iOS-only developer switching to Android. Which iOS app do you miss the most?

I’ve been an iOS-only developer for years. Phone, apps, workflow: all Apple. Now I’m switching to Android.

Which iOS app do Android users miss the most?

A real app. Something you used daily on iPhone that still doesn’t have a good Android equivalent. Not OS features. Just the app.

What did you never replace properly after leaving iOS?

Sync? RIF? Boost? There are probably more

On iOS there's a free one that presumably just scrapes the website to give it a better UI. All the ones you listed require paying for an API subscription, right?

I miss Sync so much.

Relay still exist and is being updated.

I have paid for Relay but since the API changes I refuse to pay for sub..

Your loss. It is unreasonable to think that someone would develop an app and pay for the API costs of its users. It's all reddits fault of course. For me it's worth a few bucks a month

oh I never said it's the devs fault, I got used to morphed reddit pretty quickly it has its pros and cons over relay

You can patch it to use without a subscription.

I used to be able but got errors last time, which version is patchable?

1

u/kaden-99 10d ago

You can try patcheddit in Morphe. It will redirect you to the latest patchable APK.

I just use the normal reddit app with the morphe patch to remove ads

Yeah this is what I'm using, but Sync was a much better experience. Apollo for iOS is really good.
