The Official Reddit iPhone App Arrives

February 14th, 2009

The wait is over for all of you that have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the official Reddit iPhone application. According to a post this afternoon by Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, iReddit has arrived and is available for download at the App Store.

Not only does iReddit has all your favorite Reddit functionality: view stories, vote, comment, share, explore different subreddits, and save links for later, it also lets you 'shake' to get a new story; an idea, Ohanian says, that has been "floating around ever since I saw the Urbanspoon app."

While there are already two Reddit applications for the iPhone; open source reddit, a free app developed by Joseph Pintozzi that was released in December 2008, and Satellite, a $4.99 app developed by 3Cube Technologies released in November 2008, clearly the Reddit team wanted one to call their own.

An e-mail last summer "resurrected visions of a shake-able reddit iPhone app to cure away-from-the-computer-ennui once and for all," Ohanian posted.

Created with the help of 280North, the iReddit app is available for $1.99, with a free, ad-supported version in the pipelines.
