It’s not just Apollo: other Reddit apps are shutting down, too

other media coverage:

Sync for Reddit is also shutting down on June 30th.

Reddit creates API exemption for noncommercial accessibility apps (Ehhhh, grain of salt on this one. I'm getting a lot of conflicting reports.)

Relay is also out.

EDITS: fixed Sync names, added ReddPlanet. Will keep adding as I see them.
