Now that the Reddit exodus is about a year old and the client apps have matured, what's the latest state of the above question?

What app do you use and why? I'm mainly interested in Android but suggestions for other platforms are also welcome. And if you are using multiple platforms, what's your primary one?

Android app store says this shares purchases, location info, device ID and app interactions with 3rd parties... Voyager shares no data with 3rd parties.

If you pay for boost, it does not share any info with 3rd parties.

Do you have a source for this? I don't doubt you, but I can't find anything online that corroborates it.

"Trust me bro" from the developer pretty much.

I think it makes sense, they're a small developer and it's all stuff I'd expect from the ad networks so if you get premium you also kill the ads and therefore the data collection.

Only if you use the free version with ads.. which I wouldn't recommend. Paid version doesnt do any of these things.
