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

Not being able to browse on mobile killed it for me. Most of my browsing was on mobile via Apollo. I refuse to get the official app after this stunt so now I’m just not using Reddit.

Luckily wefwef is making the transition easy and familiar.

I never used Apollo but I'm really liking wefwef.

Man, the astroturfing for wefwef around here is insane. I keep seeing it get brought up even in completely unrelated threads!

I mean, maybe users are just excited about finding a place to land after the exodus, and an app that does feel very similar to Apollo.

I am using it based off seeing it mentioned a couple times and was very pleasantly surprised it’s similar to Apollo. Definitely makes the transition easier.
