TLDR; I am a bit angry here.
Hey!
I bought the app, stop showing me ads for themes and useless crap. I don’t care if the ads are provided by Reddit or from Apollo.
When I open up an app I paid a fairly good amount of money for I don’t want to be greeted with another purchase.
Otherwise an amazing app!
Fair, that's a good solution for letting folks know, and letting them choose if they potentially want to be reminded again
For the first comment, please read the last few words of my comment.
For the second, restart the app after disabling Analytics and it should clear out anything, if you're still seeing any communicating to Firebase or Crashlytics after that could you reply with a screenshot? Apollopushserver is just a generic server of mine, you can inspect the payload or even the URL itself, it's not sending anything related to you, it does a variety of things like validating in-app purchases, or checking if there's any announcements to be made in the app.

Sorry. I always get an influx of emails as soon as I end the sale every year that folks just missed it and if I can restore it, or didn't know it was a thing until it was over (and there's not really much I can do in those situations after it's ended), so I wanted the sale to be more clear as it got closer to being over (with it finalizing with two last heads up on the final chance day).
Clearly I went a bit too aggressive with that (it seems the double-final-day thing caused this influx of posts so that was clearly the tipping point of annoyance for many folks), and I am sorry, my intention genuinely wasn't to be spammy but I do see how it came across that way. I was annoyed this morning that a Mac app I use all the time updates so regularly that I almost get daily "install update?" prompts, and meanwhile Apollo's doing this. I get it. I genuinely appreciate the feedback, especially from those who sought to do it less harshly.
(Also I wasn't avoiding these posts, it seems the influx occurred pretty much at midnight my time in eastern Canada, I'm responding to these in the morning now.)
So again, sorry. Just submitted an update now that removes the sale alerts and they'll disappear as soon as Apple approves it.
EDIT/UPDATE: For the curious it is still being reviewed. (Tap the "Edited" icon above on this comment to see how recently this update is from.)
EDIT2: Approved! Update the app, might take an hour or so for it to hit everyone's App Stores from the time this was edited.

That's also very fair and genuinely wasn't intentional ('trapping' someone in a screen benefits no one, I can't imagine anyone thinking "Oh since I'm stuck here I guess I'll unlock this now")
I responded in another thread about that but I'll fix that. I think it was a case at staring at the design for so long that it was hyper visible to me, but on a fresh first view maybe not so much. I'll add a circle background and bump up the contrast.
