(MultiTab App was formerly known as 'FastFeed App' and has since been renamed.) [Notice] Reddit API Policy Change and Free Usage Limitation As of July 1, 2023, Reddit's API policy changed, and the usage available to this app became very limited.

To continue beyond that, a paid subscription is required.

Family Sharing supported. • Payment will be charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. • Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period, at the cost of the selected plan. • Subscriptions may be managed by the user, and auto-renewal may be turned off, in the App Store Account Settings.
