Finally tried the official Reddit app. It's as bad as they say.
More ads than content. Not suprised.

Before I deleted my account, I did give it a try and it's truly terrible and it's a shame they expect you to use that when basically every 3rd party app is better in every way. It's buggy, riddled with ads and doesn't have proper tablet support while both Sync and Boost did.
I know Revanced will fix some of the issues, but I'm done with Reddit out of principle of them throwing 3rd party devs to the curb when it's been fine for them to develop apps for years.
Lmao. I refuse to go back.
I stopped using it on mobile once infinity died
Honestly. I tried using the app the other day and for some reason its SO laggy. It's only the official app that does this too, I did not have this problem with Apollo or Sync.
It always annoyed me how the ads were formatted to look like posts, always felt like they were trying to trick people into clicking on it (which honestly that probably is the intent). Feel the same way with ads on Twitter. It's one thing to show ads and another to format them to try and trick users into clicking on them
i used it when i had to use the Reddit app for the duckduckgo subreddit
Don't forget to rate it 1 star
