The BEST way to access Reddit
I’ve been using Narwhal for just about as long as it’s been available. It’s always been a superior Reddit interface. It’s highly customizable and NO ads. The Reddit app is unusable now because of how locked down it is. They spoon feed you everything and so many ads! None of that here. Because Reddit charges for API calls, you have to pay a subscription but it is 100% the most worthwhile subscription I pay for. The dev team is responsive and truly wants to make the best user experience possible. Not only is it a great way to access Reddit but is also truly one of the best designed independent iOS apps.

The only way to Reddit
The utility of Narwhal's editing tools paired with it's browsing capabilities streamline all engagements on Reddit.
I really wanted to like this app
I really appreciate that they have a free trial, and the app looks cool overall. But I tried for 20 minutes to get it set up, and just found the settings to be really confusing and tedious. The comment sections under posts ended up just looking like walls of texts so I was trying to figure out how to show people’s avatars. I also found it difficult to find my notifications. So just decided to give up on this app, but I really wanted to like it.

Wanted to love it
Card -> condense is apparently no longer a thing. Can’t hang with this density. Spent 30 min looking at options. Am I missing something?
Stop. Muting. Audio.
Every time I open the app, it pauses my music. This is so irritating and it’s been a bug for longer than I can remember.
Great App Be Warned Though
Reddit won't allow third party apps to update like the regular app. So no, you won't see a refreshed home page. Plan on every hour or two before refreshing. Blame Reddit for that.
Very Short Trial period
The app is fairly useless and a worse experience than the official reddit app. Not worth 4$ a month to not get ads. The UI is less intuitive.
Album scrolling
Crazy that the terrible reddit website manages to support horizontal scrolling of album pictures without opening a post and this app defaults to just hiding the post. What lovely usability
Paid app
Gotta pay to use. Useless.
Needs Gallery View Mode
I need a replacement for the official app that has a media-only gallery view mode for subreddits. Narwhal interface isn’t different enough from the official app imo.
It makes Reddit fun again
Yeah you have to pay for it but it actually makes Reddit fun to use again. It’s hard to explain but the default Reddit client l feels like its guiding you to how Reddit wants you to use Reddit. Mostly to farm up more engagement. Narwhal doesn’t do that at all, in fact it lets you tune it for exactly how you want to use Reddit. What a concept.

Paid Only
How soon as you download the app it asks you paid them for a pro account, there is no free version of this app FYI
Lame
Can't get any NSFW subs to loads and there is no way to contact support.
Better than the stock app
Far more customisable than the reddit app and a much more seamless browsing experience. The subscription cost to access the app is worth it in my opinion, especially as it is effectively half price the cost of premium in the stock app
Phenomenal
Ignore John S, he’s a wanker. App is great and the only way I will use Reddit outside of Old Reddit on desktop never.
Excellent app
I’ve been using this app for a few months, and I absolutely love it. It allows me to tailor my feed and make it what I want. I had a small problem with the app (totally on my end -not the app) and the dev was super-responsive and helpful. Worth every penny!!
Simply awesome
A Reddit client that’s fast, has working swipe gestures and is super customisable with no ads. Freaking love it!
When the official Reddit client’s swipe back feature broke, I had to go check out what Narwal was about. I regret not doing this earlier. I’ve grown so used to wading through the apps and the bad UI in the official app, that I felt like this was missing 1/3 the content. Turns out those were just the adds and games and whoever Reddit decides to push onto their users that day.
This is slick and clean and void of the mess. I love the little preview section when adjusting font sizes so that you can see exactly what you’re resizing and the video player with scrubbing! Amazing!!

The best way to use Reddit
Narwhal has the smoothest browsing experience for mobile browsing. Super customizable, easy on the eyes, intuitive gestures, with a great community and dev who is super responsive and active making the app even better.
Subscription 👎
Deleted immediately.
Best Reddit app period
100% reccomend. Developer cares, software is excellent, updates are frequent, they go to bat for the users unlike Reddit themselves.
