Users can subscribe to subreddits as well as unsubscribe from within the app, meaning users will not have to leave the app in order to control what they are subscribed to.

Pro The official app
This app is the official Reddit app made by Reddit, which has the potential for not only better support over a third party app dev, but the implementation of features not found in the public API.
Cons
Con In beta
redkit for reddit is still in beta which means there may be broken or missing features.
Con Ads
No way to get rid of ads at all, unlike most other apps.
Con Annoying irrelevant notifications
Con Does not open native apps
When clicking on links in the Official Reddit app (such as a Youtube link), the Youtube app will not open, but instead the Chrome browser does. This happens with a wide array of links found in the Official Reddit app as they all lead to an outside browser instead of opening within the app or opening in the appropriate app.
Con Can't customize the view of posts
For example no support for multi column view or customization for the card view
Con Can't see single comment threads
Con Frequent crashes
