Nope. I tried as a stopgap solution and it’s basically unusable. Literally unusable: sometimes after opening it from a deeplink from Google, the app can’t launch even after a force stop. It goes to a splash screen and calls itself “Popular” instead of Reddit, and the splash icon is some random community or user icon, and then crashes to home screen. No clearing cache gets you out of it, gotta clear data and sign in again. Not to mention, the horrible lag and slughishness.
They can’t fix theirs so instead of competing fairly, they shut down the API so you have no other option.
Did they improve their app after shutting down third party apps? I honestly don’t know but I’m thinking no and no to improving their search function.

I’ve never used the official app. I’ve seen screenshots of it.
The search functionality shouldn’t be tied to the app, though. It’s done server-side.
