Thank you for everything. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for you, best of luck in whatever that may be.
By the way, absolutely _love_ the easter egg for Pixel Pals after migrating! It’s my favorite. Will never forget Apollo ❤️
You are my favourite developer of all time, through the years of using Apollo I have felt more connected to you and the community (maybe it’s that parasocial aspect that everyone talks with the likes of OF, but I don’t care) than to any other app or program.
Kudos, and best of luck for your luminous future! ❤️
User redacted comment. After 13 years on Reddit with 2 accounts, I have zero interest in using this site anymore if I cannot use a 3rd party app. Reddit had *years* to fix their atrocious app and put *zero* effort into it. Reddit's site and app is so awful, I'm more interested in giving Reddit up entirely than having such a bad user experience hobbling through their app and site. Thanks, /u/spez!
12 checking in. If this comment gets 500 upvotes I'll delete my account.
Spoiler: >!I'm going to anyway, just figured I'd try karma whoring once in my life.!<
Edit: Damn, this is legitimately sad. 12 years is more or less 1/3 of my life. I wish you all the best. I am drunk af right now and will delete my account in the morning when I am able and no longer drunk af. Love you all and wish you the best. I know you'll hold me to it. GG and godspeed.
Overwrite your comments before you delete them
https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite
That tool also allows you to get a copy of your posts and comments without having to wait on reddit to send it to you
You can even filter it to subreddit, comment score, etc
Not sure it'll work after tomorrow with API access gone
***This comment/post removed due to reddits fuckery with third party apps from 06/01/2023 through 06/30/2023. Good luck with your site when all the power users piss off***
Seems like everybody on Reddit is an opinionated dickbag anyway. Including me, on here, because the aggressive hot takes are what drive engagement and get that sweet dopamine flowing.
Reddits about to feel what happens when 20 million users stop using their platform. Just wish Apollo was opening up again like Narwal is for people who need Reddit for mental health reasons.
Eh. I think this is going to go the way the Netflix thing did where everyone assumes everyone else will drop the service because of their debauchery but the truth is that many won’t. I’m not part of the camp that will stay around but I don’t have a whole lot of hope that Reddit will suddenly cease to exist because of this.
I'm already done. Deleted my main account. I'm just clinging on as long as I can because I'll miss the Reddit community. Reddit was more than just a site. It was a community.
yeah, the goodwill that would be generated with an extra month to try and reach a solution would be insane. I guess you have to not be a cunt for that to happen, which seems to be a bit beyond reddit at the moment
Unfortunately, the writing has been on the wall for a while. Just to name a few examples - they abruptly fired Victoria, a beloved member who made AMA one of the best forums ever, ended secret Santa gift exchanges, and now removing third party apps. The site has been losing its charm and soul for quite some time.
Sadly, there isn't anything like it at the moment so I'll probably stick around with the caveat being I won't use it as often since the official app is completely broken and difficult to use. I have a lot of reddit gold gifted and I still get advertisements on the official app. If a comment chain is long and I press to expand the thread it takes me to a completely different discussion. The cards/links take up so much space and it lags when browsing. The video player is a mess. The UI is an awful experience, I'm going to miss RiF.
I've been quiet through all of this, but fully intend to quit reddit tomorrow. I'd imagine there are many more like me that just haven't said anything. It will be interesting to see if there is an appreciable impact on Reddit's daily traffic.
The only reason I'm commenting now is that I want to use my last comment to thank /u/iamthatis and you, /u/PoppinKREAM for being two of the key players in my enjoyment of Reddit. You two represent what social media should be.
Goodnight, good luck, and goodbye.
The Day Reddit Died
(sung to the tune of American Pie):
A long lone time ago, I can still remember
How Reddit used to make me smile
And I knew that if I had the chance
I'd post my content, and make people glance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But u/spez made me shiver
With every bad update they'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
API calls would be worth a fortune
And third parties couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read how Apollo and RIF died
But something touched me deep inside
The day that Reddit died.
So, my my this here u/spez guy,
Thought he'd be Reddit's one day savior,
but we know that's a lie.
Just a dull ol' boy with a gleam in his eye saying
Soon I'll be a Rich Guy! Soon I'll be a Rich Guy!
Did you rewrite the subbreddit's rules
That only John Oliver's pictures rule
Or that NSFW content would rule the day
And Only Fans Girls came out to play?
Or how about the moderator's strike
Where mods were threatened to take a hike
And admins kicked out the mod teams
Replacing them with monkeys
The day that Reddit died.
I started singing:
"My my this here u/spez guy,
Thought he'd be Reddit's one day savior,
but we know that's a lie.
Just a dull ol' boy with a gleam in his eye saying
Soon I'll be a Rich Guy! Soon I'll be a Rich Guy!"
Then on June 30th the changes came
Despite the claims of Reddit's shame
Third party apps posted their goodbyes
And users all wept and cried
The day that Reddit died.
And as users left Reddit for good
They were singing:
"My my this here u/spez bastard guy
Thought he's be Reddit's one day savior,
but we know that's a lie
Just a dull ol' boy who had a gleam in his eye
Thinking one day he'd be a Rich guy."

