Reddit already has an official Android and IOS app, but it has conflicting internal goals that 3rd party clients do not have to prioritize. Purchasing another 3rd party app won't fix this, and would still necessitate the changes they are taking now (monetizing the API) resulting in the same backlash from the community. They have stated their goals to close the gap between their official app and the 3rd party apps, but conflicts will always exist which will limit what they are willing to do. Putting some of that financial burden on 3rd parties helps even that playing field to some extent.
