    Despite the API protests, the Official Reddit app sucks anyways. It uses a ton more data and battery than third party apps, so I’d never use it again. The app also has a bunch of tracking built in.

      It also stutters like mad even on high end phones. I almost feel like making it work well would have required less effort. No idea why dozens of indie developers all did far better jobs.

      I didn’t even realize how much battery it used until I uninstalled it. I used to have to charge my phone like 2 to 3 times a day… Thought, well, it’s getting older, battery is just dying. Nope. Uninstalled it and I’m 10 hours into the day off the charger and at 81% battery. And I’m still dicking around on my phone just as much, it’s just in jerboa now… Lol
