iOS Apps and Talk

Hi! Today I found this app to make Timelapses that is also reduced from €19.99 to €1.99 in its IAP for a once time payment. It is capable of simultaneously using all the iPhone's cameras and has extensive configuration and a very neat GUI.

Many more Apps will suffer the same fate. Capitalism is good for progress and innovation but unrestrained greed is bad for everyone.

A healthy, delicate balance between capitalism, socialism, government oversight and user freedom sustains a healthy sustainable growth, a commentary that extends to the real world, beyond Apps and the internet.

Here we remember the apps when things were good. May they be immortalized in the fediverse

It was consistently featured, lauded, touted as one of the best apps in the app store.

It made browsing reddit bearable.

It serves as a shining model of what an iOS app should be.

A developer that listens to its community.

Alas, greed killed you.

Greed of the very companies you helped popularized.

Still your memory lived on, still we continue to sing praises.

In the hopes that more will follow your examples and bring iOS app development to new heights.

Goodbye Apollo. Goodbye old friend.

May your memory live on in the fediverse

Apollo shut down on June 30, 2023 due to Reddit making drastic and sudden increases to API pricing for developers.

I loved building Apollo for the last 9 years, and it has been the journey and dream of a lifetime. I’m sad that journey has ended, but I thank you so much for the support over the years, and I feel truly fortunate so many people were able to enjoy Apollo.

It’s sleeker, familiar and finally here! I’m so excited!!! :)

Just sharing this in case it helps. With enough inputs, we’ll start making a list that everyone can contribute toward :)

As an aside, who needs spotify when you have apple music? Hmm 🤔

An app of convenience or is the subscription price too steep for its function? For the most part, it seems to do its job
