How to decline Apollo ultra refund
How to decline Apollo ultra refund
Hi guys I recently saw due to reddit api Apollo is going under on Jun 30th. I remember the dev mentioning he would give an option to decline refunds (similar to tweet bot).
Do you know if he will give this option on June 30th or is there a process?
We should ask the Apollo developer to make changes to his app to point to Fediverse-based alternatives. That way he doesn't have to abandon his application and we don't lose one of the best apps.
So far the Dev (who has/is active on Mastodon) has said he’s not immediately planning on developing Apollo for the fediverse. Which I can understand, he must feel pretty burnt, and probably burnt out. He’s a nice dude, I really wish the best for him whatever he chooses to do next.
There are projects that aim to provide a compatibility layer for Lemmy API to make it looks like Reddit API. When it's finished, all the devs need to do is to update their apps to point to the new API server instead of reddit's API server. Still not ready yet, but when they do, I'm sure people will notify those developers about them so they can consider to update their app to support Lemmy.
Would love some pointers. Maybe I can help out.
I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere by the Apollo dev, but I'm sure it's a process hes taking care of through Apple.
He is making an refund screen (to Apollo I believe), where you can choose, if you want refund or not. I think the refund screen will appear on June 30
I'm not gonna ask for refund (I actually donated more), the app was worth every penny
I thought you had to request the refund through Apple (which you would be entitled to), but he asked us not to.
He stated that he had been working with an Apple employee that was guiding him through the process of how to return all of the money to the subscription users. He stated the estimated value of the return would approximately be 250k out of his pocket if everyone asked for a prorated refund but that there would be a way deny the refund if you wished. Never did he ask users not to ask for a refund.
