Apollo was my app of choice, but I agree. Nevertheless, Reddit still has years and years of valuable product reviews and discussions that have not - and probably will not for years, if ever - be rivaled in the fediverse.

Libreddit and Teddit are good for “{topic} site:Reddit.com” searches when you don’t want to give Reddit the traffic and ad revenue.

I agree most of the recent reviews are 1-star. Even so, the app has 2.7M reviews with a 4.8 average rating. The bad reviews don’t seem to be noticeable yet unfortunately.

Did you buy Apollo Ultra for life? I believe the refund opt-out is only available to timed subscribers (as opposed to lifetime members).
