Apollo is attractive, but being closed source and giving all permissions to a social media account makes me a little nervous. It seems relatively time-tested, but even if the developer is benevolent it increases attack surface area.

It is honestly impressive how bad Reddit's mobile app, and main websites are. Its just so horrendous and so slow and so confusing, and so bad. If you go to a post, its hard to see comments, and if you click in white space it redirects you somewhere almost at random. It takes forever to load anything.

When a million apps are better in every way and the old site is better, its confusing what they are doing over at reddit.

Seconding the recommendation for Apollo. It's definitely a shock to get used to at first, but it's so customizable that it reminds me a lot of RES if there was a mobile app version of it.

+1 for Sync for Reddit. An amazing app. I've tried to use the official client for compatibility reasons, but the difference in UX is just night and day.

I've been a happy Relay user for years (Android).

RIF (Reddit is Fun) is a great android app for the classic reddit experience, worth mentioning for anyone looking for a better android app.

It seems to use Reddit API behind the scenes. So if Reddit shuts down the API, then this would be lost too.

You can also change settings while logged in to always default to old.reddit.com

I use browser extension to force old reddit

What about i.reddit.com for mobile?