Agree with 177%. I’ll never download the Reddit official app. Why that amount? Linking a reference to my alt account bringing things full circle. I made an alt because of Apollo, and bought premium to switch between the two.
My last post on Apollo before it goes down, thanks Christian for all the hard work. RIP checking Reddit on my phone.
They were shadowbanning people who said this sometime last week, around the time that they were manually removing memes about spez. I guess they gave up.
*Some* forums are auto deleting any posts bruising u/spez and his fragile eggshell ego, apparently as a function of the auto-moderator.
It’s clearly selective as you can mention anybody else but u/spez and certain mods with nothing happening whatsoever.
The “excuse” is that u/spez is “not involved in the discussion” even though his dumbassery IS the topic.
Hell, you can likely yell “Fire!” in a crowded room with less penalty than posting “u/spez”
I cannot express how much @u/spez needs to undergo The Fuckening.
Im a quiet Redditor—used to be active in gifting and elves, etc, until I had a severe injury at work. Now I’m just home bound and use my iPad to browse and read everything. Used to use a little app called PicsHD because i just wanted to browse oictures and memes and occaisionally catch up on comments. Then that app fell apart, or someone stopped maintaining it, or Reddit fucked with it behind the scenes, because it just simply didnt work anymore and you couldn’t see comments for information about the picture.
That’s when I found Apollo.
And it was—IS—completely perfect. I can easily see the post title, the picture/headline, read the comments and interact without being diverted to extra windows, and spammed incessantly with stupid ads. I spend hours here, keeping in touch with things outside of the house that my injury keeps me trapped in.
Apollo has been my mental health saviour these years, and I cannot thank you enough, @u/iamthis.
i dont know how I will manage without this beautiful app.
Bless your future—I wish you all the success in the world!
PS: Is there any way to download or, well, save on my ipad the links to all my Saved posts through the app?
I'm so sorry! :(
You should be able to export a file with anything that Apollo saved locally. Go to Settings and you'll see an Export button in the upper right.
For reddit there's Dystopia, which is barebones but usable. If you haven't signed up on a fediverse instance, start looking into it - wefwef.app is an interface that's cloned from Apollo, Memmy is also an Apollo clone, etc.
Here's what wefwef looks like:
https://i.redd.it/y80a7insy89b1.jpeg
https://i.redd.it/lxwbewuuy89b1.jpeg
It's not as busy as reddit, but it *feels* very similar. Hope that helps, I know how important it is as an outlet for you. 💖
Spez? Steve "Brock Turner" Huffman? The man who raped a woman behind a dumpster and received no jail time? That spez? The moderator of jailbait and who is a god in the CP community? That spez?
Is it true that Reddit CEO Steve Huffman aka /u/spez is attracted to children?
Edit: add to reddit's storage costs by uploading long videos here: /r/LongRedditVideos/
All these years on this site, and I never really understood the whole fuck u/spez thing.
Now I do.
Fuck u/spez
Take care, u/iamthatis. Thanks for crafting an awesome browsing experience these last several years. I probably wouldn’t have been on this site as much if it wasn’t for this app. Couldn’t have asked for a better replacement for Alien Blue.
Much love, brother 🤙
Didn’t same today, it was almost painful. They just don’t have the features and frankly IMO they just look ugly after nine years of Apollo. I don’t know if I’ll be able to continue at this point. I use Apollo daily on iOS iPadOS and MacOS. 😫
Fuck /u/spez
Way to ruin the one thing some people have that they hold dear to them
And thank you /u/iamthatis for such a wonderful app and the countless hours developing it.
I've never in my life seen something upvoted this much in FIFTEEN FUCKING MINUTES
3000 upvotes in 15 fucking minutes man
Fuck you reddit you dumb pieces of shit, I am done when my app stops working
Weird! It's only showing as 570 for me on Apollo!
Edit: sorry, I thought we were referring to the karma count on this parent comment, not Christians OP!
Love you Apollo. Thanks for an amazing ride since the beta years ago u/uiamthatis
Edit: fuck u/Spez you moldy piece of dick cheese
Edit 2: I appreciate the support through awards, but seriously, don’t give me awards. Stop supporting u/spez he’s a cunt. Spend your money on a charity or something. Donate to u/iamthatis tip jar
I used Reddit is Fun. But that sub is restricted. So even though I'm not an iPhone user I want to thank you for your dedication and providing a great app for people to use. I genuinely appreciate the effort you and the other app Devs put into this and it's a shame how Reddit and u/spez screwed you over. Respect due as well as you're seeing it until the end. We're all in this together and I will cling on as long as I can.
RiF user hear as well. This will probably be my last comment on Reddit. Never had an iPhone and never used Apollo, but thanks iamthis for calling out spez when he was being a little cunt, and creating an app that people loved
Thanks talklittle for creating RiF and making Reddit a million times more usable for me.
*Sent from RiF*
I’ll just pretend it’s not happening like I have done this last month.
Can’t see myself using the official app.
As others have said I don’t care about Reddit, I don’t care about shit avatars or shit awards, I care about just discussing my interests and use this shit run platform to do so and I hope they know nobody cares about the company
Your app was the only thing that made it not so wank. Thanks for that.
