The dev is very friendly and responsive to user requests. I hope the improvements keep coming. Buy pro if you can. $1.99 is very cheap for all you get. Thanks for a great app!
My new go-to Reddit client

When I first installed Monochrome a few weeks ago, there was a lot to like, but it was a bit buggy and the interface was just a bit too inconvenient to be really good. I feel like this update finally puts it over the bar from "okay" to "good". The UI freezes are gone, there are now arrows for upvote, downvote, and reply functions, and there is finally a gesture for upvoting.
Best designed reddit app

I've tried them all of the reddit apps, and Monochrome has the best design of them all, because it follows apple's design guidelines. I like my apps simple. It is also VERY fast, which I appreciate. The only feature I'm missing as a reddit lurker is URL schemes so the app "Opener" can open reddit links in Monochrome.
Best designed Reddit app.

Great design, feels like a first party iOS app. Only thing lacking is an iPad app
Updated Review

Update: I still can't sign in. I don't recommend this... Couldn't sign in. No compact view mode. Many features missing from competitors. Great scrolling performance though. Regret buying the upgrade but I'll revise this review in a few weeks. This app has potential and the developer said he will submit updates often.
Terrible

Really bad. Freezes up all the time. The stupid pop up that asks me to buy the paid version has no intuitive way to close it, just have to tap around hoping it'll go away. Going back to narwhal.
Alien Blue 2.0

This app reminds me of Alien Blue, just newer and with an updated look. Way smoother than the official app and looks better too. Will definitely be sticking with it. Also the fastest I've ever gotten the upgraded version of an app because I love dark mode. Give it a try!
Great Reddit app with great use of 3D Touch

3D Touch functionality is great and Monochrome makes good use of it. It isn't without downsides though. I'd like to see a few things added/changed: • Ability to favorite subreddits in the subscriptions list like the Official Reddit App would be nice. (Quick actions are great don't get me wrong, but only useful when launching the app) • The YouTube video player only plays in full screen. It'd be nice to have it play like the Official app does: ability to play minimized and with YT caption support. • Formatting options/support! Reddit Sync was my favorite Reddit app on Android and the formatting functionalities it had were great. Support for tables would be nice too. Tables don't work at all in Monochrome. Using the quoting format also doesn't show up properly. I'm guessing formatting support is just non-existent at all. Whether you're the one wanting to do the formatting or looking at formatted comments/posts. • While I'm happy that Monochrome plays the .mp4 versions of Gfycat/Imgur gifs, I'd like to be able to scrub through the .mp4 without it having to be full-screen. Reddit Sync also had zoom functionality for gifs when full screened, however, I'm not sure if that's because it only used the gif format. • While I get simplicity is the whole theme of Monochrome, some customization options would be nice. Using Reddit Sync as an example again: It had great customization options for the Cards (posts) UI. You could bold certain elements or change text size of certain elements (title, points, etc.) Seeing the user who posted without having to tap into the post itself would also be appreciated. • Dark theme shouldn't be restricted to having to access your location. Just use a time set by the user. As in: Auto-dark theme set for 7:00 PM (on until 7:00 AM). Overall, Monochrome is a great app. Better in a lot of ways than the Official app, but lacking in some areas compared to other Reddit apps.
