Many popular third-party Reddit apps will be shutting down on Friday, including Apollo, RIF, Sync, and Boost, and fans of the apps are sending them off with heartfelt posts and memes.

Apollo will always be Reddit for me. Sad to see it go this way 😢

[–] SoonerMagic 18 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Same. Apollo was Reddit as far as I’m concerned. Too much valuable information on Reddit for me to stop using it entirely, but I won’t be on there regularly like I was with Apollo. The official Reddit app just isn’t as refined as Apollo was.

Wefwef is an incredible clone of Apollo. Give it a try

[–] SoonerMagic 2 points 2 years ago

Yes, it is. I’ve been using WefWef and Memmy. Wish I could combine the two together!

I will look at it when hunting for information, but I refuse to sign in again. Fuck ‘em.

Someone suggested it lower in the replies but I wanted to be sure you heard:

Try wefwef.app

It's crazy how close it is to Apollo. Be sure to open that link in the browser!

Anyone know a good android app similar to RIF?

[–] assblasterjones 1 points 2 years ago

Same here, it's a weird feeling closing an app I've used damn near daily over the last 5 years for the last time.

I’m probably not going back to Reddit
