this episode of what's the apt is brought to you by hostgator and my epic radio voice oh sorry I I didn't see you there I was too busy browsing reddit on my phone and just got distracted I just Oh am I talking about I put the camera right here there's a microphone right here I'm sorry that was a terrible intro what's going on is John Q here from TechnoBuffalo and welcome to what's the app today we're gonna be taking a look at various reddit applications for iOS and for those of you who are unfamiliar with Reddit it's basically a website where people share images videos stories and anything that's awesome on the internet so if intro intro first let's take a look at the official reddit application ooh Wow official so impressed may I take your coat for you sir it's a bit first let's take a look at the official reddit application Wow first let's take a look at the official reddit application Wow official so impressed may I take your coat for you sir I and it's available for first let's take a look at the official reddit application ooh Wow official so impressed may take your coat for you sir and it's available for both the iPhone and the iPad and I swear I had to pay for this a long time ago I swear it costs money but now it's free so see ya man the app is really simple and quite functional after you login all of your subreddits are synced and you can start browsing right away by the way this is pretty much C core of Reddit wasting hours browsing through super awesome random content I mean check out this picture of Shaq standing next to his girlfriend epic right at the top are the traditional reddit filters hot new top and controversial something that's missing from the listing that is also quite important to Reddit are the good ol up-and-down vote arrows you gotta tap an item before you can see the arrows not a big deal but I thought I'd mention it I'm also not a big fan of how I read a chairs content via email I mean look at all this unnecessary stuff right here I read it also utilizes the old-school refresh button versus a more modern pulled down to refresh method like Twitter I know I know it's another personal thing but after getting used to so many applications implementing that pulled down to refresh thing where it just pulls down and it makes a noise of Wow so satisfying it just feels a little bit inefficient when it's not there I bet it does load more content when you reach the bottom aka infinite scrolling which I do like very much another plus is that you can edit to add and remove sub reddits really easily but the application lacks the ability to actually submit a reddit post which is odd on a final note before we move on to the next application I gotta mention the serendipity mode sounds no idea what that means by the way it's a collection of random sounds I have no idea how they're activated but there's one time I was browsing through I read it and my phone vibrated and this cow sound came screaming out minutes scared the crap out of me so I read it three out of five next reddit pics as far as feature goes this application barely has any you can't submit links you can't vote up and down all you can really do is browse through pictures but I like that because that's all I really do unread it so it's totally cool with me man totally fine and look at that pulled down to refresh like I read it there are filters at the top just tap on a picture and we're off see this is all there is to it seriously if this is your thing you can do this for hours and I have almost I think can't remember I was too distracted by giant monster halibut look at him go in addition to email sharing you can share stuff through Twitter and Facebook as well which is a plus but like I read it when you share stuff via email it includes all this weird random useless stuff but it doesn't bet the picture within the email so I guess it's not that bad a pretty big downside if Reta pics is that gif images don't animate which is kind of weird considering that this is an image dedicated application the app is free but there's a pro version that you can get for $4 that removes ads allows you to add sub reddits and a couple of other things personally I'm cool with a free version as our pics is all I need although the stupid pop-up things are really really annoying reddit picks four out of five and speaking of pictures I'm gonna take

taking a look at is something I've been using for a really really long time alien blue you know what it's free now I had to pay two dollars for the iPhone version and five bucks for the iPad version totally worth it though as this app is so awesome in short this is how red it should be a breakdown of your saved liked and submitted content cute thumbnails of each subreddit quick access to your inbox which I never use full screen mode and Wow you can even submit a link if you want to you can't really upload a photo or anything but you know at least the options there and even have this nifty photo gallery mode which is great for browsing through pictures and check this out if you like the thing you can just upload right there and speaking of voting the arrows are available right too in the listing and the best part of this is at least in my opinion is sharing via email it's just a link in a title plain simple wonderful and delicious there are loads of other things you can do to customize your experience such as text size a night theme tilt scrolling and loads more unfortunately there is no infinite scroll feature like I read it but hey at least it's got that pull down to refresh thing alien blue 4.5 out of 5 well I hope you guys enjoyed this review for you redditors out there with iOS devices have fun getting or ask me anything today I learned in Pixar even few on
