Haven't used the app myself, but the website[0] seems to have a trailer video: https://youtu.be/MKbPZVDg-Z8 Apparently posted 5 years ago, though.

#6Just unbelievable. This is just sad. I have no other words.

The outcome was unsurprising and it is unfortunate. But this is why third-party apps are always at a disadvantage. The same happened with Twitter and they made that clear and now so did Reddit.
Like I said before in [0]
"Either the API gets blocked for third-party clients, or you purchase a high price for it."

That explains why WWDC was popping up while searching for 'Apollo'!

#9Bad move from Reddit's end. Apollo is one of my most used apps because I absolutely refuse to use the official app. Just like the new Reddit experience on desktop version, the mobile app is just as terrible. Clunky, slow, not user friendly. No thanks.

For iPhone apps this isn't really an option in the first place.
