Reddit finally has an official app, hopes to get it upvoted

The front page of the internet is now on the front page of the App Store, as Reddit released its first-party app for on-the-go browsing of user-generated content, (i.e. cat GIFs galore.)

Reddit has been no stranger to the mobile space, with its open API being used to fuel a bevy of third-party redditing apps like BaconReader and Alien Blue – the latter of which was crowned as Reddit's "official" app back in 2014. However, there hadn't been an app actually developed by Reddit until this point.

Alex Le, Reddit's VP of consumer product, made the announcement today (via Reddit submission, obviously) and proceeded to field fellow redditors' queries about the new app, which is now available for both iOS and Android devices.

The launch version of the app can not only browse the site, but also search the website's wide selection of hyper-specific subreddits, submit content, customize its appearance, and tweak its appearance for compacted or expanded viewing.

While the introduction of a truly "official" Reddit app may spell the end of third-party counterparts, Le commented on the announcement thread that the site "will continue to support" their open and free API for other developers to work with.

Also, users who sign up for the app with a verified Reddit account get three months of Reddit gold – the site's premium subscription service – for free, which is all the incentive we'll need when we dive back into r/aww on the commute home.










Updated: How to delete all email in iOS 9

Updated: How to delete all email in iOS 9

UPDATED! Now that iOS 9 is out, mass-deleting those unwanted emails got a whole lot simpler.

We've heard you. We've heard the complaints about not being able to easily delete all your email from your iPhone or iPad. There have been workarounds, but they've required weird finger gymnastics and they haven't always worked 100 percent.

Fortunately, Apple has heard you too, so in iOS 9 they've added a quick way to delete all your email. It couldn't be simpler - just go to your inbox, hit the Edit button in the upper-right corner of your inbox, then hit the Trash All button in the lower-right corner. You'll be given a prompt to confirm you really want to trash all your email; do so and your email will be sent to the trash. Note that this will NOT work if you're in the All Inboxes folder - it only works on a per-account basis.

Delete All Email

If you want to remove the email from your phone for good, go to your Trash (or All Trash) folder, hit the Edit button, then the Delete All button, then confirm. Now that unwanted email should be gone permanently!

However, if you're not yet using iOS 9, you'll still have to use a workaround. Select All Inboxes, press Edit, press the circle to the left of one of your emails, then press and hold the Move button at the bottom of the screen with one finger, then, with another finger, uncheck the email you recently checked. When you release your finger from the Move button, all of your email should be selected to be moved to a new location; choose to move it all to the Trash.
