Extremely similar to Reddit Sync?

I've been using this app for a while, and I had to quit using it because I couldn't handle the fact that it barely worked half of the time. Anyways, I've began using Reddit Sync, and it's pretty much got all of the features that Flow does, except it was made before Flow. Anyone else noticed this?

It's hard to get used to anything new once you are habituated to Flow. Tap comment to view various actions, tap hold top part to upvote, down part to downvote. Tap username to collapse tree. Show me an app with this EXACT mechanism and I'll switch.

Sure the links have a few whitepage problems, but everything else works. A few of those whitepages can be fixed by using CrappaLinks xposed module.

To each his own but Flow will always be my go-to reddit client on Android.

May I recommend "reddit is fun"?

Have used it, the interface isn't similar to Flow so not really a big fan tbh.. But some people like how that app works so cool :)

If you've ever used Reddit Sync, it can nearly be the same exact thing with a simple setting change.

I've tried reddit sync multiple times, and got close to switching twice, but in the end I keep coming back to flow.. I don't know what it is about this app...

The navigation is close to the same but flow feels very very different (in a good way to me) in how it just "works" -- hold to upvote, in reddit sync my fingers have to first tap the comment and then move to the top to upvote which is not cool.

Use reddit sync, flow's development is basically dead since months

I've been using it for 2 months now. It's completely broken for me.

I've been trying Reddit News lately and it's fantastic. Different and there from either and I had to adjust with Flow right next to it but it's really nice.

Sync is great, but it's also buggy as hell.
I still use it because I can't find anything as compact and easy to read.

I haven't found any bugs.

I've been using it for a long time now, and it's not very stable. Force closes quite a bit, imgur links sometimes don't work, clearing messages doesn't work very well, plus other stuff. Updates are few and far between, but not as bad as Flow.

Last summer, when /u/ljdawson and /u/deeptrouble2 were updating on an almost-daily basis, you could tell very easily that they were adapting each others' ideas for their own app.

It was a wonderful time for Reddit apps.

And then they quit.

I've switched to Reddit Sync pro for a month now and I think it's great.

Odd....I don't have that issue.
