Reddit Sync Pro for Android Review

2012-11-29
hello everyone Adam here with Android Authority and I have a great review of the app reddit sync pro as I open up the app from my home screen you'll notice that the design is very up-to-date with the ICS and jelly bean standards the flow from screen to screen is very smooth and holo themed now when you open the app for the first time you will be greeted with the front page of Reddit you can sort which posts you see on this page by hitting the top right icon and choosing from what's hot new rising top and controversial speaking of posts if you click on one and look at the comments you'll notice that this app not only shows you the Karma but how many up votes and down votes a certain comment has received going back to the top of the app and working from right to left you'll see that there's an update button that will refresh your feed and a submit button where you can submit either text a link or a picture that you can take on the spot or grab from your gallery before I move on you'll notice that if you are logged on and have any sub reddits you can easily switch between them with a flick of your finger on the home screen I added Android on there just as an example while I'm on the subject of subreddits you'll see that if you go to the subreddit page the icons on the top of the screen will change to add subreddit refresh and a twosies sword another way you can sort your sub reddits manually is by pressing and holding the squares to the right of each entry and moving them to the position of your choosing this is great if you want to sort them by your greatest to least favorite if you were to press and hold an entry anywhere else you'll be able to delete that subreddit moving on if you press the reddit logo in the upper left corner you will see a main menu of sorts where you can do a multitude of different things sub reddits is pretty self-explanatory casual is a cool feature where you can view a subreddit without subscribing to it it makes it a lot easier to view other content you're interested in without making that dedication search is yet another self-explanatory button profile will display your karma and recent posts if you're logged in I just created this profile so you'll see that I really don't have anything going on here saved is an awesome tool that shows any images or post you saved for later while we're here I'm going to select this picture I found and show you that you can pinch to zoom which is pretty cool the images on this app are hosted by now I'm probably going to butcher this but uh injure in ger its IMG you are I probably didn't say it right either way but you know I'm sorry about that and anyway they're actually pulled from their servers going back messaging will display your inbox and your outbox sync will do exactly what it says there's log out and finally settings if you press that button you will see that the developer or developers didn't skimp at all with what you can do you have things like initial comment count message check interval and color scheme color scheme will change my default blue theme to any of the other available colors scrolling on down night mode will change the background to a sort of grayscale in the font to white you also have other toggle settings like internal browser handle there's that word again imager anger I don't know galleries and Google Drive integration Google Drive integration is by far one of my favorite features if you have the drive app installed on your phone and this option is checked then any image you save on this app will be pushed to the cloud freeing up space on your device this is perfect for someone like me who loves to try out a bunch of apps every single week the final interesting setting on here is hide not-safe-for-work threads this is really helpful if only because it'll save you from getting in trouble at the office that's all I have for this review reddit sync pro is an amazing app that will certainly stay on my home screen for a while I hope you enjoyed this review and please give it a thumbs up and some feedback in the comments below this is adam from android authority signing off
