Apollo's developer Christian Selig requested users to decline automatic refunds as the Reddit client prepares for its shutdown. He has released the Goodbye Apollo wallpaper set as well.

In a Reddit AMA, the online forum's CEO Steve Huffman stated that its API price changes are needed because it can "no longer subsidize commercial entities that require large-scale data use."

Reddit's recent changes to how it will be charging for use of its API by third party applications has resulted in widespread backlash, and Reddit is Fun is the latest app to announce closure.

Christian Selig, the creator of the Apollo app for Reddit, stated he will be closing the app due to Reddit's upcoming API rate hikes, which he says would have cost him $20 million a year.
