View submission: Out with 2016, in with 2017
I've been using the Android app since it came out and I have to say it is much improved now from where it was originally. Comments load much better now, until I comment on a post then it likes to show every comment twice. Also, I wish there was a notification for comment replies, messages, and post replies. It's tedious to have to manually check each of those separately all the time.

I may be the only one who experiences it, but the most infuriating comment issue is when you collapse the third comment in, collapse the second comment (so the parent to the third), expand the second comment, then expand the third comment again. The client just gets completely confused and doesn't know what to do with that third comment. Sometimes it will expand some of the child comments, sometimes it expands them all, sometimes it only expands the comments that were previously below the upvote threshold, sometimes it does nothing at all. If you're reading through a text-heavy comment chain and collapsing/expanding a lot for convenience, you end up losing comments and having to reload and then find your spot again.
Otherwise the official app seems decent these days. Not nearly as usable as AlienBlue used to be, but I've kind of accepted the fact that no Reddit app will live up to that standard.
