Apollo for Reddit

I can’t get into Apollo, you have to pay for it to post…rip-off.

Personally, I don’t find it a rip-off given how Apollo is miles far away compared to the default reddit app in terms of optimization and QOLs. It’s also my way of supporting Christian, Apollo’s developer, since he’s the only one doing the whole thing for the app from UI design to optimizations, and even dealing with the community’s feedback. Basically a one man team app, so a small one time fee of $5 is such a minuscule thing for me. But to each of their own.

I’ve never paid and I’m replying with Apollo here.

What about creating a new post?

One-time fee. "Pay what you want" to unlock, minimum $5 USD. Includes these additonal features:

Submit Posts

Create new posts in the subreddits you love, with an amazing built-in image uploader, Markdown text editor, and more. Some people are confused why posting is a paid feature, it's a combination of a few things. The majority of people on Reddit consume content rather than posting it (there's even a Wikipedia article about this phenomenon!)) so it's a nice feature to be like 'hey, if you're doing this, could you support the app'? Secondly, it was a common feature to make 'Pro' in other Reddit apps, like Alien Blue when it was around. Lastly, even though it might seem like a 'basic' feature on the surface, I put a lot of hours into designing and coding the feature in Apollo, and I hope it's not too harsh to ask to be paid to support my work.

Edit: for Push notifications you have to subscribe to Ultra, $13/yr (according to their website)

I post using Apollo, and don’t pay anything.

How? Ad soon as I choose post it takes me to the subscription page. Even the info above from Apollo says you have to pay to create a new post. Yes you can reply for free, but not create.

I’ve had Apollo for a few years, maybe I’m grandfathered in as it says I have Apollo Pro. I don’t remember clearly but I may have paid $1-2 for the app at one point but definitely nothing for years. It wouldn’t have been much though as it’s really rare I pay for apps.

Tell me how to do that. Creating a new post requires a payment for me.
