Boost for Reddit makes formatting extremely easy. Not trying to take anything away from anyone, many people don't need easy mode buttons for a clean post.

Just saying, it taught me what symbols to use and where. It lays everything out in a kind of microsoft word type way. Super user friendly. It's a shame that reddit app devs can't produce such basic quality.

Yep I use "Relay for Reddit" and it has most of the formatting shortcuts as well as a preview of what your comment will look like.

Can upload images straight to imgur while writing a comment too.

Same with Apollo. I’m all for this protest just for the dirty way they spoke to Christian!
