Apollo is a great app; I think people like it so much because Christian has always been so engaged with the user community and has (mostly) been responsive to people. I don’t know if I’d go so far as to call it a work of art, and I don’t necessarily agree with all of the monetization limitations that were built in to it, but it is unquestionably one of the apps I’ve used the most over the years and it will be sorely missed.

Apollo is the most used apps across my iPhone/iPad. While I don't really seem to be missing Reddit, I absolutely miss Apollo. It is jarring to go from using Apollo to Mlem, but I understand that Mlem will only get better with time.

Apollo is definitely my favorite app, and Reddit (was) my favorite site. Lemmy seems like it’ll be able to scratch that itch, so here’s hoping it takes off.

Also greatly looking forward to what Christian does next.

What did you like about Apollo? I used ReddPlanet instead. I wasn't going to pay for Apollo before I could figure out what I was getting and that I would like it. ReddPlanet had everything I wanted and payment was cosmetic and supporting lupeski.

Christian would have an opportunity to use much of the Apollo code and start over as a lemmy client. It’s too bad the sting is so fresh in his mind. He has built a reputation of a great app and would easily be able to start a small purchase charge for the app and then add features behind a small paywall.
