This app.

Finally tried the official Reddit app. It's as bad as they say.

It's simple, really.
if you have Reddit app installed, uninstall it first
download revanced manager and install the apk. https://revanced.app/
find Reddit app's apk in apkmirror.com and download it
open revanced manager and select Patcher -> "select an application" -> storage and select the downloaded Reddit apk.
make sure "disable ads" is in the list of selected patches
run the patcher, wait until it completed
don't install the resulting apk right away yet. Instead, open the "..." menu on the top right of the screen and backup the patched apk
close the revanced manager app and open your file manager. Locate the patched apk you just backed up in the download folder, then install it.
Note that I haven't actually tested this with actual Reddit app.
Edit: oops, replied to a wrong thread
- Instructions unclear: iPhone now running Windows Subsystem for Android. Plz help.
  
  Very simple. Download now an Android Subsystem for iOS and you can use an iPhone in an Android in an iPhone.
  
  Deeper. We have to go deeper!
- That fixes the ads but still the official reddit app is a huge backstep from the now cutoff apps that made browsing reddit a pleasure. It's just a rippoff off all the terible algorihtm based Facebook, Twitter and Instagram apps that constantly show me posts that i've neither subscribed to nor I am interested to see. It's a shame.
  
  There is an option in revanced manager to patch reddit sync to use your own oauth client id. I just tried it out and the patched reddit sync just crashed when it start loading the frontpage. oh well.
  
  Works perfectly fine for me. Did you use the right APK that's linked in the Google Docs with the instructions?
  
  I actually tried with latest version of Sync Dev already installed in my phone. What version are you using? Also, which google docs? I only follow the instruction in revanced manager that said to put the client id string in /data/storage/emulated/0/reddit_client_id_revanced.txt
  
  Here's the full instructions. Also, you have to uninstall all versions of Sync before you start patching. The guide I linked has everything from creating your own API key to running the patcher.
  
  Tried using one version behind instead of the most recent version and it works!
- Does this work for YouTube?
  
  Yes, it's initially made to patch youtube. The recommended youtube apk to patch right now is v18.19.35, or you can download pre-patched apk of youtube here: https://github.com/revanced-apks/build-apps/releases . You'll also need to install Vanced MicroG if your phone is not rooted.
  I also saw patched reddit apk there fwiw.
