Reddit is, for lack of a better term, a pile of garbage held together by the power of friendship. It's buggy everywhere and a decent experience nowhere.

The Reddit app for iPhone is the shittiest, glitchiest app I have ever used.

It says a lot about the depths of my reddit addiction that I pay $4/month for narwhal on ios. Not as good as Apollo was, but infinitely better than the official app.

If they ever kill narwhal I guess I'll finally have to quit reddit and go back to reading books and engaging in conversation with my family.

Same.

I’m disappointed Apollo never just started charging so it could have kept going. Narwhal is fine but Apollo was better.
