thank you for developing this app, it has been a fixture of my phone ever since I discovered it many many years ago.

Yeah, it was a super shitty birthday present to wake up and realize I couldn't browse reddit while I woke up.
Thank you @talklittle for having that app for so long
I didn't believe it would really go down until I saw it myself
Tried using Firefox for Android w/ Adblock for about 1 night and the user experience was as bad as using Lemmy, a site buckling under expanding user growth and in its infancy in development. So I said "Well, I might as well just use Lemmy".

I'm going to miss RIF so damn much. One of my favorite apps ever!!
Best app experience for a good part of a decade. RIP king
Ngl I was sad when I opened RIF today and it redirected me to the old.reddit login form. RIP RIF, Reddit was fun with you 😔
I've used reddit for 11 years and this was what I used it with mostly. Thank you!
"RIP in Peace" is one of the most annoying redundant sayings to me... not sure why it bothers me so much, lol.

My sweet sweet prince, farewell.
Thank you for RIF. For years I thought it was the official app. I once tried reddits official app when it was released and it was a quick "nope" back to RIF. Thanks for the years of fun.
Thank you for everything
RIP RIF :-/
I used RIF for a looong time, tried official reddit app once, never opened it again. Never heard of Apollo until recently. Thank you @[email protected]
On the other hand, Jerboa for Lemmy has started working for me again.
Most used app on my phone, it will be missed.
