The official Reddit Android app is about to roll out, and the team behind the software opened a sign-up website for the beta.
Even though Reddit already has an official AMA app, it's a bit surprising how the community-based website still doesn't have one that can browse through the main page and upvote, downvote and comment on posts.
Most people just use the mobile version or unofficial apps to browse Reddit on their smartphones or tablets, including Sync for Reddit, Reddit is Fun, BaconReader for Reddit and Relay for Reddit. With the recent announcement, however, it won't be long until the official app starts making rounds on the Internet.
"Now that we're getting close to having something to share, we'd love to invite some redditors to participate in the beta to provide us with feedback and help identify those nasty bugs so we can squash them before wide release," the team says.
To sign up for the beta, simply fill out a quick survey. The team has included a range of questions to have users of different types in the beta. Completing this doesn't guarantee a spot, though, as only a few thousand users will be selected.
You'd better hurry if you want to participate because the team is only accepting entries until Dec. 18, 2015, at 11:00 a.m. PST.
Take note that the team doesn't have a release date for the beta launch yet, but the product manager says that it might come in the "next month or two."
Back in September, Reddit released a sneak preview of what the official app might look like. Hopefully, the team will also release screenshots of its current work soon.
Nevertheless, the front page of the Internet is about to land on Android, and we have no other option but to contain our excitement for now.
