Description:
First released in 2011, Relay has been consistently developed over the past decade by the same third-party developer.
Since September 2023, when Reddit introduced a monthly fee for third-party developers to access its API, Relay has become a subscription-based app.
Depending on your usage, there are multiple price plans to choose from. Over 75% of Relay users pay $1 or $2 per month to enjoy a beautiful, ad-free experience with no trackers and a Frontpage made up of only the subreddits you subscribe to.
Highlights:
Relay’s design closely follows Google’s ‘Material You’ standards, perfectly matching your phone’s color palette, including night mode and an OLED blackout theme.
The app is filled with animations based on physical springs, making them much smoother than traditional Android animations.
Links and comments load simultaneously; a simple swipe lets you switch between them.
Comprehensive Moderator features (distinguish, sticky posts, ban users, etc.).
Swipe to vote.
Rich text editor.
Advanced comment navigation—next/previous thread, find words, IAMA, and more!
Multiple accounts supported.
Subreddit and keyword filtering available.
Extensive customization options, including font style and size, left-handed viewing.
Whether you’re a casual lurker, power user, or even a moderator, Relay makes browsing Reddit a pleasure. It’s a time-honored way to enjoy the news and entertainment of the hour.
