The official app deserves 1-star regardless of the API shutdown. Even Jerboa and other Lemmy apps in their extremely buggy alpha state have a better user experience than the official Reddit app.
Thanks for reminding me to actually go give it its 1-star on Google Play!
Like honestly I wouldn't be too mad if the official app was actually good, but it's basically unusable.
And thanks for reminding me to do the same! It's crazy how much worse the official app is - it should be the best Reddit app, not the worst.
Exactly. For a multimillion dollar company, their app sure is shittier and buggier than 3rd party apps maintained by single devs. It lacks absolute basic features like text formatting shortcuts with Bold/Italics/Quote/List/etc options that should pop up over the keyboard while typing. Every 3rd party app I've used has had that.
