I don’t think the official app is awful - yet. But It was clear when they jacked up API prices it was about making better software than theirs disappear so they could fill their own with ads, more ads, popups, notifications, privacy infringement and all the rest.

I just deleted it. If I need to access Reddit from a phone, I use an webapp link on the launcher which shows their site through Firefox. Strips out all the ads out too while its at it. I also do the same for Twitter.
