I had bought the premium version 8 years ago for just like ~$3-5. that was such a great deal. i loved the ui and how smooth it worked. they never integrated all those new awards. it was just nice and clean.
I really really hate to see Apollo go, but at the same time, I hope other Reddit app devs follow suit. Absolute trash way that Reddit is treating not only their devs, but users too.
Saw this notification yesterday when I opened the App. I guess I’m deleting my Reddit account that day. It really is a shame—it was such a good app, and the developer seems like such a chill person.
Long time Reddit user; new Lemmy user. 14 years to be precise. I'm already loving how good the community is and how positive the content is without all them bots. I'll do my best to contribute!
This was the line for me. Apollo had great tools and filters which made Reddit usable. Even bearable. I can't be bothered to wade through the swamp without it.
RedReader user here. hoping that they switch over to lemmy, but thats a fair bit of dev time (would be happy to donate if thats the path they take).
in any event, the fediverse is my new home and I am more than good with what I have seen so far.
I literally just bought an iPhone with a large part of that decision being the ability to use Apollo. I'm absolutely devastated. That app is a hardware seller. It's the iOS equivalent of a Zelda title on a Nintendo console.
