Most users won’t opt for a refund from Apollo. People are on his side.
- hiddencost 3y agoApple automatically grants refunds unless you opt out. Tweetbot did a big push trying to get people to opt out of the refund.
- Hamuko 3y agoI uninstalled Tweetbot prior to any push, forgot about it and then got a refund like a month or two later. Whoops.
- TwoNineA 3y agoI would not ask for refund. This app is a jewel on iOS, extremely well polished and gave me hours and hours and hours of enjoyment.
- CamperBob2 3y agoThe smart move for the Apollo devs might be to create a back end of their own. There's no reason why their app needs to work only with Reddit, is there? Quite a few users would migrate to a new forum just to keep using the app.
- TechBro8615 3y agoHe addressed that in the post, saying he basically doesn't have the energy for it. Which is understandable. I really don't see why Reddit doesn't just purchase the app.
- chimeracoder 3y ago> I really don't see why Reddit doesn't just purchase the app. They've all but stated openly that their goal is to kill Apollo in its current form. Why pay millions to do that when they can accomplish it for free?
- WaxProlix 3y agoHe addresses this partway down the post: > Will you build a competitor? Move to one of the existing alternatives? > I've received so many messages of kind people offering to work with me to build a competitor to Reddit, and while I'm very flattered, that's not something I'm interested in doing. I'm a product guy, I like building fun apps for people to use, and I'm just not personally interested in something more managerial. > These last several months have also been incredibly exhausting and mentally draining, I don't have it in me to engage in something so enormous. seems reasonable.
