Does anyone mind elaborating why it is/was called sync and what it’s/was used for? Did it sync with anything or is it just another app like Apollo and RIF?
It originally had a “sync” feature that would download your frontpage and all the comments (and/or other chosen subreddits as well I think) for offline browsing. It was very useful when I used to commute via bus and had a very spotty internet connection.

Huh, it’s an interesting piece of history. Was this feature deprecated, or did I just never found it/forgot about it?
it’s still in the app, just that you have to find it
I used it on plane flights
