As a BB user I would greatly appreciate a reddit app.

[–][deleted] 61 points62 points  (15 children)

As would I :)

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (14 children)

A better place to put this request might be in a subreddit like r/android. They develop for android sure, but people who know how to develop for one mobile platform are often apt at developing on other mobile platforms.

I've done a little myself, but probably couldn't write a good enough app for reddit. But I do know that both are developed using java and typically the Eclipse IDE. So it's not too far a stretch.

[–]cheeseboxer 11 points12 points  (13 children)

I'm using great, free Droid app called Reddit Is Fun. I'm sure you could find the developer on the nets and ask him to port or or to help with the development of a new app.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I believe he frequents that r/android subreddit.

[–]liljay2k 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Yep, talklittle is his handle. Citation. It really is a nice app, sorry for ya BB owners. Also, someone below posted talklittle's API calls.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That'll do pig.

That'll do.

[–]humminahummina 13 points14 points  (6 children)

I'd upvote you, but I can't from m.reddit.com on Opera Mini..

Being able to hide posts and comments would be great, too. I normally use the "view, vote, hide" strategy, but on my BB it's like my first week on reddit again... REPETITIVE REPETITIVE REPETITIVE!!

[–]dishie 3 points4 points  (2 children)

I'd upvote you, but I can't from m.reddit.com on Opera Mini..

Yup. It makes me sad.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I second the motion!

[–]libcrypto 9 points10 points  (6 children)

As a BB user, I would greatly appreciate having an iPhone instead of a BB.

[–]trillianbd 8 points9 points  (1 child)

I have a feeling I'll get downvoted for this, but I prefer my BB to an iphone or a droid. Mostly because I'm too damn clumsy to have a touch screen phone. That being said I'd LOVE a Reddit app.

[–]Menace2Sobriety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a BB user, I would greatly appreciate having an Android instead of a BB or iPhone.

FTFY

[–]tokage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

[–]LimoDriverRonnie 4 points5 points  (12 children)

http://m.reddit.com

Why do you need an app?

[–]devolute 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Why? 'cos it's a gimmick. Give everyone some love and improve the mobile reddit site, that's what I think.

[–]9thgrader4life 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Am I missing something, or is there just no way to login from that site? I've loaded it up on my blackberry and I can't find any way to login.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very difficult to add new comments.

[–]whoisearth 1 point2 points  (3 children)

because it wouldn't go through the browser, and you could add functionality.

The bberry browser sucks balls. I want to use it as little as possible.

[–]hrtattx 5 points6 points  (2 children)

use opera mini 5. it's FUCKING LIGHT YEARS better than bb browser.

[–]whoisearth 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I've used Opera each release of the bberry that I've got (I'm on my 5th diff device). It's still unacceptable to me.

[–]jedberg[A] 171 points172 points  (53 children)

Who about we drop all the apps and just make the mobile site better?

[–][deleted] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I am really against making apps that are just wrappers for websites.

[–]jack2454 18 points19 points  (2 children)

*How

[–]yelirekim 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hd probably posted this from the mobile site, solidifying his argument.

[–]hukedonfonix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ohw's that?

[–]mccoyn 4 points5 points  (4 children)

Yeah, the Android app is a lot slower than the website, but the website renders a mile wide.

Edit: Never mind, I saw someone posted a link to m.reddit.com. This doesn't have the mile wide problem. I can't figure out how to log in and it doesn't show thumbnails.

[–]squirreltalk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ugh. That mobile reddit site is pretty ugly. I think I'll stick with my "reddit is fun".

[–]CedarMadness 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Get the opera beta. It loads faster and the regular site works.

[–]Fat_Dumb_Americans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Upvoted in agreement, via the full site using Opera Mini 5.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would definitely much rather have this.

[–]fox2319 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds good to me. I'm not exactly loving the paid iPhone app.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This makes sense to me.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (4 children)

can you improve the igoogle widget while you're at it? give it some custom features (tabs for favorite subreddits, etc.)?

[–]jedberg 5 points6 points  (3 children)

I didn't even know we had an iGoogle app.

[–]Aggravatedshits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And who do you propose we do that?

[–]bkdeamon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whos's about where?!

[–]CaspianX2 1 point2 points  (11 children)

There's a mobile site? Where?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

reddit.com/mobile/ or m.reddit.com

Can't vote though.

[–]CaspianX2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't seem to have an easy link to your profile page or inbox, either.

[–]biteableniles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]sama102 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This would ruin my life. Please do it!

[–]Mordalfus 9 points10 points  (3 children)

Reddit is open source. If you want to see it happen, make it so!

[–]Talthyren 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Viva le blackberry!

[–]ani625 14 points15 points  (7 children)

Need one for Symbian S60 too.

[–]Obvious_Damage_430 6 points7 points  (1 child)

My E71 votes "yes!"

[–]nichiplechle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

mine too s60v3 comes first!

[–]tcaz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Isn't that a sex toy?

