Reddit is working hard on its mobile app

Reddit likes to call itself the front page of the internet, but if you’re not part of the inside circle, it’s a little bit difficult to describe what the website is all about. That’s because Reddit can be viewed as a social media platform, or a news platform, but all in all it is an entertainment provider.

However, despite Reddit’s great and growing popularity, they still lack an official Android app. But not for long. Apparently, a native Reddit app for Android is in the works and you can already check out a screenshot of it, if you’re extremely curious.

What’s more, we’re told that the application is still a work in progress, so those of you who have Android developing skills are invited to help build it. You can check out Reddit’s jobs page if you’re interested.

For the time being, those who want to browse Reddit on their mobile Android devices will have to turn to third-party clients that can be used to upvote their favorite videos or place a comment.

A month ago, news surfaced that Reddit was looking to start work on their native Android app, but now we know that the app is actually in development. Sadly, we’re not given an exact release date, and given that Reddit is still in the phase of recruiting developers, our guess is that we still have to wait quite a few months.
