De iPhone-app Alien Blue maakt het een stuk makkelijker om de website Reddit te bezoeken. Reddit is een online dienst, waarmee je interessante artikelen met anderen kunt delen. Heb je iets gelezen, wat voor anderen ook nuttig kan zijn? Dan markeer je het op Reddit. Reddit heeft een officiële app, maar er zijn ook apps van derden die alles nét iets handiger proberen te doen. Zoals Alien Blue. Een nieuwe update zorgt ervoor dat de interface van de app een nieuwe lik verf heeft gekregen. Ook is inloggen via de app nu een stuk veiliger, dankzij het gebruik van SSL-authentication. Gebruik je de in-app aankoop Alien Blue Pro, dan toont de app voortaan link-previews en retina-thumbnails. De lijst met artikelen heeft een nieuw ontwerp gekregen, waardoor hij er minder kleurrijk uitziet.

Here's an app that lets you browse through the popular link board Reddit. You probably don't want to see everything there is on Reddit -- just like Digg in its day and other message boards like 4chan, some of the discussion over there can get pretty wacky. But Reddit is definitely a great community of people, and if you ever want to take the temperature on what the 'net is thinking about the news of the day, browsing through Reddit's links can be very informative. There is an official Reddit app called iReddit, and it works pretty well. But Alien Blue is really the better option. I like the layout better, and it has excellent features like inline comments, Instapaper and Read It Later support, and the ability to actually post and edit your own comments on the service. The app itself is free to check out, but you can spend Read More

Social news community Reddit is a melting pot of current events, endless memes, and obsession with the irreverent—and now it has officially come to the iPhone. Promising virtually all of the site's functionality for the iPhone and iPod touch, we had to dive in to see just how far the Reddit hole goes. Reddit's official iPhone app, iReddit (iTunes link), is not to be confused with previous entrants like "open source reddit" (iTunes link) and Satellite (iTunes link). While iReddit's $1.99 price may turn off some discerning users (who still felt the need to buy a phone that costs at least $200), a free, ad-supported version is on its way. iReddit offers access to all subreddits (basically "categories," for the uninitiated) and lets users vote, comment, share, and save links on their accounts for reading later. Upon first run, the site's legendarily quirky culture and streamlined experience are both immediately apparent, Read More