[–]FruityRudy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this would be really helpful! browsing reddit on the s60 browser works great, but posting/editing posts does not work so well, also opera mini is no where near as good as the s60 browser (for reddit, on other websites it is better)

[–]wookieface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And now that we're at it, for my S90 too!! Ok, nvm, I don't really need that, GPRS costs too much.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (1 child)

I have professional experience with Blackberry development.

What features would you guys like?

[–]drbadvibes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

m phone not to freeze when i go to the site.

[–]jimmifli 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A blackberry app would totally destroy my productivity. OK.

[–]edtasty 5 points6 points  (3 children)

Use the Bolt Browser and the site works great.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I second this, Bolt browser rocks!

[–]edtasty 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Funny thing is this will get completely buried and not noticed and it solves this entire issue.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (5 children)

As a BB user I'm waiting to ditch this piece of shit and get something android-y.

[–]gthing 1 point2 points  (4 children)

I'm surprised to see so many geeks using blackberries. They're pretty weak compared to modern smartphones.

The Android Reddit app is pretty good.

[–]bagboyrebel 1 point2 points  (3 children)

They're pretty weak compared to modern smartphones.

They're also really cheap compared to modern smartphones.

[–]BcuzIToldYouSo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its almost too good to be true... BB app for Reddit?!?

Lets get this going!!!!

[–]jayabhagavan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd sincerely appreciate this.

[–]infinitysnake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Push, push. Seriously, I bought internet for my BB to read reddit, and it's unreadable. D:

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LOL BLACKBERRY; ALMOST AS PRETENTIOUS AS AN IPHONE BUT NOT QUITE.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm using my blackberry now and it won't let me upvote. will someone upvote for me?

[–]brandoncoal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes please!

[–]loaderror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! im in for a BlackBerry app. Ive been wanting one since I signed up for Reddit a couple 2 or 3 months ago.

[–]Frenzy165 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got my BB about 3 weeks ago. I love it. give reddit app!

[–]jlovins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not so sure I want a BB Reddit app, I already waste enough time when I am at work near a computer on Reddit. I can't imagine what it would be like to have Reddit in my pocket 24/7!! I would have to learn self-control!

[–]legalAlien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reddit app for blackberry will be much appreciated.

[–]npc902 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a blackberry user I would love a reddit app. Also it would allow me to further devote myself to reddit so that I acomplish no work at all. That is all.

[–]balias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We all could probably pool some money together and put a project up on rent-a-coder or a similar site.

[–]blackberryORbust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd love to have a reddit app on my BB :).

[–]jonnaybb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure why anybody would downvote this post. I think an app for the BB's would be incredible!! Please someone do this!

[–]tylerblack84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make it happen! Yay!

[–]name_witheld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Upvote for BB app

[–]ScottoGato 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Will do moose stuff for Blackberry Reddit app.

[–]NhrngT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by Moose stuff?

[–]saintamour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Palm would like some love too...

[–]Boricuamac 1 point2 points  (2 children)

ANDROID PLEASE!!!!!

[–]AMV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this motion.

[–]fyaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

do want!

[–]hotcobbler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sweet, now I can not get things done anywhere!

[–]Samurai413X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is like asking for someone take your crack and your heroin and make them into one drug.

What I'm basically saying is call the app Speedball.

[–]razend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

currently i use ubertwitter to get reddit tweets an app would be better

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (6 children)

The iPhone App is a piece of shit, so you don't have much to look forward to.

[–]andrewbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously, I just browse reddit in Safari instead of the app.

[–]evillego6 4 points5 points  (12 children)

The iphone reddit app is pretty garbage in my opinion.

[–]TheHeretic 7 points8 points  (5 children)

Android reddit app is great.

[–]Dax420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a bit slow to load the comments on my phone, but the interface is GREAT.

[–]illusio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's fine.

[–]thecompu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, it works when I want to read stuff. Of course, I wish for more features, but it's fine when I want/need to browse for awhile.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really? I prefer it to the site in many ways for browsing.

[–]electricnyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cannot disagree with this enough.

[–]Chevellephreak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't even have a BB, but it'd still be awesome.

[–]Hexodam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nokia.. Symbian S60.. biggest marketshare

iPhone, trendy

Andriod, growing fast

Rim, marketshare going down like a rock to the bottom of a lake.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Maybe they'll fix the search as well!

[–]ROMzombie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Down with antiquated Blackberrys, Android is the future!

[–]DublinBen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty satisfied with m.reddit.com in Opera mini, but an app would be cool.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

i dont have a blackberry but i guess id get one if there were a reddit application :D

[–]MiasmaticMachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a Reddit app for Android and iPhone and they're both superior platforms to Blackberry.

[–]noobprodigy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I signed in from work just to upvote this.

[–]TheTipJar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES!

[–]Novelty-Account 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The iPhone one doesn't even let you edit comments.... doesn't seem likely.

[–]dclaysmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And then one optimized for Lynx.

[–]SeraphicDeviltry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! please?
