Is it actually down? A friend of mine says he still has access to it. I don't have an Android, do I can't confirm.

Thank you @talklittle@lemmy.world , I've enjoyed RIF a lot since 2014.

I finally had to uninstall because I kept opening the app out of habit. But thank you, RIF, for all the good times.

11 years of reddit, something like 350k comment karma (10k post), and all through your app.

Thanks mate

RIF was my first and only reddit app since I got an android phone in 2015. I used to use a Nokia Lumia so I had a different app before the, can't remember the name, something with bacon in the name (E: Baconit!).

But 8 years of using reddit on my phone almost exclusively through reddit is fun. Every phone I've had it's occupied the same space, right next to my Firefox. Maybe I'll replace it with a Lemmy app or maybe I'll just keep it there as a memory. I'm still not sure what I'll do about reddit in general. I've been pretty good at keeping away, but occasionally I'll find myself going back to it out of a deep habit. Maybe RIF not working will break that finally.

EDIT: Was curious when I bought Golden Platinum and apparently late 2017. Funny story is that I never even used it. Was a small amount for an app I'd used for two years by that point to show support. Maybe I could have done more but it's too late for reddit now.

Picked up premium last week in support. Thanks for all you did!

Thanks for giving me a home for the past 10 years.

Ripe in Pisces.

Loved the app, thank you for making it.

I used rif for 12 years. Never found an app that suited me more.

[–] Kojak747@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Same here, I tried a heap of Reddit apps, and RIF nailed the GUI down, and made reading a pleasure, you could browse for hrs, then go for more hrs, it was just perfect.

PSA: Boost is best.

[–] shawnshitshow@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

it really makes me sad. I can't imagine how you feel. 14 years is a long fucking time.

I'll have that icon in my drawer as long as I have this phone.

Thanks for all the fish
