That’s nice, but I doubt enough people would use it to have a significant effect on Reddit’s bottom line. It does require you to download APKs, patch them and install manually, which sounds easy to tech savvy people but isn’t for the common grandma. Furthermore it’s a bit bothersome cause you have to repeat it every time there’s a new version (at least a new version that you want or that’s required for continued access) and then there are all of those with iCrap, who can’t patch apps at all.
