Reddit blocked third party apps but they didn't block personal-use API access. With the help of some apk-editing tools that I won't mention here, you could import your own API key into a third party apps and continue using it fully (including posting and commenting). I'm using Reddit Sync still.

My API key still works, but my understanding is Reddit recently blocked the generation of new keys. So at some point my key will probably die too. At that point, that's the end of Reddit for me.

wait recently blocked? did they end up reverting the change they did back when the API thing was done? that was one of the things they did then was restrict API key generation
