It was consistently featured, lauded, touted as one of the best apps in the app store.
It made browsing reddit bearable.
It serves as a shining model of what an iOS app should be.
A developer that listens to its community.
Alas, greed killed you.
Greed of the very companies you helped popularized.
Still your memory lived on, still we continue to sing praises.
In the hopes that more will follow your examples and bring iOS app development to new heights.
Goodbye Apollo. Goodbye old friend.
May your memory live on in the fediverse
Apollo shut down on June 30, 2023 due to Reddit making drastic and sudden increases to API pricing for developers.
I loved building Apollo for the last 9 years, and it has been the journey and dream of a lifetime. I’m sad that journey has ended, but I thank you so much for the support over the years, and I feel truly fortunate so many people were able to enjoy Apollo.
