RedReader VS NewPipe

Are there any advantages to using the official Reddit app instead of something like RedReader?

{ "id": -1, "name": "RedReader", "description": "RedReader is a third-party Reddit app for Android, notable for being more accessible than many other apps. It was granted an exemption by Reddit to be allowed to operate for free, so the decision was made to replace the icon with Slide. (The icons for other exempted apps, such as Dystopia, were not changed for some reason.)", "links": { "website": [ "https://github.com/QuantumBadger/RedReader" ], "subreddit": [ "RedReader" ] }, "path": { "11-15": [ [ 37, 22 ], [ 39, 22 ], [ 42, 24 ], [ 42, 28 ], [ 39, 30 ], [ 37, 30 ], [ 34, 28 ], [ 34, 24 ] ] }, "center": { "11-15": [ 38, 26 ] } }

I've submitted it on GitHub

Feel free to submit a feature request for it but it's very unlikely available in the API

Nope. The developer previously mentioned not wanting to do that because it could be confusing to the user. Feel free to submit a feature request for it if you feel strongly enough.

Nope. There is a 3 year old request for a card view which might be able to show more post information like the first line. Feel free to give that a thumbs up.

Just use NewPipe. It's just a better Youtube client even if it had ads.

I have a 3G device still able to watch YT and a very old Kindle Fire that has NewPipe [1] installed for watching YT in bed (whilst my phone is on charge).

I don't see why not either - if the device was capable of H264 when it was released, why not now?

There is nothing you can do yourself as an app user, see https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/9764. The current situation will be improved by https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/pull/10580.

NewPipe

NewPipe on Android is also unaffected.
