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?

I use Thunder. It looks nice, runs well, is actively developed, and the devs are very communicative and open to feedback.

It has my favorite user interface, but I feel that it bogs down after viewing a series of images. ~~I also feel that development has stalled a bit~~ (edit, I was mistaken: they just released a pre release).

I haven't found a better one, though. Next best so far has been Racoon.

Image caching is something that has had to have been tuned over time. It can be really RAM hungry but at the same time it can be dumb to re-download images if you have the RAM to spare.

Latest versions no longer cache a lot of images, but aggressive caching can still be enabled in settings.
