The desktop experience is great. I gave up on the app due to freezes/crashes on iOS 12. In a hunt for alternatives, found this app, which is more than comparable.

That's what I use since forever. Can recommend. Be sure to edit settings to your liking also.

Edit: I was going to edit the post to include a link to the Android app I use (that mostly seems to embed the site), but it seems to have been removed from Play store. No idea why, works fine on my phone.

Thanks