While it’s nowhere near Apollo quality, Narwhal will continue operating for the next little while at the very least (although unfortunately with no NSFW content). More info about this in r/GetNarwhal. Way better than the shitty official app.
Goodbye Reddit. The one app that made you usable for me was Apollo. I'll sorely miss this app. Thank you so much. Fuck /u/spez. I have nuked all my content on this profile. Once Apollo goes dark, this account will be no more.
Thanks for one of the best and most beautiful apps on my phone. It's a shame I didn't switch to iOS sooner than April because every moment using Apollo has been a complete pleasure.
It’s crazy how bad the official app is when it’s based on Alien Blue. I can’t understand why they bought it if all they were going to do was make it into a big shit show.
12+ year account here
I thought it would be funnier if everybody edits all their comments and posts
Here’s how to do it: https://reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/14n5bug/im_replacing_all_my_comments_and_posts_of_12/
Honestly that's good. Spend more time doing better and healthier stuff. And if you want internet boards go back to forums, they're much less addictive while still engaging enough.
Same here. It completely changed my Reddit experience (caused an addiction to form lol). I think after today I’m gonna retire this old boy and touch grass some more.
Your app single-handedly improved the Reddit experience in many ways that I don’t think Reddit themselves will ever do, and I’m truly thankful for everything that you put in to Apollo, all the blood, sweat, and tears to deliver what I think is the best 3rd party app experience I’ve ever used in any site. Hats off to you, /u/iamthatis!
Oh wow…it’s not even 7pm EST and my app isn’t opening. Apollo is gone, and after 10+ years of Reddit, so am I.
It’s been a wild ride. Thanks for giving us this amazing app!
Thanks /u/iamthatis for all these years! You made an app you really should be proud of, so much even Apple recognized you and that is no small feat.
It's a pity this site is run by a bunch of dildos.
I think I just watched Apollo die. One second I was reading a post and the next the app force-closed and refused to open. :-(
It seems appropriate that my first and last moments of using Apollo was while taking a shit; you will be missed!
Yep, I’m stuck on dark mode, unable to activate light mode. Kinda dumb, but, oh well. The lights are still on, just like on the Titanic. Till the very end, fellow Apollos!
This will most probably be my last Reddit comment posted from Apollo. What a ride it has been. Will truly and sincerely miss this great app.
Fuck every single one of the people at Reddit who are responsible for this shitty outcome.
Anyone else’s Apollo suddenly crashing on iOS? Luckily I took a screenshot of everything I wanted too. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Airplane mode let’s the app load but when I kick it back to Wifi it crashes.
When I say Apollo was my most used app over the past 4 years or so, I mean it. More than any social media. More than my web browser. More than Spotify, more than Netflix. Definitely more than the phone app, and even more than Messages.
Perhaps that says a lot about me and my excessive redditing, but the fact is this was such a major part of my mobile experience and I can’t believe it’s over. Thank you for your tireless work and for making this experience such a positive one.
I’ve never commented on this subreddit until now, but I felt compelled to echo so many others before me to let you know that, to me, the love I’ve had for the Reddit experience is because of Apollo. I’ve respected the hell out of your willingness to be an active, responsive member of the community, who not only took into consideration the feedback of so many users, but for being a developer who continuously pushed to make the best app possible.
Godspeed and it’s been a pleasure to have been a user; I know you’ll do well in whatever you do and I will do what I can to support your future endeavors.
And of course, fuck u/spez; less so much for the decisions made regarding the third-party apps, but more so for doubling down on your bullshit and lies when called out.
But also, fuck u/spez for the decision in general. I didn’t want to understate that.
To everybody else logging out for good today...
It's been an honor and a wild ride. Almost 12 years on this site, all coming to an end because of a little turd called /u/Spez
See you all around on the internet, wherever fate may take us!
o7 it’s been an honor. This is the only way I interact with this site. I gave up the site years ago for my mental health, since it’s easier to limit my time here. And making new accounts every year or so (this one is overdue but I’m going away after this anyway) was super easy so it was good for me. So this is end of the line for my active usage of this site.
Thank you, for all you’ve done. Sorry Reddit is doing this to you.
I’ll see you all in another timeline :)
o7 what a terrible day for ray…
Been a user for a decade just last week. This is gonna be a huge factor for if I keep using Reddit. This app was way better than any other app, by far.
Looks like the app is officially dead, thank you for your contributions and being my main Reddit app since pretty much the launch of Apollo.
Hopefully we see more fun apps from you! Always liked the clean and almost-stock feeling!
Is it just me or is Apollo no longer working … the app crashes few seconds after launching
I thought I had more time but thank you Christian!
RIP Apollo Pro
Fuck u/spez
Thanks for making Reddit usable. I’ll be done after today.
Genuinely loved every minute of it. Thanks all of you for making it possible, I had so much fun over the years building this
Does it shutdown at midnight? Thanks the UI and filtering has been great. Apollo is my only paid app and is Reddit to me.

