RiF, up until a few days ago when I decided to take an indefinite break from Reddit.

I’m not on Reddit right now; but I was on Apollo since it came out, feels like about 10y right now.
You’re asking a rather biased crowd, seeing as we’re on Lemmy. I’ve used Apollo for a long time.
I use to use bacon reader but now here I am
Boost user here, sad to see it go :(
I was using Joey but deleted it along with my accounts on the 12th.
Former Apollo user here.
I used Baconreader on Android but I may have subscribed to RSS at one time too. 14 years but not so much recently.
Reddit didn't have a third party app (just the compact and mobile interface) when I used it, so I picked up an app and never left.
I mostly use Alien Blue and Apollo, both of which are almost certainly on the chopping block. I tried the official Reddit app for a little bit, but my iPad Mini 2 is too old and slow for it, so it tends to crash almost instantly, or run rather poorly.
On my phone, I started with relay, but moved to Redreader and Infinity, since they were open source, and have better performance compared to Relay. I still keep relay around for the message notifications, since they're better than the other two apps.
Apollo on my iPad and Sync on my Android phone.
I have used reddit is fun for my entire 6 years on the platform
Apollo for years. I check in on Reddit occasionally and will until month end.
Same. I opened the Reddit native app during this whole controversy and it is so much worse. Not even because of the UI, but because of the frequent and sneaky ads between posts and comments. It’s just a worse / capitalist nightmare experience.
I used Apollo until roughly a week ago or so when I started to detach from Reddit. Now it‘s since been uninstalled.
Apollo still works. I will use it until it does not. And then - cold turkey.

ReddPlanet for me the perfect Reddit app.
I use Boost
I wouldn't say "currently", but I used to use Infinity.
Boost
I used to use Teddit.net and Stealth on F-Droid before the u/spez tomfoolery.
Used to use Apollo and Reddit sync now switched over to Jeroba for Lemmy (android) and pwa for iPad
Might consider sync for Lemmy after it develops.
I did, Apollo, before leaving Reddit for good. It was the reason why I used Reddit in the first place.
I was using Sync for years and years. This month, I deleted all my Reddit accounts. That was a well polished app and I'll definitely miss it, but I'm not really missing Reddit itself.
I've bounced around through a couple different apps over my almost 14 years on that site. I never loved the official app.
- RiF
- Sync
- Apollo (for my Apple devices)
- Relay, though has been my go to for the past years though.
Slide and now RedReader.
Relay Pro (android) use to be the app I've used for reddit, but I uninstalled it at the start of the debacle and will not be returning to reddit for the foreseeable future due to the nature of what reddit has become. It is no longer a community lead platform and instead a thing owned by a larger company with leadership that just wants to make money off of the people who use it. I believe the fediverse to be the future of the community that made reddit what it was and that community should not be owned by any one company/organization. There will definitely be growing pains and decisions to be made here on how best to handle so many things, but I have confidence in the community that it will be sorted out and we will get through the growing panins. It will result in a much better platform that will help take us through to the next stage of worldwide community, connectedness, and information sharing.
Apollo for the past years that I've been on iOS and BaconReader before that on Android
Always used RIF, the stock Reddit app has always been unusably terrible.
Relay until the blackout, browser only now since I've uninstalled everything reddit after.
Bacon Reader then Sync
I used BaconReader for a long time and then switched to Relay several years ago. I'm going to miss it dearly.
I only used the official Reddit app when reading Reddit on my phone. It was quite annoying to write posts with the app, but reading them was fine. I prefered using the website on my laptop though.
Was using Relay on android for the past like 10 years.
Just wanted to ask if Lemmy has an iOS that is not in TestFlight or has its beta full.... Or should we just make one!
I used a variety of 3rd party reddit apps (reddit is fun, slide, and infinity), but deleted my account after the API mess. I've been using Jerboa with Lemmy the last week or two
