Apollo founder Christian Selig said he's "heartbroken" about pulling the plug on the third-party app following Reddit's API pricing changes.

After Apollo’s API token was invalid, I deleted my account. I know it’s a minuscule drop in the ocean for Reddit, but not matter, I’m with Lemmy and the fediverse come what may.

Went straight from Apollo to wefwef. Smooth transition.

Reddit is Fun user here... I had 15 years on reddit, I was part of their FCC filing in favor of Net Neutrality... I'm not going back.

It's not just about shutting down the apps, it's about the utter disdain they showed the communities and the users.

Done with Reddit. Lemmy is the way

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.

There seems to be quite a fan club. I used RIF and Boost. All apps except the official were good.
