From Wikipedia the Free Encyclopedia:

> Programs are also considered malware if they secretly act against the interests of the computer user.

There are two criteria that software must meet to fit this definition:

1. The software must act against the interests of the computer user.

2. This must be done "secretly".

I unfortunately do not know much about the Reddit App for iOS so I can't make a judgement as to whether it fits definition 2. I think I can say with confidence it fits definition 1.
