Thank you everyone for your support since 2009.

Thank you to /u/anon_smithsonian in particular for taking care of everyone on /r/redditisfun.

RIF, you're quirky and rough around the edges, but you've always gotten the job done. You know how to get out of the way and show people the articles, discussions, pictures, and videos they came for.

You have the silliest name, but we love you all the more for it. RIF will always be fun in our hearts.

RIF has been so much of my life.

I'm honored that so many of you have felt the same way.

Thank you for sharing this journey with me. It's been fun.

I can't remember why I switched to RIF exactly, but it was my go-to Reddit mobile experience for many years. I never bothered to look at anything else as it perfectly fit what I was looking for in a Reddit app.

Thanks for putting out such a great app, and best of luck in the future!

I can. I had been using Bacon Reader and something changed with it that made it so annoying to me that I looked for alternatives and found RIF and the rest was history.

Might've been the same for me. I know I was using BaconReader for a while too.
