start. I’ve contacted Reddit about the app, but accept yet to apprehend back.
