    Bullshit. I’ve been using third party apps before the official one ever existed

      Before I switched over here and this situation started getting big, I saw a post over on Reddit that explained how the “official” Reddit app was actually a third party app that they bought out…

        Yup. They bought Alien Blue, swapped the logo colour to orange, made it the official logo and called it a day.

          This is not true. They also stripped out a shit ton of functionality.

            I was using Boost for Reddit, and I was always overwhelmed by the customization options. Absolutely loved it though.

      The official app was a third party app until Reddit bought it.
