Christian has released a final update to Apollo with the option to opt out of the refund. I urge everybody that was happy with his contribution to our community to do so since he will have to refund out of his own pocket. And yes, this was for an entire year of the app, but he did I no way know that Reddit was going to change the pricing beforehand when he even asked them what the future for Reddit and Apollo would look like back in the beginning of the year and apparently Reddit said that there wouldn’t be any major changes in 2023!?

Also, the amazingly talented artists of the Apollo icons have contributed with good bye wallpapers that you can get for a donation ❤️

    In the grand scheme of history, this is nothing. But it’s hard not to feel like I’m living through a huge moment.

    The news, connections, answers, laughter, sadness, shock, joy–all of it–that this app delivered to me will be fondly cherished.

      I posted this because for history this might be small but for Christian this is life changing. He devoted himself to giving us top notch service as an app developer so we could interact with our loved community in ways Reddit wasn’t able to facilitate. He was quick to answer comments on the subreddit and would implement things we asked for in a reasonable time.

      I was so impressed with his work and was sad to hear how u/spez treated him. I just hope we can give him a good bye gift and send him off knowing that the community is grateful.
