Apollo is so popular that API revocation would lead to a category 5 shitstorm among power users.
I personally prefer Narwhal on iOS, but if I were forced to use native Reddit app—or really anything resembling ‘new’ Reddit—I’d immediately leave and never come back.
- yurishimo 4y agoYepp. Ive been an active Reddit user for around 12 years. I browsed on desktop for a few years and then switched to mobile and never looked back. The communities I engage with just don’t require a full keyboard/mouse setup for me to get value from them. If Apollo stops working, then I assume the other 3rd party apps would also be disabled so then I’m out. I’m a bit too young to have been active during RSS and and IRC days, but I’m exploring what a modern version of that experience looks like in case Reddit goes kaput.
- technion 4y agoI continue to completely disbelieve that Reddit is as popular as it is, whilst it is an apparently known fact it is completely unusable on mobile without a third party client.
- yurishimo 4y agoI think the users that find the reddit app "unusable" are generally tech-literate power users. Most normies I've met who use Reddit don't mind using the default app (until they are exposed to a 3rd party client anyway!)
