A comments section on a news site doesn't need high performance UI controls or native notifications.
- saagarjha 8y agoThe fact that Apollo exists and is popular (though, I personally don't think its controls are native enough) means that this isn't really true.
- Spivak 8y agoAnd Sync and AlienBlue if they're still around. It blows my mind that one dev is able to push out such a high quality product where the official app feels amateurish by comparison. It really highlights the difference between development that serves Reddit vs development that serves the user.
- ric2b 8y agoYup, Reddit Sync is great, Relay for Reddit also! The official app is such a disappointment in comparison.
- hombre_fatal 8y agoI found Apollo last year and was so impressed that it inspired me to finally get into iOS development. Until then, not being much of a phone user at all, I'd been convinced that mobile experiences were always worse than desktop ones.
