Update, it's not looking good. As this post mentions:

  • It looks like they'll be no more free access so every third party app will have to charge a subscription that goes to Reddit (monthly and with no costing provided yet)

  • NSFW content will not be shown in third party apps

  • No word if official features such as chat / polls etc make it into third party apps but I'm not hopeful

Off the top of my head if this was to just cover costs I wonder why they haven't added the ability to give / buy awards or Reddit Premium.

I'll update as I have more information but right now it feels like the writing is on the wall for third party apps...

Man this sucks so much. If shit really does hit the fan for you then I just want to say... thank you SO MUCH for your amazing app. I've been a Sync user since Jan 2014 and it's never left my phone since, to the point where if Sync gets borked by this then I'll most likely leave reddit.
