The problem with apps is that they don't have tabs. I can only view one thing at a time, and the way I use Reddit (open a bunch of links in new tabs to read one at a time, or to refer to two things at a time) doesn't work without tabs.

It's the same with the Amazon app. The website is atrocious because pressing back after viewing anything shoots you back to the top of the page, but the app only lets you see one thing at a time.

I find Narwhal for Reddit a superior experience on iOS, ESPECIALLY on iPadOS, FWIW.

I've tried narwhal and few other apps, but none comes close to reddit (mobile) site when it was usable and light. I specially dislike narwhal's fixed gesture options. The app forces you to get used to something you don't want/like in the first place.

I prefer Beam to Apollo, to be honest, even though it's largely unmaintained. I think the UI is much nicer.

Apollo isn't really free, is it? And I don't see what's wrong with asking for things for an app in the subreddit which seems designed for exactly that?

There’s asking for something and then there’s being a Choosing Beggar(tm).

> complaints and feature requests for a free app.

eh, except for those who paid the 2.99 for the Pro upgrade.

I prefer the official app over Apollo. I used to use Apollo and just assumed it must better, but the official app has gotten very good and Apollo, while excellent, has many bugs.
