Apollo founder Christian Selig said he’s “heartbroken” about pulling the plug on the third-party app following Reddit’s API pricing changes.

    I’m here too having signed up this morning. I am still hoping for a good iOS mobile experience. Either way I’m here for the long run. I’m done with Reddit.

      An iOS app (Mlem) is currently under development. If you want to be an early adopter, you can test it already. I guess it will be available in the app store sooner or later.

        Have Memmy closed their beta testing sign up now? I’ve been testing Mlem and Memmy for a couple of weeks and wefwef for a few days. Memmy is streaks ahead of the other two right now. I can’t see myself choosing Mlem over Memmy ever. Wefwef has potential but has understandably been buggy as hell. I’m looking forward to Artemis but it’s invite only beta testing at the moment.

            Good to know. I tried tonnes of Reddit apps before settling on blue sky and then Apollo so I imagine I’ll try pretty much everything that comes out for iOS before I settle on one. It’s an exciting time.

          I don’t know about their current state, other than that those apps aren’t currently available in the app store. I don’t feel like being a beta tester, so I’ll just wait until the official release date . For the time being, browsing Lemmy with Safari has been good enough. I mean, it’s way better than Reddit, so I’m not complaining at all. Some people said that they would use Reddit on a mobile browser. I tried that a few times and it was just garbage in so many ways. Lemmy, on the other hand, is perfectly fine even on a browser.
