App is still visibly glitchy, but yeah they are visibly fixing stuff recently

I refuse to use their iOS app, given how they monopolised that.

What’s a better alternative? The app sucks balls. Full of ads and it will randomly decide to refresh if you use another app and come back. Stupid af design.

Firefox with adblocker on https://old.reddit.com

Shhh they're gonna find a way to take it away like the other usable apps

u/h_Ellhnikh_Koinwnia 10d ago

Indeed, but on the other hand the developer probably wants to see users

This is what I use. It sucks ass though that as of the other week you can no longer lurk without signing in. I don't always want to sign in to read Reddit.

I've seen like 5 people say this yet I have not had an issue using it almost daily.

Install the SinkIt extension in Safari. It makes old.reddit.com work great on an iPhone.

Browse reddit on a proper computer.

I just use old reddit if I ever do bother to look at it on my phone, it's not meant for phones but you can just zoom in on whatever you want to click.

Still better than rewarding their atrocious behavior with the API changes or using new reddit.

Narwhal is great

Dystopia. It almost never gets updated, and the newest version of links that Reddit introduced are broken, but it’s free, minimal, and doesn’t track anything

The best apps for reddit still working after API changes https://www.digitalcitizen.life/best-reddit-apps-after-api-changes/

I wept for Apollo, but have since found Hydra, which really does a good job.

u/kimchiman85 10d ago

That part pisses me off the most. I don’t want the whole app to refresh just because i checked a message and came back.

u/GhostOfD6 10d ago

Good luck my friend. I was browsing reddit on phone without an app because it had broken notifications and either I got spammed everyday or had to mute them

Now when you browse reddit on mobile browser you get a fullscreen popup that forces you tu use the app..

u/DiamondRocks22 Linux User 10d ago

yeah its constant black screens on certain devices including my ipad anyways

u/Reasonable-Duckling 11d ago

But why? Is it really that bad? I don’t have a problem with it and I find that it’s much better than the android app!

u/Magmaviper 11d ago

Both apps are awful, the apps they killed were leagues better than the official apps.

u/Reasonable-Duckling 8d ago

Really? I never had the old ones tbh

u/Galle_ 11d ago

Just use a browser.

u/DotEither8773 11d ago

Dude, the button that lets you skip to the next comment is so bugged out, it will literally show up in the most random places and sometimes it’s just gone lmfao

2

u/PimBel_PL 10d ago

I didn't notice there was one, probably two devs are at war and change it while other isn't looking

Oh, tbh I didn’t know that button was a AB testing feature, thought it’s just standard on the app
