iOS Reddit App Apollo's Developer Surprised by WWDC Callout
Very nice if they did this as a supportive gesture. Apollo is great, and the kind of thing Apple needs to encourage on the app store.<p>Unfortunately, Apple has a huge problem where the only developers that really &quot;get&quot; making great iOS apps are independent people or small teams. Every other major app is some kind of weird amalgamation of half-busted UX concepts from various platforms, probably because there&#x27;s no good way to offer a service with a mobile app without having to design and engineer for the least-common-denominator.<p>I&#x27;ll also add that Apple&#x27;s own iOS apps are often much worse than the third-party competitors in the space in terms of design and functionality, and update on a glacial yearly cycle, but have deeper platform integration than most developers can muster.
