The official app is hot garbage (kbin.social)

On a whim I decided to give the official app a try because a lot of people will be forced to use it, if they decide to stay on Reddit.

Holy hell, it's just slow. Can't scroll through a subreddit without annoying hitches and stutters. Comments aren't any better also.

On the other hand, Sync is just fucking gorgeous and runs immensely better than the encumbered official app.

How can apps made by small teams or even a single person be better optimized than one supposedly made by a larger team with a larger development budget?

I just took a look at the app page on the iOS app store and... the average review is 4.8/5? How is that possible? It's awful!

Because when they write a review, normies are reviewing Reddit, not the app. They don’t even know third party apps exist.
