I wish the app logo was slightly different so I can differentiate Boost for Reddit and Boost for Lemmy. I’ve turned off app names on the launcher years ago and it has never been an issue since every app is different, except for Boost.

it’s too bad the stock launcher on android doesn’t let you change app logos. you can do it using most 3rd party launchers, but that’s probably not worth it for that one feature

  I think the Nova launcher allows you to have custom icons on their free version.

Is there any point having boost for reddit still installed?

  It’s still my primary app for Reddit.

    But isn’t it shutdown? That’s what the boost subreddit says and it isn’t available on the playstore anymore, did they implement some way for people to pay the api fees directly?

    It wasn’t shut down, it was just abandoned. Furthermore, the app store won’t forcibly uninstall an app on your phone just because it was removed.
    
    Whilst the pinned post says it will stop working after the API change, every other post is talking about how it’s working, new bugs that have appeared as Reddit is changing their API, and others about how they chosen the wrong method to keep it working.
    
    I don’t visit the sub but since i was interested because of what you said, I’ve found someone say practically the same thing as I did here. www.reddit.com/r/BoostForReddit/…/k2pp0ae
    
    I don’t know what the developer did exactly to keep it working. After the API change there was 2-3 updates within the first few weeks, and then I assume they removed the app from the store.
