I suspect I echo the thoughts of many users, but to me, RIF really was reddit. It was an app I downloaded from a friend's recommendation in probably 2013, and is usually the first install whenever ri switch phones, also boasting pride of place right below where my thumb naturally rests on my home screen.

I have never had an issue with the app, and have always loved it's appearance and usability. Everyone that worked on it did a fantastic job, and I will miss it.

All this to say, thank you and goodnight RIF.

This is how I felt about Apollo. Same deal.

I echo these exact thought, except it was sync for me. Without question the most used app, always first to be installed a new phone, and had the designated spot on the home screen.

Makes me sad where things are going.