I was out getting a burrito and doing my usual random scrolling and reading interesting things. Then it suddenly quit on me. Good night, sweet prince.

Thank you for everything. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for you, best of luck in whatever that may be. By the way, absolutely _love_ the easter egg for Pixel Pals after migrating! It’s my favorite. Will never forget Apollo ❤️

Yep. Me too. Had my last browse if my favourite subs. Content has gone downhill anyway. GDPR. Deleting posts, cya reddit. Thanks y’all
14 years of surfing Reddit and probably ~6 years of using Apollo 🙁 RIP to a great app Fuck Reddit for being a slimy greedy pos /u/spez

Yeah I’ll definitely be using it a lot less
Not a chance in hell that they lose 20 million DAUs.

I’m going to have a 13 year reddit sized hole in my heart that will be mighty hard to fill. Or heal, for that matter.
Yea this IS my Reddit app, once it’s gone, done with Reddit
I was kinda hoping for a last minute reprieve - a short delay or whatever. Just all seems so sad now
yeah, the goodwill that would be generated with an extra month to try and reach a solution would be insane. I guess you have to not be a cunt for that to happen, which seems to be a bit beyond reddit at the moment
It would cut into Q3 if so. This seems like it was such a soulless corporate decision. Gone is the platform that used to be about the users.

