    I don’t blame him, he’d have to start over on his project he’s worked on for years. I wouldn’t want to do it either lol

      No, he wouldn’t. He’d have to start passing on the cost of the new API pricing + his fair share as dev, to the users of Apollo. Nothing about how the app currently functions would have to change, just the amount users pay to use the app under the new pricing.

      He never even offered that as an option. (Not that I’ve seen or been told by him as a subscriber.) He apparently decided that doing so wasn’t worth it and pulled the plug. And to be clear, as the app developer that’s fully his right and I support his decision.

      I’m old enough to know that sometimes in life you’ve just “had it,” and it’s time to walk away.
