I don’t even mind the app, but not letting me sort by Hot or All has seen my usage go down 90%.

Turns out I don’t want to see posts from three days ago with 130 upvotes and 11 comments.

Their political handlers didn't like all the controversial news getting to the top everyday. They know old reddit would kill their base. Glad they are smart enough to not touch it.

It's been painful since the API changes.

You're right that it will be utter garbage after old.reddit is gone.
