Relay for reddit vs Joey for Reddit

A great feature of Relay is the UX for swiping between the post and the reddit comments. It's very fast to go back and forth between the views.

Relay uses screen space efficiently and can be navigated quickly. It is mostly designed for viewing a single subreddit at a time and making that experience as pleasurable as possible, with easy access to a subs from a dropdown menu at the top.

With support for multiple accounts, interface themes, and inline picture previews, Relay for reddit offers a large amount of features for any power reddit user.

There are also many unique functionalities that set Relay apart from the competition.

●It has a 'Remove unread' option to swipe away all read threads. This is especially useful when it's a large and busy subreddit with tons and tons of submissions, to the point where it can get overwhelming. This a convenient option for making your reddit-browsing experience a little easier.

●It offers compatability with the Multi-Window feature which is present on Samsung & L.G phones (soon to be present AndroidOS-wide). This greatly enhances multi-tasking.

●It offers an excellent Spoiler tag support and an AMA mode (conspicuously missing from its biggest competitor).

To keep a better context of the conversation, Relay doesn't hide the parent comment while browsing.

The abundant animations make browsing more enjoyable because it transitions so nicely.

GIFs are automatically converted to gfycat format; they therefore load much faster than on other apps.

The moment the user opens Relay for reddit and begins exploring all of its ins and outs, it becomes quite clear how wonderfully designed this app is. There is excellent UX for redditors who prefer discussions and news, rather than pictures, videos, and gifs.

● You can alternate between a cards and a lists UI with a compact list view optional.

● A drop-down menu of all your subreddits is present at the top for quick and easy access. If the user is adequately familiarized with the list, he/she can simply swipe on the banner so to quickly switch between subreddits.

●The comment format option is situated right next to the drop-down menu.

It's an all around wonderful application with many Material Design elements employed.
