Apollo founder Christian Selig said he's "heartbroken" about pulling the plug on the third-party app following Reddit's API pricing changes.

Not being able to browse on mobile killed it for me. Most of my browsing was on mobile via Apollo. I refuse to get the official app after this stunt so now I’m just not using Reddit.

Luckily wefwef is making the transition easy and familiar.

I never used Apollo but I'm really liking wefwef.

Man, the astroturfing for wefwef around here is insane. I keep seeing it get brought up even in completely unrelated threads!

Apollo had a huge loyal customer base.

Wefwef provides an almost perfectly cloned UI and is a mere WebApp.

For this reason a lot of users are so impressed with it that they are evangelising it.

The big problem with it that it requires users to submit their login credentials, which is a bit of a security issue.