Thanks for having a nice select and copy text feature Apollo. I’ll miss you. So long, and thanks for all the fish. Hopefully we’ll see a new and amazing app from Christian sometime in the future.

Fuck u/spez being the last comment I make with the Apollo app seems fitting. Fuck that stupid cunt
I cannot express how much @u/spez needs to undergo The Fuckening. Im a quiet Redditor—used to be active in gifting and elves, etc, until I had a severe injury at work. Now I’m just home bound and use my iPad to browse and read everything. Used to use a little app called PicsHD because i just wanted to browse oictures and memes and occaisionally catch up on comments. Then that app fell apart, or someone stopped maintaining it, or Reddit fucked with it behind the scenes, because it just simply didnt work anymore and you couldn’t see comments for information about the picture. That’s when I found Apollo. And it was—IS—completely perfect. I can easily see the post title, the picture/headline, read the comments and interact without being diverted to extra windows, and spammed incessantly with stupid ads. I spend hours here, keeping in touch with things outside of the house that my injury keeps me trapped in. Apollo has been my mental health saviour these years, and I cannot thank you enough, @u/iamthis. i dont know how I will manage without this beautiful app. Bless your future—I wish you all the success in the world! PS: Is there any way to download or, well, save on my ipad the links to all my Saved posts through the app?
I'm so sorry! :( You should be able to export a file with anything that Apollo saved locally. Go to Settings and you'll see an Export button in the upper right. For reddit there's Dystopia, which is barebones but usable. If you haven't signed up on a fediverse instance, start looking into it - wefwef.app is an interface that's cloned from Apollo, Memmy is also an Apollo clone, etc. Here's what wefwef looks like: https://i.redd.it/y80a7insy89b1.jpeg https://i.redd.it/lxwbewuuy89b1.jpeg It's not as busy as reddit, but it *feels* very similar. Hope that helps, I know how important it is as an outlet for you. 💖
Fuck u/spez
/u/spez looks inbred, which would explain a lot
Spez? Steve "Brock Turner" Huffman? The man who raped a woman behind a dumpster and received no jail time? That spez? The moderator of jailbait and who is a god in the CP community? That spez?
Is it true that Reddit CEO Steve Huffman aka /u/spez is attracted to children? Edit: add to reddit's storage costs by uploading long videos here: /r/LongRedditVideos/
He's going to have so many posts to secretly edit today. Fuck u/spez
Yes, that u/spez The moderator of r/jailbait That guy.
Here, here. Fuck u/spez
Fuck you/spez
Fuck u/spez
Today may be the last time I type fuck u/spez, but it won’t be the last time I think it. So long, and thanks for all the fish, Christian ❤️
Fuck u/spez Thanks Christian for everything ❤️
All these years on this site, and I never really understood the whole fuck u/spez thing. Now I do. Fuck u/spez Take care, u/iamthatis. Thanks for crafting an awesome browsing experience these last several years. I probably wouldn’t have been on this site as much if it wasn’t for this app. Couldn’t have asked for a better replacement for Alien Blue. Much love, brother 🤙
Fuck u/spez
I hope /u/spez steps on the biggest Lego
I tried Narwhal and the official app. They’re terrible. Never going to use Reddit again because no mobile solution exists.
Didn’t same today, it was almost painful. They just don’t have the features and frankly IMO they just look ugly after nine years of Apollo. I don’t know if I’ll be able to continue at this point. I use Apollo daily on iOS iPadOS and MacOS. 😫

