Description

Apollo was an iOS app for browsing Reddit from 2015 to 2023. In 2023 Reddit announced significant price changes to their API, going from free to potentially costing tens of millions of dollars per year, with 30 days notice before developers would start incurring charges. As a result, Apollo was forced to shut down after the better part of a decade building for an incredible, supportive community. With over 100,000 five star ratings, and many accolades, I was incredibly proud of what Apollo accomplished. The app now exists in a commemorative/historic state, with a thank you message, the option to unlock a Goodbye Apollo wallpaper pack, and options to export data if you had the app downloaded previously (shake the device), and all previous app icons are now automatically unlocked. You can also use the app as a hub to get updates about other things the developer (Christian Selig) is working on. Again, thank you so much for all the years of fun, it was the honor of a lifetime building the app for all of you!

    Even though it doesn’t display the website anymore. Champagne for this dev, real pain for Reddit
  • I stopped using Reddit when Apollo died

    There were more reasons than the API change. I had been a user for 15+ years and the communities had changed. A lot more arrogantly incorrect knowitalls in every thread. Downvotes weaponized as standard practice. But Apollo was so great it made Reddit usable. That was the final straw and I touched grass for the first time in years. Years. Thanks Apollo for all those good times
  • Amazing app

    I just wanted to say that Christian’s the developer for this app, is amazingly responsive and puts a lot of work into this app. If you intend to use reddit I can't recommend Apollo enough! 2024 edit; this is now a memorial for Apollo. Such a great app, made with love and care, destroyed by the greed of corpo-rat monsters. Christian, thanks for everything you did. Hope you find lots of money and joy in other avenues.
  • Thank you

    By Christian is a sellout
    Let me at least pay for my api usage this is buffoonery to disable the app when I paid for it (and might be convinced for more if I hadn’t seen pals). I wish I could support the developer but his loyalty today is as useful as a floppy drive. The new pal app is bad too. I pray he focuses on ux rather than selling product in the future.

    This app was the best way to browse reddit. Christian, the creator of Apollo, deserves so much credit for the incredible work he put into it. Many subtle features were added over the years, and they all contributed to an amazing experience. I still miss this app so much. Probably the best iOS app ever released.
  • It was perfect

    And I deleted my Reddit account when this app was forced to shut down, because Reddit is awful.
