On a whim I decided to give the official app a try because a lot of people will be forced to use it, if they decide to stay on Reddit.

Holy hell, it’s just slow. Can’t scroll through a subreddit without annoying hitches and stutters. Comments aren’t any better also.

On the other hand, Sync is just fucking gorgeous and runs immensely better than the encumbered official app.

How can apps made by small teams or even a single person be better optimized than one supposedly made by a larger team with a larger development budget?

    What makes it worse is they killed off a perfectly good TPA (alien blue) for the dev to help create their app. Which is one of the worst apps I’ve seen, using Reddit as a web wrap is better than the app.
