Reddit today posted plans to launch its own official native Android app. Reddit earlier acquired Alien Blue, naming it as Reddit’s first official app, but it’s unfortunately exclusive to iOS users.
In addition to announcing plans for an Android app, Reddit is allowing users to sign-up and express their interest in beta testing the new application today. The first sign-up stage will last until December 18, and just a couple of thousand people will be hand-picked to help test the official app when beta launches in just a couple of months.
Here’s the official word from Reddit’s Product Manager:
“As many of you know, the team here has been working hard to bring our official native Reddit app to Android for a while now. 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..”
Reddit is looking to launch the official beta in just a couple of months and will no doubt open it up for more users soon. Reddit has over 200 million monthly active users, and simply can’t invite them all to the beta because, well, it’s a beta, and things in beta tend to be extremely unstable.
For users that sign-up for the beta, a private subreddit will be opened where feedback and suggestions can be expressed.
