Reddit News has officially been renamed ‘Relay for reddit’ and is still our favorite app for browsing Reddit

Relay for Reddit (formerly Reddit News)

Without a doubt, Reddit News was my personal favorite Android app for browsing posts on Reddit. After a request from Reddit to change the name of the app (due to a change in Reddit’s licensing policy to access their APIs), the app’s developers threw together a poll to see what their user’s thought. After much deliberation, the app has officially been renamed to “Relay for reddit” starting today.

There were a few other interesting names in the running too, things like Frontpage, Narwhal News, Upvote, RedNews, but in the end it was Relay for reddit that was ultimately decided upon. Those that already had the app installed on their device will notice the name change happening automatically and possibly moving to a new spot in their app drawer. As for future news, development, help, and feedback, the official Reddit News subreddit will transition over to the new Relay for reddit one.

With a slick Material design and more features than you can shake a stick at Reddit News Relay for reddit is the perfect Reddit browsing app for your Android tablet or smartphone. You can find the free ad-supported version or a $3 “Pro” version in the Play Store right linked down below. I’d strongly recommend everyone check it out if you haven’t already.

I've been obsessed with consumer technology for about as long as I can remember, be it video games, photography, or mobile devices. If you can plug it in, I have to own it. Preparing for the day when Android finally becomes self-aware and I get to welcome our new robot overlords.

  1. Sync for Reddit or life!

    1. Oh come on. We all know that reddit is fun golden platinum is the best app to browse reddit

      1. I hadn’t even heard of Reddit News before reading this article. I used Baconreader for a long time but the endless crashes made me decide to switch to Reddit is Fun several months ago.

      2. I purchased the pro version of both but Reddit is Fun has problems on some of my devices.

    2. Or life? I choose….. life. O_o

    3. *death*

  2. Hands down the best reddit client.

    Bit I like the old name better.

  3. New name is good but too long.

  4. that name is just a bit too long

    1. The “for reddit” is purely for SEO purposes. Same for “Sync for reddit.” You just call them Relay or Sync.

  5. And misogynists, perverts, and douchebags everywhere rejoice they can still read their crappy site.
