If you buy the premium version through the Play Store, there should be no ad code. If you do an in-app UPGRADE to premium, you'll still have the ad code in perpetuity. BR seems to have a tendency for this "dormant" code to pop up for premium users who upgrade in-app.
Tl;dr: Buy BaconReader Premium instead of upgrading through the app, or you're going to have a bad time.
If you DO decide to pay for the app, buy the standalone BaconReader Premium app, don't do an in-app upgrade. Upgrading leaves leftover ad code which has popped up even for paid users before.
I've been using Baconreader for over a decade. It's probably more geared to old people who like old layout and a Usenet feel.
No ads, of course.
I can't speak for IOS, however there is a separate app listing for pro on the playstore.
Here is the link for BaconReader Premium on the play store

If you are on Android buy baconreader premium. You won't regret it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.onelouder.baconreader.premium
Free version as well with app ads but it's worth the cheap upgrade.

All content, almost no clutter :) Good dark mode.
There's a free version too, but I think it displays ads on the front page.
Today is your LUCKY day!

Pro Tip #1: Download the linked Premium build. Do NOT upgrade your ad-experience build to Pro from within the app. The two builds are not precisely the same...
Pro Tip #2: As an Android user, I can only link within the Play Store. For Apple users, getting to the Premium point-of-sale is all on you...
There are no advertisements if you upgrade to premium. Just make sure you don't upgrade in app and you instead get the premium app. Saves a lot of headache with advertising bugs that people have mentioned in this subreddit.
If you buy in-app, ads will pop up at some point and then you'll have to search the sub to find out how.
But, if you buy Premium you won't have to worry about it.
Uninstall the non-premium, then go to this link and install from there. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.onelouder.baconreader.premium&hl=en&referrer=utm_source%3Dgoogle%26utm_medium%3Dorganic%26utm_term%3Dbaconreader+premium&pcampaignid=APPU_1_b13mVbvoKtCXygSGkZdQ
There's really not all that much to it. Install BaconReader, log in, and you have (I think) all the Reddit functions. Do your favorite Reddit shenanigans while you're on the go. LPT: Watch your step. Parked cars come from nowhere sometimes. :)

The problem is, op linked to a thread where their own comment is the only thing stating that BaconReader tracks location data, which they attempt to back up with a four year old article about Sprint buying OneLouder, and a three year old post of someone asking about BaconReader location usage.
If you look at the (Android) premium app permissions, it does not have location listed. Granted, the free version does list (approximate) location as a permission on the browser page. However, when I downloaded it onto my phone just now (as I use premium), I noticed location wasn't listed within the Google Play app, nor is it listed as one of the app's permissions within my phone settings.
And, as OneLouder has stated, if the app is taking location data, it is only anonymous general location data for location-based advertising (pretty common practice), and is something you can turn off.

Do not use the in-app purchase if you haven't paid for it already.
I have far too many apps. Here are the Christian/Christian use ones. Not all get used regularly, so roughly descending order of use:
This app works great for me.
There is a premium app you download and use. Uninstall the other one.

So I use 1 main app and then 1 other for "science" occasionally.
The main that I recommend is bacon reader. It is perfect for me. Has dark mode and file's everything neatly. But more importantly it has a pro mode. No ads. Let me say this once more...I have no seen an ad while I browse reddit in almost 7 years. Also you can download videos. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.onelouder.baconreader.premium
The other one I recommend is sync for reddit. It is perfect for flipping through images and videos with 1 hand. For science. It too has a pro version and I recommend it for also no ads. It can also download videos.

Now mind you....these apps are meant for those who are used to how reddit was years ago. So no live broadcasts, avatars, gifs, profile stuff,, and friending features. Mainly cause for many this goes against the very core of what many came here for. In fact sending direct messages is pretty much nonexistent. For long time users most of this stuff was a sin and still to a degree is. So if you want more a facebook/Twitter experience stick with the current reddit app.
For reference...this is what my homepage and profile look like on baconreader https://imgur.com/F5Tulsu.jpg https://imgur.com/NN6Sk8v.jpg

There are two versions of Baconreader on the play store. Did you install the premium version?
Premium is 2.00 USD. Worth every penny.
If it's iOS, I'm pretty sure you have to buy it in-app. I'm not too sure.
If it's Android, I got you
