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

    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 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.

    When I had an iPhone 3+ years ago, Apollo was the only way I interacted with Reddit. Once I switched to Android, I cycled through the choices before settling pretty happily with Boost. I don’t intend to access or use Reddit on mobile at all once June 30th rolls around, and after the CEO’s public comments since the protest, I don’t really want to access it on desktop either.

    RIF user of many years. Pissed at Reddit. Although I see the financial motive for the API, the scumbag disingenuous moves have me believing it has jumped the social media shark and I had to move on.

    Loved RIF, will miss the niches of Reddit, and this APIcalypse has opened my eyes to the deeper values of Reddit, but change is inevitable though.

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

    Boost is still my favorite. I’m done after the third party apps are gone. Going to block Reddit in my router to stop me on desktop haha.

    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.

    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.

    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.
