What app do you use to read redit (self.Blind)
submitted by themmama
Right now, I'm using bacon ready to read messages, but Nathalso to read posts as i like the layout of that app better.

I just use the desktop site myself. I find it's easiest and quickest just to use Reddit on my desktop.

Same. I use Gnus in Emacs to collect feeds of the subreddits I follow and just go to interesting threads directly. If a link is interesting i'll sometimes save it to Pocket, which is kind of accessible but I wouldn't really recommend it unless you're partially sighted.

I primarily read and interact with Reddit using BaconReader. The comment system could use some work, and they are slowly working on accessibility improvements, but I've just found that this app works the best for me in iOS.

I read and post to reddit on the desktop because typing on a smartphone is incredibly slow and speech recognition isn't perfect yet, especially with punctuation.

I look forward to the day I can ditch my Mac and use my iPhone exclusively for everything., and the only two things keeping me from doing that are reddit itself and the huge collection of streams on iTunes.

Can you get a bluetooth keyboard for your iphone? That solves the typing speed issue, at least.

does it work with voiceover? I did find the redit app very accessible.

I usually use the desktop site, but when I'm really bored I'll use the standard Reddit iPhone app, which works remarkably well. Layout takes some getting used to but it's definitely doable.
