Always used RIF, the stock Reddit app has always been unusably terrible.
Technology
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I don't plan to use reddit anymore if I can help it, other than to find specific answers to things. I'll no longer just browse. That said, up until now I exclusively used RiF. I refuse to touch the official app, and use old.reddit and ad blockers.
I was using Sync for years and years. This month, I deleted all my Reddit accounts. That was a well polished app and I'll definitely miss it, but I'm not really missing Reddit itself.
Slide for Reddit was my app of choice. Now I'm just waiting for my CCPA data export request to come back to me. Once that's done, all the old accounts are going in the shredder.
I wouldn't say "currently", but I used to use Infinity.
Well, I technically still use Boost, though I haven't really used reddit since the 11th.
Apollo user here. After this latest direction from Reddit's CEO I left the platform. I am waiting until after June 30th before taking a more permanent action with my Reddit Account. I hope Spez comes to his senses and works with 3rd party devs, but I know this isn't likely to happen.
Bacon Reader then Sync
I use Redder on iPad for the last several years. It apparently hasn’t been updated in 2 years, and I have no idea if there is a userbase of any size.
Just bought the Mac version of Redder about two months ago….
Boost
Relay until the blackout, browser only now since I've uninstalled everything reddit after.
I did, Apollo, before leaving Reddit for good. It was the reason why I used Reddit in the first place.
I used BaconReader for a long time and then switched to Relay several years ago. I'm going to miss it dearly.
Not currently using Reddit, but I started out with baconreader, and have been using Joey for a few years now.
I been using Apollo for some time. I'll use it until the end of the month when it goes dark and that will it for daily Reddit browsing.
I've bounced around through a couple different apps over my almost 14 years on that site. I never loved the official app.
- RiF
- Sync
- Apollo (for my Apple devices)
- Relay, though has been my go to for the past years though.
I used Baconreader on Android but I may have subscribed to RSS at one time too. 14 years but not so much recently.
Never was a heavy user. I was using infinity, uninstalled before api change was announced actually.
Back on Android I used sync. Now on iOS I use slide.
Apollo user here.
I originally started on iOS with Alien Blue waaaay back when, but after swapping to an Android device I swapped to RiF.
No, and I don't give a shit about them or app developers. Sorry, i know I am supposed to fIGhT ThE PoWeR or something, but couldn't care less. Fed up of reading about it, in fact I'll probably stop using beehaw because that's all there is to read - reddit this reddit that. BORING
Former Apollo user here.
I'm still using Infinity For Reddit until the app doesn't work anymore.
Used to use Apollo and Reddit sync now switched over to Jeroba for Lemmy (android) and pwa for iPad
Might consider sync for Lemmy after it develops.
I used Apollo for over 5 years. Before that, I had an Android, so I used Baconreader and later Relay. Before THAT, I used Alien Blue.
Ever since the blackout, I have only visited Reddit once. Definitely making Lemmy my primary forum nowadays.
I used Apollo until roughly a week ago or so when I started to detach from Reddit. Now it‘s since been uninstalled.
Apollo still works. I will use it until it does not. And then - cold turkey.
My main reason to rush was that I felt disgusted any time I opened it, because I kept seeing comments from people who didn‘t give a fuck and supported spez. I’m used to feeling like shit and doom when browsing Reddit, but disgust was a new one.
So I pulled the plug early and overall, I feel good here now, I can share in some negative news about Reddit which makes me feel less alone and also participate in new and growing communities, it‘s awesome.
Only thing I miss is the app, Apollo was a wonderful app and you could tell a labor of love, RIP. I can see why you might want to use it till its last day.
Me. I use Slide for Android, an #openSource one (do we do hashtags here, can't recall!)
Trying to avoid Reddit at the moment... but Apollo is my go-to on iOS, rif is fun on Android. Both are shutting down at the end of the month so here I am!
