Why do people keep mentioning apollo? It sucks. There are actually good 3rd party reddit apps

It’s not my favorite but I can see the passion of the dev in my app. It’s not fair to discount the whole thing because you think it sucks.

The changes of the api affects every 3rd party reddit app. Apollo is one of the least good ones. Focusing on the bad app is shitting on everyone who puts all of their passion into the good apps

Curious as to why you think Christian doesn’t put passion into Apollo?

What things about Apollo don’t you like?

I use 3rd party reddit apps that don’t suck. Stop calling me names. Rude

I used to use Alien Blue and then moved to Apollo and it was good enough for me. Id ask what app(s) you used but I don’t really care about reddit apps anymore 🤷‍♂️ Unless they upgrade to work with Lemmy

Sure perhaps it’s not the best but for iOS it’s as close to a native app experience as possible, and ad free.

Yeah, I think possibly people don’t like swift ui and how that all looks tbf. After moving to iOS from Android it is a little bland compared to Material You.

You have to pay 5 dollars a month to make posts. Pathetic

I think it’s just that it’s the most popular one on IOS, and a lot of the android ones are android only? And it was the first one whose story got picked up by the media.

Idk. I’ve never used it. But every app that isn’t RedReader is clearly inferior, what are ya’ll doing? /joke

This is just one of those harmless areas where opinions differ.
