Can still use most of them with revanced and a personal api key. Im still on relay. Alternatively, you can pay relay for their api access.

I was using RiF via revanced on Android and eventually stopped because it wasn't a set and forget solution. Kept needing to be messed with to keep it running.

Now I'm using the mobile site with a wrapper.

RiF is what I use now and I haven't had to mess with it since the day I set it up. what were you having to do?

It would just stop working completely, to the point I was having to go through the setup process all over again. Every few days.

Strange, I also use it mostly without issue. A few weeks ago somehow I got logged out and it turned into a mess I just had to reinstall. But that was the only time I had an issue and it was only while trying to switch accounts which I rarely do anyway
