How many of you use a 3rd-party app to browse Reddit?

      Same. Used both RIF and Apollo through the years. Haven’t used anything for a week now.

        I had grown quite fond of the app Infinity over the past years. I uninstalled it last Sunday. I’ve also deleted all my Reddit content yesterday. Honestly I had thought it would be more painful to see all that go down the drain. But after a week away from Reddit I didn’t even care about any of it anymore.

    Define “currently”… I still have rif on my phone but I haven’t used Reddit in a week

      Yeah, “currently” is the wrong adverb to use. Relay and Boost were common apps I used and pretty much the only means I used to access Reddit. I only touched the desktop web app when I got a web search link.

    I mean, kind of…

    I use Sync and still have it installed, but now it just aggravates me when I open it. Not because of Sync, but because Reddit is just… bleh.

    Maybe I’ll uninstall it later, but I’m tired and lazy. Not like I have a longtime account to delete since I coincidentally did that over a month ago for other reasons.

    Do need to delete the one a I made a few weeks ago for NSFW shit. I’m sure Reddit will really miss having that 3 karma account.

    Before all this kerfluffle with the API, I have used Reddit is Fun for mobile for several years. I will be really bummed to see it go.

    I’ve used both RiF and Sync, and between the two of them I’d probably say Sync was my favorite. I hope both of the devs land on their feet, they produced amazing apps.

    RiF since I found Reddit so many years ago. I’ve tried others but they never stuck.

    I started with RIf for ten first few years and then switched over to Sync. I loved the customization that Sync provides

    Sync IS Reddit to me since I haven’t used my desktop for primary browsing of the site in years. It’s a shame Reddit is disappearing shortly.

      Yeah, after I started using Sync and they did the redesign, desktop browsing felt so slow. Even old.reddit felt clunky compared to Sync.

    Reddit is Fun for around 10 years, Bacon Reader for around 2 years before that. I have quit Reddit since last week and don’t intend to ever go again outside of the random Google search result.

    I’ve used RIF for nearly 10 years. I can’t stand the current state of the official app. It spends far too much time harassing you with useless notifications/info/recommendations for my taste and it’s a laggy mess.
