Relay for Reddit review
A feature-rich Reddit reader for Android, with a subscription and no unlimited free plan.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Relay for Reddit is an Android app for browsing Reddit, aimed at casual readers, power users, and moderators. Its swipe-based interface brings links and comments together, while account support, feed filters, and moderator actions give it more depth than a basic reader. The app is from DBrady Apps, whose listed founding year is 2011. It is a mobile product for individual use, with email as its listed support channel.
Browsing and customization are central strengths. Users can add multiple Reddit accounts, filter subreddits and keywords, and adjust font style, size, and viewing layout, including left-handed viewing. Swipe-to-vote gestures and a rich-text editor round out common reading and participation tasks. For longer threads, comment navigation includes next and previous thread controls and word finding. Relay also loads links and comments together, with swipe navigation between them. This combination should suit readers who want controls over how they browse, rather than a stripped-down feed.
Moderator tools make Relay a more compelling fit for people who help run subreddits: listed actions include distinguishing and stickying posts and banning users. Pricing is subscription-based and plans vary by usage. The developer’s Google Play listing says more than 75% of users pay US$1 or US$2 per month, but it does not provide a complete plan price list. There is no unlimited free plan. Choose Relay if Android is your platform and you value its account, filtering, and moderation features enough to pay a subscription. It is a weaker fit if you need a free option or an app available beyond Android.
