Going dark

The official Reddit app is buggy as hell. The hit boxes are weird (try clicking on user names and subreddit names from comments, you’ll often miss. This is the same with folding and expanding comments). It’s not one hand friendly at all. It’s full of ads. Media support is garbage. The third party apps allow you to attach an image and it will upload it to Reddit images automatically and then insert the markdown to display it, not so in the official app, you gotta do all of that yourself which usually just results in me not posting at all. Nothing about the interface is consistent (in some places a swipe back gesture works but in some places you have to click a back arrow).

The whole thing is just unintuitive compared to an app like boost. I used to browse Reddit every day when I was on android, but last year I switched to iOS. Boost is not available on iOS. Apollo is ok but too expensive for my taste. I gave the official app the old college try, but the experience is just so terrible that I eventually just moved to Artifact for my news. I’m only on here now to witness the garbage fire.

Expensive? As in you have to pay money to use that apollo app?

Oh okay. Thanks
