I used to use RiF back in the day when it was still a buggy mess. I don’t even remember when I moved to the native app. I don’t agree with Reddit’s policy update (why I’m here) but I thought the default app was fine for normal browsing. I never had issues with the video player or anything else.
I use Samsung Galaxy devices if that’s relevant.
You’re not the only one, that said, I thought it really sucked compared to Apollo.
I’d use it in a pinch when I needed to use a random feature that Reddit was not exposing in their 3rd party API.
