That's why no one with half a brain downloads the official Reddit app.

Finally tried the official Reddit app. It's as bad as they say.

I have half a brain yet did download the app to see how shitty it really is. Rip RIF.
Rif is still working for me logged out. I've heard it doesn't work logged in, but I haven't tried it recently.
I mostly used slide before and that doesn't seem to work at all now.
Reddit "shut down" API access by disabling the ability to authenticate users. Everything else on the API is still fully functional. Of course, without being logged in it's a read only API.
RIF is never going to pay $0.24 per 1,000 API requests. Which means Reddit isn't going to allow those API requests to continue for long. They will shut it down even when you're logged out.
