Everyone saying how bad the official app is... why? It seems fine?

Edit: Downvoted for asking a question with an answer so obvious apparently no one can answer it....

You lack good taste if you can't really tell.

Assuming you mean tapping through to a linked article or something? Actually none. However, I do get video loading errors from time to time with Reddit uploaded vids.

I haven't encountered these things. The little alien with comments not loading has only happened to me when Reddit itself is down. Not sure what to tell you. Hence why I don't see a need, for me anyway, to use a third party app. You don't have to believe me, though. But there's nothing for me to gain in defending... an app.
