3rd party apps came before the official app - in fact didn't the official app start out as a 3rd-party app before it was acquired by Reddit?

Yup, Alien Blue was acquired by the Snoo Platform, Inc. and swiftly killed.

But, hey they shifted the hue of the AB logo from blue to orange and yet the official app is a dogshit compared to the AB.

Style and substance only, not proper function.

Yup, they bought it just to scrap it and write whatever the hell the current app is.