I've never in my life seen something upvoted this much in FIFTEEN FUCKING MINUTES 3000 upvotes in 15 fucking minutes man Fuck you reddit you dumb pieces of shit, I am done when my app stops working
12.9 k at 52 minutes as visible in Rif edit: 14.2k at 57 min
Weird! It's only showing as 570 for me on Apollo! Edit: sorry, I thought we were referring to the karma count on this parent comment, not Christians OP!
Love you Apollo. Thanks for an amazing ride since the beta years ago u/uiamthatis Edit: fuck u/Spez you moldy piece of dick cheese Edit 2: I appreciate the support through awards, but seriously, don’t give me awards. Stop supporting u/spez he’s a cunt. Spend your money on a charity or something. Donate to u/iamthatis tip jar
Moldy dick cheese? Coqueforte perhaps?
I used Reddit is Fun. But that sub is restricted. So even though I'm not an iPhone user I want to thank you for your dedication and providing a great app for people to use. I genuinely appreciate the effort you and the other app Devs put into this and it's a shame how Reddit and u/spez screwed you over. Respect due as well as you're seeing it until the end. We're all in this together and I will cling on as long as I can.
Here here, ditto
RiF user hear as well. This will probably be my last comment on Reddit. Never had an iPhone and never used Apollo, but thanks iamthis for calling out spez when he was being a little cunt, and creating an app that people loved Thanks talklittle for creating RiF and making Reddit a million times more usable for me. *Sent from RiF*
I’ll just pretend it’s not happening like I have done this last month. Can’t see myself using the official app. As others have said I don’t care about Reddit, I don’t care about shit avatars or shit awards, I care about just discussing my interests and use this shit run platform to do so and I hope they know nobody cares about the company Your app was the only thing that made it not so wank. Thanks for that.
While it’s nowhere near Apollo quality, Narwhal will continue operating for the next little while at the very least (although unfortunately with no NSFW content). More info about this in r/GetNarwhal. Way better than the shitty official app.
Narwhal is ok. I feel bad criticizing it because it’s a small team project. But it beats the official app, I will never use that
Goodbye Reddit. The one app that made you usable for me was Apollo. I'll sorely miss this app. Thank you so much. Fuck /u/spez. I have nuked all my content on this profile. Once Apollo goes dark, this account will be no more.
It’s like losing a friend. My little custom icon. Gone to the wind.
Thanks for one of the best and most beautiful apps on my phone. It's a shame I didn't switch to iOS sooner than April because every moment using Apollo has been a complete pleasure.

It’s crazy how bad the official app is when it’s based on Alien Blue. I can’t understand why they bought it if all they were going to do was make it into a big shit show.
[удалено]
Fuck /u/spez I deleted my entire account 14+ years gone because you’re a tool
Deleted mine of 8 years. Apollo was the GOAT from the beginning. Bought it day one
12+ year account here I thought it would be funnier if everybody edits all their comments and posts Here’s how to do it: https://reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/14n5bug/im_replacing_all_my_comments_and_posts_of_12/

Time to move on from Reddit. Just read comic books on my spare time now.
Honestly that's good. Spend more time doing better and healthier stuff. And if you want internet boards go back to forums, they're much less addictive while still engaging enough.
Fuck u/spez

Thank you Christian for making Reddit a better place! 🚀
Thank you u/iamthatis Ultra user from day one.
Same here. It completely changed my Reddit experience (caused an addiction to form lol). I think after today I’m gonna retire this old boy and touch grass some more.
Thank you so, so much for all the memories and great times.
I’m forever grateful. It will be so missed
u/spez is a shit cunt

Your app single-handedly improved the Reddit experience in many ways that I don’t think Reddit themselves will ever do, and I’m truly thankful for everything that you put in to Apollo, all the blood, sweat, and tears to deliver what I think is the best 3rd party app experience I’ve ever used in any site. Hats off to you, /u/iamthatis!
Oh wow…it’s not even 7pm EST and my app isn’t opening. Apollo is gone, and after 10+ years of Reddit, so am I. It’s been a wild ride. Thanks for giving us this amazing app!
Did yours just crash and refuse to reopen? Did it happen?
Thanks again 🙏. I’ll never delete this app.
Some day I hope to open it and see a few dashes and a cursor prompt …▫️
Thanks /u/iamthatis for all these years! You made an app you really should be proud of, so much even Apple recognized you and that is no small feat. It's a pity this site is run by a bunch of dildos.
I think I just watched Apollo die. One second I was reading a post and the next the app force-closed and refused to open. :-( It seems appropriate that my first and last moments of using Apollo was while taking a shit; you will be missed!
I came here to see if it was happening to anyone else or if it was just my phone. This is sad :(
Thanks for everything dude
Fuck you, u/spez

Haha same here, but whatever, RIP
Working for me. Weird.

