Dude, it’s so bad. The hordes of people defending reddit, saying, “the official app isn’t even bad! Stop complaining! You’re just too autistic to learn something new!” we’re either liars or have no idea what a good app looks like. The official reddit app has tons of ads that are designed to look like regular posts. It’s so stuttery. It constantly loses your place. You can’t change the home page sort. Read posts get demoted, so after it refreshes on its own without your permission, you can’t find your read posts again.
It’s by far one of the worst apps I have ever used. How it has even been released is beyond me.

Bots. Many pro-reddit pro-official-app comments were proven to be bots during the height of the protests.
Reddit literally has a long, long history of using bots to make the site seem like it has more engagement, even from the early days of the site.

I used the official for about idk most of my Reddit time (which was only 2 or 3 years) and Apollo for 11 months and would’ve been a year but yeah :(
Anyways I didn’t realize how much I disliked the layout of the official app until I switched to Apollo
