    I keep suddenly finding myself using boost a few times daily when the instance I’m on goes down.

    Out of curiosity, which app was your preference between the two? I’m on android, so I never used Apollo, but tbh when I saw it I hated looking at it. I was surprised to learn it was the number one app. Did it have better features or something?

      It was pretty similar tbh. I liked both. I got an Android phone and an iPad sooo… Had no choice :)

      Apollo is a bit heavier on the sliding gestures. Swipe right to upvote. Swipe aaalll the way right to downvote. Left to share, all the way left to favorite… People really liked this. I don’t mind it. Maybe cause I was on iPad? Like arrows are fine :)

      The only feature Apollo had that I was missing in Boost was the scrubbing on gifs and videos. You could replay in slow-mo, pause or even go faster with such ease. It was really really nice.
