Yes, it's genuinely shite.

Before I deleted my account, I did give it a try and it's truly terrible and it's a shame they expect you to use that when basically every 3rd party app is better in every way. It's buggy, riddled with ads and doesn't have proper tablet support while both Sync and Boost did.

I know Revanced will fix some of the issues, but I'm done with Reddit out of principle of them throwing 3rd party devs to the curb when it's been fine for them to develop apps for years.
