Apollo - A beautiful app built for power and speed.

Since many of us are trying to avoid giving reddit any traffic, this space can be used to discuss Apollo, our dreams of seeing it join the Fediverse, and to give our appreciation to @christianselig@mastodon.social for his incredible work.

still missing @apolloapp every dang day.

My single biggest #UI wish for #Ivory @ivory is to add an option to disable all the cell swipe actions and add a “swipe anywhere to go back” feature. (Similarly to Twitter, the Mastodon official client, Woolly, Mammoth, and many other apps).

It would greatly improve single-handed use (with a right hand, that is).

Alternatively, a swipe on Tab Bar to go back a la @apolloapp would be an improvement.

I recently started testing out Bean for Lemmy. Their community is over at !bean@lemmy.world. It’s not quite as feature rich as the others (it’s early in development), but the dev is updating it quickly and I find it to be visually stunning. It’s still on TestFlight, but it’s worth checking out or keeping on the radar!

Apollo was updated on the AppStore today.

1.15.15 Adds an option to download all wallpapers rather than having to do it individually. Also adds an option to sign up to be notified for my Next Thing™!>>

I think it should just become a wallpaper app. But fully dedicated to apollo icons. Or future icons turned into wallpapers. It's sorta clear he doesnt want to at the moment do anything with the App that’s big work right now. But opening it up as a wallpaper app for creators to take Apollo icons or make their own icons into wallpapers would be amazing. It would keep the app running and a community would be sorta born again.

I see that WefWef says you can export your subscribed subreddits to it, but I don't get the option. Is it too late now, or can you use another service?

I bought the wallpapers, but while I’d like to store them all for later I really don’t want to manually click and download 27+*3 wallpapers (per device)

Anyone know of a good quick way to grab them all at once?

I’d been using Apollo since 2018 so it really became my favorite and most used app. I made a ringtone from the “Goodbye Apollo” song in GarageBand. A friend called me while I was in my local Apple Store and I cried with a random stranger when they heard it. Tears were definitely shared and flowing in that moment. Thank you to whoever created this place for us to share our experiences.

Planning to do this later today. Hopefully it stays working even though I definitely will be using Reddit a lot less than before. Still awesome to see though!

used this app during the ugly alpha Testflight days. Loved it and how responsive Christian was. When Pro came out I bought it and when Ultra came out I got lifetime.

Any lifetime members make the jump to Lemmy?

Anyone still using Reddit ? What app are you using? I’m on narwhal to check once a day for 5 minutes and I’m done.

Had Christian been able to figure out new pricing with the API, how do you think he would’ve handled Lifetime subscriptions? Create a Apollo 2.0 and say lifetime was only for lifetime of 1.0? Offer a legacy pricing / lifetime only perks to lifetime members?

I really hope Christian can address this soon. Now that the settings in app are gone what happened to Chumbus Boop Button?! I’m worried.

For me it’s between Beans or No Space. I also wonder how chumbus is holding up.

Driving to a treatment appointment this morning realizing it’s the first I won’t have Apollo to pass the time with is sad. I tried to get Siri to play some relaxing music but because she is dumb she played “my way” by frank sinatra. Although it’s not what I wanted certain lines hit home.

Is there any way to still get the JSON file? Not seeing the settings tab anymore :(

They have a remix of “I will remember you” that I haven’t seen anyone on the internet talk about.

I’ve been refreshing Apollo every few hours just out of habit and disbelief that it’s actually gone just hoping it will magically come back. GG. RIP Apollo.
