First released in 2011, Relay has been consistently developed over the past decade by the same third party developer.
Relay has been a subscription-based app since since September 2023 when Reddit introduced a monthly fee for 3rd party developers to access its API.
There are multiple price plans to choose from depending on your usage. More than 75% of Relay's users pay (USD) 1$ or 2$ dollars per month for a beautiful, ad-free experience with no trackers and a pure Frontpage made up of only the subreddits you subscribe to.
Highlights:
• Relay's design closely follows Google's 'Material You' standards giving you the same color palette as the rest of your phone, including night mode and an OLED blackout theme.
• Animations are sprinkled throughout the app and are based on physical springs which makes them much smoother then traditional Android animations.
• Links and comments load at the same time; a simple swipe switches between them.
• Comprehensive Moderator features (distinguish, sticky posts, ban users etc)
• Swipe to vote
• Rich text editor
• Advanced comment navigation - next/previous thread, find words, IAMA and more!
• Multiple accounts supported
• Subreddit and key word filtering available
• Extensive customisation options including font style and size, left-handed viewing.
Relay for reddit is a time-honored way to browse the news and entertainment of the hour. Whether you're a casual 'lurker', power user, or even a moderator, Relay's design makes reddit viewing a pleasure.
