Overview

Features & Capabilities

Narwhal 2 is the most customizable Reddit client, designed as the successor to Narwhal 1. It delivers a fast, efficient Reddit experience with features tailored for power users: view any subreddit, a seamless layout that shows a link and its comments side by side, and swipe voting to quickly rate posts and comments.

Create your own themes, hide and save links to your Reddit account, and add new posts to your favorite subreddits for quick access. Because Reddit now charges for its API, Narwhal 2 requires a monthly subscription to use. Join the community at /r/narwhalapp to share ideas and see what's coming next.

User Reviews

Narwhal for Reddit is praised for its deep customization, fast and stylish UI, and as a strong replacement for the official Reddit app. It supports multiple accounts and is often valued by users enough to justify the subscription. Common critiques center on its paid model unlocking core features, occasional bugs or stability issues, and some rough edges in search/navigation stemming from its advanced settings.
Pros
  • Extensive customization with many adjustable settings and font options.
  • Beautiful, fast UI with smooth gestures and clean design.
  • Seen as a strongly preferred Reddit client, often outperforming the official app.
  • Supports multiple account switching.
  • Many users feel the subscription is worth the price.
Cons
  • Requires a paid subscription to unlock core features; pricing is a common concern.
  • Occasional reliability issues (loading loops, apps not loading, autorefresh cannot be turned off).
  • Some users perceive missing features or rough edges (e.g., search and navigation can be less intuitive due to customization).

Free until 5th slide, then there’s no option to use it if you don’t pay ANOTHER subscription pro

I’ve been using Narwhal for just about as long as it’s been available. It’s always been a superior Reddit interface. It’s highly customizable and NO ads. The Reddit app is unusable now because of how locked down it is. They spoon feed you everything and so many ads! None of that here. Because Reddit charges for API calls, you have to pay a subscription but it is 100% the most worthwhile subscription I pay for. The dev team is responsive and truly wants to make the best user experience possible. Not only is it a great way to access Reddit but is also truly one of the best designed independent iOS apps.
