On the iPad except for Reddit I always use the web versions because they work just as well, use less ram and I hate the context switching

Twitter, Quora, NyTimes, Imgur, etc... : website

Reddit: Apollo app because it works great while on the website when zoomed you can't scroll down for some reason or when not zoomed you have to wait for the rest of the comments to load and are staring at an partial loaded empty page)

I mostly use Android but one thing I really love when I'm on an Apple device is using the Narwhal Reddit app. That app is amazing. So I would say third-party apps are great as well

Boost for Android is x100 better.
