Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Meant to mirror all features of Reddit on a mobile device
The creation of m.reddit.com is meant as a way to ensure 1:1 functionality of the main site to mobile so mobile users whom do not want to use or want to pay for an app can use the site in full.
Pro Can show inline videos and images
The list view shows embedded images and videos right within the feed.
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
m.reddit is still in beta so there may be missing features or broken aspects to the mobile web app.
Con Constant popup ads for official Reddit app
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
