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.

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

          Apollo had a huge loyal customer base.

          Wefwef provides an almost perfectly cloned UI and is a mere WebApp.

          For this reason a lot of users are so impressed with it that they are evangelising it.

          The big problem with it that it requires users to submit their login credentials, which is a bit of a security issue.
