Beyond performance, the entire reddit mobile experience is terrible anyway. It's advised to use the unofficial 'reddit is fun' app which is simply amazing in comparison.
I use Relay for Reddit. It's the best mobile app I've ever used, and only the second one I've ever actually paid for, there's also a free version which I used for a long time which puts ads at the bottom.
The interface is great. You can swipe for (almost) everything, which makes it easy to use one-handed.
If anyone here uses Sailfish or MeeGo, the Quickddit app for Reddit is excellent. It's on the Jolla store but it's also on GitHub: https://github.com/accumulator/Quickddit
