Red Reader is an open source, ad free, third party Reddit app that has been allowed to continue free use of the API due to its usage amongst the disabled community.
I’ve been using it for nearly a decade & continues to get ignored by folks for some reason.
I use RedReader sporadically for browsing Reddit. I like it’s compact UI style and customizability. Even when I had proper paid Boost for Reddit back in the day, somehow, the UI of RedReader made it more intuitive for me to use it.
I think one can technically use Boost still via patching it, but it’s a grey area and not worth going after when RedReader exists.
Either case, the official Reddit app has to be purposefully coded to be as unoptimized and useless as possible. The bloat, the wasted white space; it all stands testament to the travesty that is modern software design.

It’s also in the official Play Store, I believe.
