A great third-party way to view Reddit – Beam – has just gotten even better with a move to version 2.0.

Built to browse, the client does a great job of providing a quick and easy way to take a look at everything that is happening on Reddit. The biggest change in the update is a brand new interface that looks great on the iPhone. Developer Awkward also says the new version is much more stable and faster than previous editions.

Users can now easily access their Reddit Inbox from the app to keep track of any private messages sent through the service.

Other new features also include multireddit support and a subreddit search option to help you find exactly what you’re looking for. The app’s share service has also been greatly improved.
