Christian has decided to squeeze Apollo again for more money, besides the wallpapers and asking people to decline their prorated refund. Christian additionally forced a pop up ad advertising this plushie.

This is just exposing to more people the greediness that Christian has tapped into recently. Recall that previously, Christian forced daily pop up ads to paid pro users to get them to subscribe to ultra, which was originally stated to only be for notifications since it required a server, but now had all new features attached to it, even very simple local features. Reddit did him dirty, but to be honest, he may have had it coming. He previously disabled ultra access to Jailbroken devices as well, even if they were valid paid users. Christian also didn’t provide refunds to lifetime users who bought it before all the API stuff. Speaking of that, does anyone remember how instead of stating the price was increasing (which happened all the time) he instead said it was “going on sale at the old price”? Kinda misleading.

      And a clean, intuitive UI. And support. And updates that listened to its user base. And no ad every 3 posts. It’s supposed to be Reddit, if that’s what you’re saying it is like that’s a bad thing then that’s stupid.

        The UI is no more “intuitive” than the reddit site or official reddit app. Like I said, it’s reddit with gesture support.

          At this point I’ll assume you’re just trolling, old Reddit is notoriously difficult to use and that’s pretty common knowledge. It’s off putting for most users, which is why they had to completely remake it with new Reddit.

            If you have room temperature IQ maybe.

            No, they did that because they wanted a flashier look.
