It was one of the few apps I had on my first ever smart phone. An HTC Inspire. It never left any device I had from then on out. Forgot my old Google account from it and lost my first paid version license. So I bought it again.

When reddit started pushing ads and people were complaining, I had zero idea any of that was going on because I never used the website, only visited via this app. RiF stayed the same (visually and layout) for practically the entire time. So much so that the burn in on my older phones was RiF's layout.

Will sorely miss it. And I may visit reddit every once in a while to check on my favorite niche subs but it'll be like, maybe twice a week when with RiF it was multiple times daily.

Thank you, talklittle!

I just reached 10 years with RIF. According to an app "Purchased Apps" I bought RIF golden platinum for $1.84 on June 13, 2013.

Reddit was definitely more fun with RIF.

January 2014 for $1.99.

Can't say I didn't get my money's worth.
