    Why do people keep mentioning apollo? It sucks. There are actually good 3rd party reddit apps

      Sure perhaps it’s not the best but for iOS it’s as close to a native app experience as possible, and ad free.

      It’s not my favorite but I can see the passion of the dev in my app. It’s not fair to discount the whole thing because you think it sucks.

        The changes of the api affects every 3rd party reddit app. Apollo is one of the least good ones. Focusing on the bad app is shitting on everyone who puts all of their passion into the good apps

          Curious as to why you think Christian doesn’t put passion into Apollo?

          What things about Apollo don’t you like?

            Making foss is driven by passion. Making proprietary software is driven by passion for making money. One of these passions are not driven by greed. Guess which one. Also, guess which kind of software I prefer. I will never understand itoddlers

      I think it’s just that it’s the most popular one on IOS, and a lot of the android ones are android only? And it was the first one whose story got picked up by the media.

      Idk. I’ve never used it. But every app that isn’t RedReader is clearly inferior, what are ya’ll doing? /joke

      This is just one of those harmless areas where opinions differ.
