Now that the Reddit exodus is about a year old and the client apps have matured, what’s the latest state of the above question?

What app do you use and why? I’m mainly interested in Android but suggestions for other platforms are also welcome. And if you are using multiple platforms, what’s your primary one?

    I am fully on the Sync train. It does get a lot of hate here because it’s not FOSS, but it was the best app around for Reddit, and the dev converted it for Lemmy. It’s so far above and beyond everything else that I’m happy to pay for it. There’s a free version with ads, and there’s the expensive paid upgrade ($20). The dev regularly disappears for months, but when he surfaces, he’ll roll out a massive amount of bug fixes and features.

      Yep, nothing beats Sync, although the other existing apps are great, and have been great since the beginning if you ask me.

      If you wanna know why I chose Sync instead of any other app is because the damn app can survive even the worse ROM you use and it doesn’t matter how atrocious your RAM management is, you are likely never gonna miss the position you left when you minimize and open other apps.

      The app basically saves the state where you were and it is highly unlikely that you lose the track of it, even on aggressive RAM management ROMs like MIUI, it still stands better than the others, I experienced the same with Sync for Reddit.

        But it look shit because they show ads like post. If you want real solution try Re-Vanced. (Hopefully I don’t get downvoted by Sync user)

          Why do you assume you’ll be downvoted by sync users instead of because revanced sucks ass? It’s hard to set up and will randomly break requiring resetup (Hopefully I don’t get downvoted by revanced user)
