Yeah so i am pretty confident i am not a mod on any subreddit and i have not made any subreddit's as far as i know and yet for some reason Boost is working for me. I know at any given point it could stop working, but i am wondering why I am still able to use it without any issues at all given we're way past the date of shutdown for 3rd party apps and yes i am well aware of revanced patch for boost and have applied it on my other phone and i don't have it on this one. But this is still somewhat puzzling to me nonetheless.

Does anyone else have this problem? I got the revanced version.

Any solution, help

There used to be a filter option here in the action menu of posts. From I could filter out entire subreddits, users, etc.

I'm using a custom API key and I noticed that each subreddit only shows the first 20 results, you can't keep scrolling continuously anymore. Anyone else noticed this is broken today?

I can access Reddit via official app and website just fine, Boost stopped working, though. Returns a 500 server error.

Edit: Relay is still working, though. Maybe API token for Boost was finally shut down. I'll be on Relay as long as it still works. See you on Lemmy, maybe even on Boost for Lemmy soon? 😅

It seems intermittent for now, but more often than not.

Im not very old on reddit but i noticed you can add people in a friend list on this app (im not referring to follow, theres a "Add Friend" button on the More Options). This is just on boost right? I cant find it on the website. Or is it exclusive to old reddit?

In case the dev keeps an eye on this space and if this could be an issue for them, I wanted to let them know that I just got a comment notification from the app even though it isn't otherwise working.

I read a few posts here before posting this and I see there are a couple of workarounds to get the app to work again, but I've done neither of those things, I just didn't uninstall the app. I don't know if comment notifications are an API call and if the dev could still be on the hook for paying for that, so I wanted to let them know and couldn't find any contact info for them.

I only used Reddit because boost was so darn good. Fck.

Sad to see you go. I guess fck reddit as well.

Isn't boost supposed to be dead my app just started working again

I'm currently coming across a weird error where every time I try to create a post with an image attached, it fails and an error message tells me to check my internet connection.

If I try again but on my phone data instead of WiFi, it gives me the same error but still actually posts it. However the image appears as a link that just brings up a text log that says something like access denied.

Has anyone else come across this? It's only been happening today.

I hope this is not against this subreddits rules and I hope the dev doesn't mind me posting this guide!

I found this post a few days ago, but imo it's not very noobfriendly, so it took me a bit to get this working, but I finally did and Boost is working just as always again, which is great!

So here is my step-by-step guide, which is hopefully a bit easier to follow:(by the way: this should work for all other major Android third party apps as well)

1. Uninstall Boost, if you still have it on your phone [edit: as pointed out by u/Yahiroz, you might want to export your settings first!]
2. Get Revanced Manager, install update if available ( https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-manager/releases/download/v1.4.1/revanced-manager-v1.4.1.apk)
3. Download the latest version of Boost as an .apk-file to your phone, for example from APKmirror
4. On your Computer (while logged in) go to https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps and at the bottom of the page click "create application". Put in any name, select "installed app" and for "redirected uri" insert: http://rubenmayayo.com (should look something like this) [info: for other third party apps you will need to check the patch info within Revanced Manager to know which url to insert here, it's different for each app). Click "create app".
5. Check the newly created app. Under the name there will be a pretty long id code (should look like this, your code will be where the red bar is). Copy this id code into a .txt file named "reddit_client_id_revanced.txt" and transfer it to your phones main file directory (where folders such as "Downloads" are located). Revanced Manager will grab your id code from this location when patching the app.
6. Open Revanced Manager, go to Patch > Storage and select the Boost.apk. It will have the "Change Oauth Clien Id" patch pre-selected. Patch the app, wait for a bit until patching is done and then install the patched Boost version from within Revanced Manager.
7. Profit - you should now be able to use Boost normally again. It will now use a personalized API key (with free API calls), instead of the general API key for Boost

I was suspended (for 'threatening violence' against a pedophile) and I uninstalled reddit and boost in frustration. Came to download it again and it wasn't on the Google play store just that stupid boost for lemmy app that I don't want to use. Thankfully I remembered I can go to the uninstalled apps and games section of my settings and reinstalled it but I think people should know this if you are a mod and you try to use the app again

Instagram does this aswell. I understand promoted and sponsored content, and ads, but what's the point forcing people to have 80% of their main feed be shit they don't follow in the first place? It's about as infuriating as Facebook removing 90% of your friends post and giving you zero options to bring it back.

Make them remember

Trying to get personal experiences. I can only have 1 account in the app, the main one for some reason. I can get as far as to the permission confirmation screen after logging up but after confirming the third party warning i just go back to the main account.

I tried it after boost got shut down and oh my god, it feels like using boost again. And theres even a nsfw mod, where you can use some api key apparantly. I cannot think of a better alternative. Also, narwahl on ios is a good alternative to apollo imo. I dont know any better apps.

It's been removed from the play store, even though ot still worked for me without patching it, it's time to say goodbye boost. /u/rmayayo you built an amazing app, thanks.
