Why is it always Apollo? There were tons of amazing third party apps. This was just another one that seems to be iphone exclusive, which who cares about iOS anyways.
Us 3rd party refugees are all family, brother, no need to be divisive.
Apollo was so perfectly made that going back to regular reddit is just impossible, at least for a lot of us. Wefwef is blowing my mind, it's like Apollo never died
It's not really about Apollo specifically. Or people refusing to use a Reddit without the Apollo app
Reddit is the site it is because of third-party assistance. The communities were all built and have been maintained for free by volunteer moderators for almost 20 years. Developers liked Reddit and contributed apps that made it useful. Reddit is fun, Automoderator, moderator toolkit, apollo, praw, etc etc. Imgur was created so that people could post images to Reddit and easily link them.
I quit reddit because of the company's two-faced approach to the people who have done the most work to make this site successful. The shitty behavior is nothing new, but I think that openly telling third-party developers and moderators to go fuck themselves was just a breaking point for a lot of people.
Because it was a great app and the dev was one of the real ones. I personally don't care one bit which OS you're using and hope your experience here is a good one.
There seems to be quite a fan club. I used RIF and Boost. All apps except the official were good.
Whether you were an Apollo person or RIF or Baconreader or Boost, spez told us to go fuck ourselves and we left and we are now family forever.
