If it comes to reading one site to know it all, its gotta-be reddit. Reddit is fun, and its the most informative social content aggregation site.
We’ve been a loyal user of Reddit for about 7 years, and the experience is worth touting: Its still the best news aggregation site out there.
But truth be told, the frontend UI is not all that appealing and all those links can confuse any new user. The topics (called sub reddits) can be overwhelming with so much data presented on its pages.
The solution, is of course, in using one of the Rich clients on your content consumption device: iPad, Android Tablets.
Lets take a look at one app on each iPad (iOS platform) and Android that are visually appealing and easy to use.
Reddit for Android
1. Reddmag
Reddmag brings the visual magazine aspect to the Reddit reading experience. All the best and recent posts in your favorite subreddits will be organized in a beautiful images-fill grid.
Reddmag free gives you access to limited number of subreddits.
Download: Free | Pro (Paid) [Play Store]
2. Reddit Sync
Since Reddmag isn’t perfect, coz of the limited subreddits it support, we recommend taking a look at Reddit Sync as well.
Reddit sync lets you sync your favorite subreddits for later offline viewing. Reddit Sync aims to bring you the fastest mobile reddit experience out there.

Reddit for iPad

You can browse all possible SubReddits by typing in the search and suggest field at the top. While browsing a particular subreddit, you can change a lot of things about the way posts are displayed in settings. When you’re in a particular Subreddit, you can sort it based upon Hot, New, Top & Controversial filters available in web version.
You can bookmark subreddits with star, vote on posts when signed-in.
In order to comment on posts, you’ll have to buy the full version, within the app.
