Some users wonder if the dev will be charged for having it still up, others argue Reddit can't charge him without having signed a contract. Everyone is confused as to why the API change hasn't made it inoperable.

Why is Boost still working?

The r/blind mods said RedReader stopped working for them what a total clusterfuck to have the key accessible app not work while others are.

They broke toolbox's mod mail macros as well. Company is a complete joke.

The app still works for me. But I've been hearing Reddit has shut down the old mod API token, but not the regular token yet. So that might explain a little. However, RedReader was granted accessibility exemption so who knows what's going on.