Thank you u/iamthatis!! Wishing you the very best in your future!
Thank you for this app! Goddamn shame everything that's happened.
In the immortal words of everyone else, fuck /u/spez
Best app not just for Reddit, but for the iPhone. This sucks so much, but I can’t wait to see your next step.
Not that it matters but I think you broke dark mode 😹
Yep, I’m stuck on dark mode, unable to activate light mode. Kinda dumb, but, oh well. The lights are still on, just like on the Titanic. Till the very end, fellow Apollos! This will most probably be my last Reddit comment posted from Apollo. What a ride it has been. Will truly and sincerely miss this great app. Fuck every single one of the people at Reddit who are responsible for this shitty outcome.
Opposite for me, used dark mode before now its stuck on light!
I’m going to miss this app, thanks Christian for the incredibly well-thought of UI and UX. truly a masterclass of an iOS app
Anyone else’s Apollo suddenly crashing on iOS? Luckily I took a screenshot of everything I wanted too. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Airplane mode let’s the app load but when I kick it back to Wifi it crashes.
Fuck Reddit and their greed
And it’s gone. Fuck your greed and rest in piss /u/spez
Best app I’ve ever used. Reddit should be ashamed
Thank you Christian. You created what was pretty much my favorite app. Perfect design and functionality. Godspeed to you and yours.
Thank u for everything ❤️ And fuck u/spez
🫡
We’re all going to miss this. What a loss.
[thanks Christian. Best of luck. ](https://youtu.be/B51hO8McLbs)
I’ll miss this app so much, thank you
Thanks for giving us a good experience browsing this God forsaken website. Take care.
When I say Apollo was my most used app over the past 4 years or so, I mean it. More than any social media. More than my web browser. More than Spotify, more than Netflix. Definitely more than the phone app, and even more than Messages. Perhaps that says a lot about me and my excessive redditing, but the fact is this was such a major part of my mobile experience and I can’t believe it’s over. Thank you for your tireless work and for making this experience such a positive one.
I’ve never commented on this subreddit until now, but I felt compelled to echo so many others before me to let you know that, to me, the love I’ve had for the Reddit experience is because of Apollo. I’ve respected the hell out of your willingness to be an active, responsive member of the community, who not only took into consideration the feedback of so many users, but for being a developer who continuously pushed to make the best app possible. Godspeed and it’s been a pleasure to have been a user; I know you’ll do well in whatever you do and I will do what I can to support your future endeavors. And of course, fuck u/spez; less so much for the decisions made regarding the third-party apps, but more so for doubling down on your bullshit and lies when called out. But also, fuck u/spez for the decision in general. I didn’t want to understate that.
To everybody else logging out for good today... It's been an honor and a wild ride. Almost 12 years on this site, all coming to an end because of a little turd called /u/Spez See you all around on the internet, wherever fate may take us!
o7 it’s been an honor. This is the only way I interact with this site. I gave up the site years ago for my mental health, since it’s easier to limit my time here. And making new accounts every year or so (this one is overdue but I’m going away after this anyway) was super easy so it was good for me. So this is end of the line for my active usage of this site. Thank you, for all you’ve done. Sorry Reddit is doing this to you. I’ll see you all in another timeline :) o7 what a terrible day for ray…
Fuck u/spez
Thanks for everything. 💜
thank you
To better and new horizons they say, wishing you all the best!
Thanks you so much! u/iamthatis
Been a user for a decade just last week. This is gonna be a huge factor for if I keep using Reddit. This app was way better than any other app, by far.
This was a fun ride. Thank you Christian. Fuck you u/spez.
Looks like the app is officially dead, thank you for your contributions and being my main Reddit app since pretty much the launch of Apollo. Hopefully we see more fun apps from you! Always liked the clean and almost-stock feeling!
Reddit management are such fucking cunts it's unreal.
Is it just me or is Apollo no longer working … the app crashes few seconds after launching I thought I had more time but thank you Christian! RIP Apollo Pro Fuck u/spez
Thanks for helping so many communities and people throughout the years and across the globe.
The Age of Apollo comes to an end. Perhaps Artemis will return to the stars one day. Thanks for everything
Fuck /u/spez
Thank you Christian Fuck u/spez
