@alexisohanian The app looks great! Congrats on the launch. The new app has already replaced Alien Blue and Narwhal on my homescreen. So far the only feature I think is missing is Peak and Pop for images and links. Is there a beta program I can join to provide ongoing feedback? I'd like to test upcoming feature enhancements, if possible.

@maniesco Thank you! Subscribe to https://www.reddit.com/r/beta to be first to know. We're pretty close to our cap for mobile testing.

@alexisohanian Will you be adding any of the removed features from AlienBlue? as right now this app feels like it is designed at new comers / general users, whilst AlienBlue did so much more, like for example: 🔻The removal of casual subscriptions (your design is very suited for multiple subscription folders with labels as well) 🔻Gallery View was great, and now gone. 🔻Why don't we have the option to view a picture straight away rather then go through comments 🔻iPad app 🔻Getting to other subreddits, (why can't i rearrange the order, the whole process of changing a subreddit feels slow) 🔻History tab doesn't use the same check for viewing pref as rest of the app (thats a bug not something alien blue did) Theres lots more that has been removed, and personally, means I can't use your app, as it changes my flow of using reddit, will any of these features be added into the official app? Edit: 🔻Can't search on a subreddit, thats a massive mistake,

@alexisohanian Love so many things about this so far. Any plans for the following features? - Automatic playing/loading of GIFs (under a certain size) so I don't have to click out to third-party sites. - 3D Touch to preview content in compact view. Would also be cool to use peek & pop to view content like GIFs in comments without navigating away from the page. - Ability to organize the subreddits to which I'm subscribed. Congrats on the new app!

@alexisohanian Recently I've been using @getnarwhal and I've loved it. Hopefully this app is even better 😊 📲

@haroenv We're just starting out in the US, UK, Canada and Australia. Other countries will follow shortly, they just require a little more diligence.

@ahiggz okay, I hope it'll be global quickly ☺️

@ahiggz @haroenv thanks <3

@haroenv @ahiggz but will we still be able to take advantage of the gold offer?

@svikashk @haroenv Coming!

@gabrielreynard Thank you!! Hope ours can be your daily driver for many years to come.

@gabrielreynard Have to respectfully disagree, on Android at least. Third-party apps are incredibly impressive, even with their tiny teams. I personally use Sync for Reddit, and it's design plus functionality is unmatched, even by this official version.

@iambarronroth I understand you, they are pretty good app's, but nothing compares to a official version. AMA's app is a prove for that, third-party apps where not as good as the official one. And I have a lot of expectation about this one, I think reddit will "up-level" with this, just like imgur did.

@gabrielreynard "using third apps is not the same experience" I think that's exactly what made reddit great so far. Tons of third party apps. Granted there are a lot rubbish ones (especially on Android). I've been using Reddit News (now Relay) on Android for ages and it's perfect. The dev is incredible and keeps adding really useful features. I doubt an official app can keep up with that. Just have a look at @alextrott_ 's comment above. However I'll give it a go later and report back!

@yannschaub I understand, it's good to have third party apps, it shows how community is engaged with the product. My point is: everything that is official is official, they run the website and are the only ones who can improve to the maximum their service. All of others are just a step product.

@rrhoover He's such a G. https://www.reddit.com/r/trees/c...

@devin_soni We're looking into this! We can do more to optimize this view for showing the most content possible.

@ajm5338 YOU'RE AWESOME, ADAM. Thanks for all the upvotes.

@billchase2 Thank you for beta-testing, Chase! Glad you're enjoying it -- the entire company has come together so well to get this done.

@billchase2 Thanks for beta testing! Those groups have been incredibly helpful in the development process so far. Hope you'll stay on!

@ahiggz I definitely plan to stay on. Looking forward to helping with future releases!

@rrhoover Thanks! We wanted to focus our efforts on making one app really, really great, rather than splitting efforts over multiple apps. Especially for AMAs, which are a core part of the Reddit experience.

@austinahay @alexisohanian @ahiggz @illustriousalex haha that is AWESOME! bet you can't build it in <5 minutes... ;)

@austinahay @ahiggz @illustriousalex @ajm5338 Austin you are everything. Thank you! I'll pay for that burrito you owe @ajm5338. PM me on Reddit (u/kn0thing)

@gillesbertaux Gah. Sorry, that reply was for Chase. We're now available in the US, Canada, UK, and Australia. Launching apps in other countries requires a little bit more diligence than just making a website available globally, but we're planning on getting it out everywhere.

@alexisohanian I'd be happy to test it. Btw, I did not mention - that's why my previous comment might appear a bit harsh, but it looks real damn good! Hence the "frustration".

@gillesbertaux I feel you. All good.

@gillesbertaux Coming soon!

@neilsandhu And now you have it, Neil! ⬆ Let us know what you think.

@jgulden All for you, Josiah!

@ow Thank you, Owen! The team has done something really special.

@suholet Прости! We want to roll out worldwide as soon as possible, we've got to do more diligence, so for now we're only US, Canada, UK, and Australia.

@alexisohanian Спасибо! Asap sounds great for me :) Anyway as a Product manager and IT nerd I understand your strategy and wish you luck. I love Reddit and your team.

@alexfiore 🐻

@billhendricksjr The original idea was to revamp Alien Blue, but it quickly became clear that in order to be able to build at the level of speed and performance that we wanted, starting fresh was the better approach.

@ahiggz @billhendricksjr so what's going to happen to Alien Blue?

@ahiggz Loving the app so far except for one thing - I have to login every day. Bug or feature. If feature, what is the thinking behind it?

@billhendricksjr Definitely a bug, not a feature ;) We're looking into it!

@tsunaze Je suis vraiment excité pour notre lancement en France.

@mordodemaru We've still got some catching up to do - most of the other clients have years of development on us. But we're moving very fast and have every intention of being the best Reddit app out there! Expect updates at least monthly (sometimes more) to get us there. We've got our first update in the Apple submission queue today!

@ahiggz Good approach. I'll keep an eye open on it.

@rui hi Rui! Thanks for the kind words, but this was the team's doing!
