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

I used Apollo until roughly a week ago or so when I started to detach from Reddit. Now it‘s since been uninstalled.

Apollo still works. I will use it until it does not. And then - cold turkey.

I originally started on iOS with Alien Blue waaaay back when, but after swapping to an Android device I swapped to RiF.

I use Redder on iPad for the last several years. It apparently hasn’t been updated in 2 years, and I have no idea if there is a userbase of any size.

Just bought the Mac version of Redder about two months ago….

On Android I used boost and reddit is fun. On iOS I used Apollo. Haven't been browsing reddit since then but did move to setting up an rss for two subreddits to use with feedly.

The two rss I set up being

http://teddit.net/r/buildapcsales/?api&type=rss http://teddit.net/r/gamedeals/?api&type=rss

Tried to at least lessen any benefit I might have to them by using a reddit front end to get feeds.

I have used reddit is fun for my entire 6 years on the platform

I used Apollo for over 5 years. Before that, I had an Android, so I used Baconreader and later Relay. Before THAT, I used Alien Blue.

Ever since the blackout, I have only visited Reddit once. Definitely making Lemmy my primary forum nowadays.

I did, Apollo, before leaving Reddit for good. It was the reason why I used Reddit in the first place.

[–] FriendCalledFive@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago

I use Boost

[–] techno156@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Reddit didn't have a third party app (just the compact and mobile interface) when I used it, so I picked up an app and never left.

I mostly use Alien Blue and Apollo, both of which are almost certainly on the chopping block. I tried the official Reddit app for a little bit, but my iPad Mini 2 is too old and slow for it, so it tends to crash almost instantly, or run rather poorly.

On my phone, I started with relay, but moved to Redreader and Infinity, since they were open source, and have better performance compared to Relay. I still keep relay around for the message notifications, since they're better than the other two apps.

I used Apollo on iOS and Sync Pro for Android. Deleted my account of fifteen years though

[–] Meilindis@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

I've used Boost for years.

Boost user here, sad to see it go :(

[–] Beep22@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Apollo for years. I check in on Reddit occasionally and will until month end.

[–] Larven@feddit.nu 1 points 2 years ago

Sync, fantastic app.

[–] james@lemmy.jamesj999.co.uk 1 points 2 years ago

Trying to avoid Reddit at the moment... but Apollo is my go-to on iOS, rif is fun on Android. Both are shutting down at the end of the month so here I am!

[–] Japonica@beehaw.org 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Me. I use Slide for Android, an #openSource one (do we do hashtags here, can't recall!)
