Finally tried the official Reddit app. It's as bad as they say.
Even ignoring the ads, it’s just an astonishingly bad piece of software. It feels like it was written in a weekend by someone who’d just finished reading Programming for Dummies.
Legit thought Lemmy was serving me an advert for a moment there...!
But yeah, the official R*ddit app is Garbo, they even bought Alien Blue years ago and have just failed to keep pace with Apollo, RIF or BaconReader. This API move is just a monopolisation of their content stream, hugely anti-competition.
Even if they sorted out their app, rolled back API to free, I'd never go back. Fuck Spez.
I got rid of it 2 years ago for Apollo and tried it again briefly last month.
Somehow it got significantly worse, you can’t even choose how to sort your feed anymore.
Holy fuck, that's what that shit looks like? That is horrible. RIP rif.
At this point you might as well design an app that is 100% ads and give the users a cut of the ad revenue.
If you are on Android and have to use the official app, I recommend patching it with Revanced Manager. There's a patch that will remove the ads.
Baconreader was a perfect app in every regard
Imagine signing up to Reddit to discuss your gambling problems and then on the first sign on you get hit with this 💀💀
Thanks for saving me that install. Been loving Connect for Lemmy anyway
The official Reddit app is ill. I think it needs a chemo.
Don't post that junk on here! ;)
why do you think sites want you to use apps so badly? To get around browser ad blockers.
It's simple, really.
Note that I haven't actually tested this with actual Reddit app.
Edit: oops, replied to a wrong thread
It was absolutely unbearable to use. Had it on my phone for all of 10 minutes. Left a 1 star review and uninstalled it
Oh god it's hideous
Back in 2021 Reddit released an update for the official app that caused scrolling to stutter, instantly heating up my battery and deplete battery life at an absurd rate. This was on Apple’s newest top phone at the time (12 Pro Max.)
I immediately knew something was fucky, so I switched to Apollo that same night. I checked back for about 3 more updates over a few weeks. During that time, Reddit never acknowledged the bug or fixed it. Since then, it looks like they’ve repeatedly caused the same issue with iOS and some android phones.
If they didn’t shit the bed back then, I’d never have discovered Apollo or realized it was better in every way - not just at not physically destroying my new phone.
And now here we are again, discovering new and better alternatives in Lemmy and decentralization thanks to Reddit’s incompetent fuckery. Thanks Reddit!
Ha I'm not touching that shit
The Reddit app is such unusable garbage filled with annoying ads.
what really makes me sick is -- these fucking people are completely devoid of any taste or pride or care. it looks like absolute fucking garbage and they do not care; they're wealthy beyond belief WITH OR WITHOUT destroying reddit, but still, they must.
But there's Cash Prizes!
It’s a cesspool
