Better features, less ads, smoother experience and in the case of Apollo—the one I used—it just looked much better.

- card_zero 1y agoSo apart from the ad blocker, that's ... features, smoother, better. What? Edit: I'm not trying to be rude (it comes naturally). But you just explained "great" as "better, with more". I guess smooth might mean faster, which might be because it isn't doing ads and tracking. It seems to come back to third-party being the crucial difference, and "app" not mattering.
- notpushkin 1y agoUI/UX is not that tricky. Caring about your users is the hard part usually. Third party clients could be webapps, too, of course.
- kro 1y agoApps can bypass websecurity (CORS fetch), that allows for third party clients for example on video platforms using their internal APIs. I don't think the reddit clients work this way though.
