snazzy0933,

Apollo was my app of choice, but I agree. Nevertheless, Reddit still has years and years of valuable product reviews and discussions that have not - and probably will not for years, if ever - be rivaled in the fediverse.

Libreddit and Teddit are good for “{topic} site:Reddit.com” searches when you don’t want to give Reddit the traffic and ad revenue.

snazzy0933,

I agree most of the recent reviews are 1-star. Even so, the app has 2.7M reviews with a 4.8 average rating. The bad reviews don’t seem to be noticeable yet unfortunately.

What are some tips for dealing with solicitors (door-to-door salespeople)? Our neighborhood gets a lot of them.

We have a “No solicitors” sign hanging on the front door. Nevertheless, they knock, ring the doorbell, or worse, yell through the front window when it is open, trying to get our attention.

We have a Ring video doorbell and have enabled the automatic “Sorry, we’re not interested” announcement after 15 seconds. These pushy SOBs ignore the sign and the announcement.

When I ultimately find out they are soliciting and I ask why they ignored both the sign and the doorbell announcement, they usually say something like, “I’m not selling anything. I am just working with some people in the neighborhood…” or some such BS.

My wife and I work from home and have had to explain the window shouting to coworkers in meetings. We also have two small children who could be trying to nap at any given time. We have good reasons to not want to be disturbed at home and these assholes disregard that wish.

I will write a negative review online if I find out their name and company they are representing. Any other ways to get these people to leave us alone?

Christian is releasing the final update for Apollo, allowing users to opt out of the refunds (mastodon.social)

Attached: 1 image I just released a really important Apollo update that adds the ability for users with remaining subscription time left to decline an automatic refund. Devs pay refunds out of pocket, and this will be about $250K, so I thank you for your consideration. ❤️ Also, this update includes an amazing "Goodbye Apollo...

Apollo refund screen with the following header:

"Apollo will shut down on July 1, 2023 due to not being able to afford Reddit’s drastic and sudden API pricing increase.

Building Apollo for you has been the dream and journey of a lifetime. Thank you. ❤️ Please consider the option below to help with my out-of-pocket refund costs.

- Christian (u/iamthatis)”

Then with the option to decline a refund:

"If you've been happy with Apollo and don't need me to send a pro-rated refund out-of-pocket for remaining subscription time, please choose this option. I thank you.”
snazzy0933,

Did you buy Apollo Ultra for life? I believe the refund opt-out is only available to timed subscribers (as opposed to lifetime members).
