There's a good checklist of app features, per /r/AlienBlue: https://np.reddit.com/r/AlienBlue/comments/4dqajk/new_reddit...

The big feature omission is no iPad support, which I am legitimately curious why they would leave that out.

If you are looking for a iOS Reddit client, I strongly recommend Antenna, which is amazing on an iPad as well due to Split View.

How are 3rd party Reddit apps on the security front? If I login through Antenna, is there any way to guarantee that they don't have full access to my Reddit identity and credentials? Or is that the risk of going with them?
They all were forced to switch to oauth with reddits latest api changes. Which means you see a very ugly screen for a while during login.
Second this. Antenna is my go-to client on iPad
Prolly due to having limited dev/qa resources? (complete guess)
Dev? I wouldn't think so. Autolayout and size classes handle most of that.
They do if you want an interface that's similar but scaled up. Alien Blue for iPad was different though in that you had multiple columns open at once, which probably did require more dev time to handle. I'm thinking they wanted a more tailored experience for iPad and didn't have time to design/implement it. Too bad though.
