As much as I hate the new design on web and never use it, I don't really have a problem with the app and I found the alternatives I tried to be sub-par.

What's everyone's deal with the app? Beside the removal of ads of course, which is understandable but undefendable.

what apps did you try? I use RIF (reddit is fun) and it's much better than the official app. The UI is much cleaner (looks like a proper mobile version of the 'old' reddit) with much better information density.

I tried Apollo for a few days before going back and probably tried one or two others but only for a couple of hours (I'm on iOS btw).

Overall what I disliked was that they didn't have the same polish in the navigation.

On the official app I feel like everything that is going from a list of thread to the comments, to collapsing a comment, to going back to the subreddit, etc. is super natural and polished and I didn't feel the same on the others.
