    I actually only ever used the official Reddit app. I wasn’t really aware of 3rd party apps before all this API stuff kicked off. (I’m genuinely not an AI!)

    It is full of ‘promoted’ posts and presumably the other apps were better but that ship has sailed. But maybe people are saying they’re happy with the official app because like me they were uneducated about the alternatives on offer and they’re just used to it now.

      I’d often see posts complaining about the default app, mostly about how the video player never worked or how things took forever to load.

      Most people in the comments seemed to assume there was just no possible alternative. I was happy to extoll the virtues of 3rd party apps, though I doubt I had much of an audience.
