Reddit News beta update brings early example of how Material Design is supposed to be [VIDEO]
It’s remarkable how many developers seem to miss the mark when it comes to following Google’s design guidelines with each passing version of Android. Reddit News doesn’t fit that category of developers, and they’re showing that again with the latest update to the beta version of their application.
Version 7.0 brings us a Material Design upgrade that takes advantage of pretty much everything Google has enabled with the new APIs. White space is used to its absolute best, rich and lush advanced animations are present throughout every corner of the app, and those buttons for navigating through cheeky Reddit comments and marking posts as favorites can be moved around to fit your style and needs.
Being a beta, the app isn’t without its rough edges — that’s just a circumstance of early access to these things. Don’t fret if something isn’t working quite the way it should: simply post a note in the beta community here and make sure the developer knows about it so they can knock out all the kinks ahead of a stable launch. That’s what these things are for, after all.
Want to give it a spin yourself? Join the community and have a look at the About Community section on the right hand side. You’ll see handy links to opt into the Reddit News beta on either the free or paid version. The update might not make it to your phone immediately if you weren’t previously opted into the beta, so give it a few hours and it should be on its way shortly. Watch the quick video preview above to get a taste of what you’re in store for.
