Reddit let others do the heavy lifting for her on the mobile side for years, the development of applications that often do more - and better - than his own client, which the company has long since abandoned. Probably one of the best and certainly the most popular, is Alien blue on iOS, which existed both as a specialized iPhone app and an app for the iPad. Now Reddit party and acquired and developer Jason Morrissey, who joins the company to continue working on it.
"We believe that our communities are interested in multiple ways to discover reddit."
It is important, Reddit said that the acquisition does not mean the end of other third party applications. "We are also continuing to work with other third party developers and will continue to do so, because we believe that our communities are interested in multiple ways to experience reddit," the company said in a post announcing the move. "over the past six months, we have improved our API, added OAuth for apps, and added gold features to help developers build our mobile ecosystem."
a wrinkle is that Alien blue paid "pro" component, and its iPad version cost money up front. the software, which was redesigned for iOS 8 back in August, was re-launched as a new application, with the offer Reddit to allow existing users to upgrade free of charge during the next week until it starts charging again. As part of this change privacy settings of Users do not sync on, but there is an integrated tool to transfer them manually.
movement Reddit comes a month after the company began a new smooth application for reading Ask Me anything of messages, which are often made by celebrities and other persons of interest. This application, which was released on iOS and Android, is designed to help people filter through the son's comments, which could be thousands of answers to long. The big question now is whether the company will have a similar track with Alien blue and bring to Android, which it never was.
