    Tried to search the web, but haven’t found any repo or homepage. Also tried searching for “sync for reddit”. It seems to just be a reddit client.

    Who the heck names their application “sync”?!

      It was named Reddit Sync before Reddit forced apps to rename a few years back for trade mark reasons.

      Sync was named for a feature it had where you could sync posts to your device for offline use. It was super useful as recently as a few months ago when I wanted to mindlessly scroll on a plane.

        Whoa, Sync has been my most used Android app for the past 5 or 6 years and I never knew the origins of its name. I just figured naming products is harder than most people think (trying to be original and memorable) hence the basic Sync moniker.
