I wonder how the ads will look like after users 3 months of reddit gold expires. I also wonder if the 3rd party reddit clients will also see ads, or we'll see a drastic API change to bring everyone to the official client and gold subscription instead. Hope this won't turn into Twitter API woes.

It will, the motivation behind this app is not improving mobile reddit experience (already very good), it's monetizing quickly growing and currently unmonetizable mobile users. So they will either make people to move to their app or find a way to monetize 3rd party apps.

Somewhat related: Does someone know what happened to the official AMA app for Android? It can't be found on the Play store anymore, but I still have it installed. I tried googling for info about it disappearing but came up empty. (It's a bit broken nowadays, questions and answers aren't loading. But I can still see the AMAs.)
