Reddit is fun vs Now for Reddit

Reddit is fun's UI feels familiar for Reddit users.

Allows for easier reading in the dark as there is less light to annoy the eyes.

A recent update has added tablet support to Reddit is fun.

Extremely "clean" UI: compact and nothing superfluous. Features are discoverable.

The Amoled mode turns the background to complete black, which emits no light on Amoled panels. This not only looks cleaner, but also saves battery. Phones without Amoled panels can still select this mode - it is a bit darker than the material dark mode.

Allows you to use multireddits you create on the website.

Reddit is fun allows you to use special features earned by having reddit gold such as syncing visited links between reddit is fun and the browser site.

The free version allows the option to disable ads, so you only need to turn them on if you wish to support the developer or use moderator features.

Has functionality for removing/approving posts/comments, removing as spam, reading/replying to mod-mail, distinguishing comments.

The app combined with 3rd party sync applications helps show links you've already viewed. Sometimes it misses a few, but it's close most of the time.

Usable WIP of a cards them available.

Reddit is Fun has the ability to be used in milti-window mode on high end Samsung phones. It can also be used in pop-up view (drag the corner of the screen towards the middle to shrink the app to about 1/2 size, or keep it as a bubble similar to FaceBook's chat heads feature).

With the card-based UI, the app fits in very well design wise with the Material Design of the OS. Everything is intuitive to use being that the interface is familiar and follows Google's design guidelines.

Now for Reddit utilizes the transparent nav bar implemented in Android 4.4+, making for a cleaner looking interface.

The design of the icon for Now for Reddit is clean, simple and fits well with material design.

Now for Reddit is one of the few Reddit clients that come with the ability to change how much content can be viewed on the screen. You'd also be hard pressed to find another Reddit client that can show you full-size images (via full-size cards) without you having even tapped on the image.

Keep in mind that the configurable card sizes might also have an impact on battery consumption, ranging from tiny cards (most battery efficient) to full size cards (most battery/data hungry).

The design of the app lends itself well to phones and tablets alike no matter the orientation that the device is being held in. Not having to switch apps depending on the users device is a nice feature.

Using Android's profile GPU rendering tool it can be clearly shown how the Now for Reddit is generally more responsive than quite a few of the other popular reddit clients. For people obsessive about the 60 FPS mark, it would be hard to find a near 60 FPS experience as good as Now for Reddit.
