Boost on android and Apollo on my iPad. Absolutely fantastic apps that made the experience so much better. I don't even remember the last time I used the ofifical reddit app. Though, I haven't used reddit since the blackout began.

Not currently using Reddit, but I started out with baconreader, and have been using Joey for a few years now.
I use RIF
Slide for Reddit was my app of choice. Now I'm just waiting for my CCPA data export request to come back to me. Once that's done, all the old accounts are going in the shredder.
Just wanted to ask if Lemmy has an iOS that is not in TestFlight or has its beta full.... Or should we just make one!
I never used a 3rd party app on reddit.
Yes, Infinity. Actually I used the official Reddit app until all of this hit the news. Then I deleted that app and switched to Infinity. When infinity goes, I'll delete it and I'm done with Reddit except on an alt account on my desktop. And that will just be for correspondence.
Former Apollo user here.
I don't plan to use reddit anymore if I can help it, other than to find specific answers to things. I'll no longer just browse. That said, up until now I exclusively used RiF. I refuse to touch the official app, and use old.reddit and ad blockers.
Sync for years, then when the dev had done one of his up-and-disappear-for-half-a-year's I switched to Boost. Now I just won't use Reddit.
Apollo (and Alien Blue before that back in the day).
I've bounced around through a couple different apps over my almost 14 years on that site. I never loved the official app.
- RiF
- Sync
- Apollo (for my Apple devices)
- Relay, though has been my go to for the past years though.
I use Joey, a lesser known but very customizable app for reddit. But I've reduced my participation there.
I’m not on Reddit right now; but I was on Apollo since it came out, feels like about 10y right now.
Reddit is Fun back when I was on Android. Apollo once I moved to iOS. I will sorely miss Apollo.
I've been using boost for a while now. Just felt right for me.
Libreddit
Sync, fantastic app.
before i quit i used infinity on android and old reddit on desktop
Well, I technically still use Boost, though I haven't really used reddit since the 11th.
Same here. Still installed but I haven't touched it since.
Used Sync for Reddit for few years. I paid for pro version after just few hours of using (super simple setup etc). Now I am enjoying kbin via mozilla and it is great.
I used bacon reader for a couple years before switching to relay and staying there for like 10 years or something like that. Tried others here and there but always quickly went back to relay for one reason or another. I'll be sad to see it go
Currently, as in up until the blackout: yes, Baconreader. I used it so exclusively that I only really know reddit as BR shows it to its users and I felt uncomfortable and a bit confused on old and new web reddit. I missed all the "innovations" new Reddit brought, never knew what people were talking about when they mentioned avatars and apparently missed all chats that were ever sent to me because BR would only show messages and comment replies. So without BR, to me there will be no reddit, because I wouldn't be willing to invest time into getting to know reddits official app. One, because it looks absolutely terrible and two, because I'm tired being treated like this by big corporations. You want to shit all over your user base, you won't get any of my data or money any more. Simple as that
I used a 3rd party app for years until last week. The bridge is burned I'm not going back.
I used RIF for years. Originally I installed the official app, but it was so bad I sought out alternatives.
For desktop I used the old.reddit site (the redesign was terrible!) I genuinely don't know how people can use the new look desktop site.
Such a useless poll
Not sure if the responses to the poll are skewed, but the vote suggests vastly different numbers than Reddit would lead you to believe
Me. I use Slide for Android, an #openSource one (do we do hashtags here, can't recall!)
I used BaconReader for a long time and then switched to Relay several years ago. I'm going to miss it dearly.
