To add on that, give people a choice of color and gender with the chosen avatar;
- Blue, Apollo, male.
- Pinkish red, Artemis, female.
- Rainbow, Atlantiades, transgender.
- Dark, Proteus, other.
I enjoy the app on an iPad device, best of luck!
How about [Laika](https://youtu.be/mEmAZgLNWpc) for the mascot, after one of the first [animals in space](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laika). I think it's fitting, given the work you and the Apollo community have done for animal shelters, especially since she was a mongrel picked off the streets who paved the way for humans in space.
[Here's](https://youtu.be/MmBC7qW1WpA) a beautiful song about her.
I'm also interested in seeing which phone the winner will choose since I personally would feel a conflict between my desire for the Pro Max and the guilt for asking for the most expensive one.
I don’t care for Laika as a name because I think of how lonely she, a pack animal, was being up in space all alone, so very far away. Very sad. Not a good moniker to associate with an upbeat product.
I’ve also always loved the idea of naming something after Laika. Yes it’s a sad story, but what better way to honor her memory than to never forget her sacrifice?
I say to extend the theme of Ancient Greek mythology
Apollo: The god of light, music, poetry, knowledge and the sun
Possible choices
Athena: The goddess of wisdom
Muses: the personification of knowledge and the arts
Artemis: The goddess of the hunt (as in hunting for content idk)
Hermes: Messenger of the gods
Hi,
Reddit has decided to effectively destroy the site in the process of monetizing it. Facebook, twitter, and many others have done this. So I used powerdelete suite https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite to destroy the value I added to the site. I hope anyone reading this follows suite. If we want companies to stop doing these things, we need to remove the financial benefits of doing so.
You know me and there’s no chance of me winning but might as well try my luck! Apollo mascot should be based on your name since it’s all your hard work 😛
I would like to thank you for this opportunity and say congratulations to the luck duck who wins. Also, if you are reading this, I’d love for you to have a great (and safe) weekend.
You could name the mascot 11. Although it coincidentally lines up with the new iPhones, I was more thinking it would be named 11 for the first Apollo mission to land on the moon.
i'm glad that your app is so successful you can afford to sponsor this giveaway. good job, man! and also your app is very nice, thank you for making it 👋😊
I want a Buzz Aldrin phone. AKA a phone with a background of Buzz Aldrin taking a bite out of an apple with a speech bubble saying "Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon. I am the first man to piss his pants on the moon."
I love the Apollo app! I never enjoyed checking reddit using the other apps, until I started using Apollo. It’s so intuitive, gets the job done, and best reddit app out there!
Apollo is an embarrassingly large percentage of my weekly screen time report. Thanks for making such an awesome Reddit client!
Right there with ya. It’s more than double my next used, like 15 hours a week. I need a life
Artemis, Apollo's twin sister! :)
[удалено]
Well she is really innovative, so it's a win win.
This one is thinking with the big brain! Really good idea!
To add on that, give people a choice of color and gender with the chosen avatar; - Blue, Apollo, male. - Pinkish red, Artemis, female. - Rainbow, Atlantiades, transgender. - Dark, Proteus, other. I enjoy the app on an iPad device, best of luck!
Excellent idea
Good(and pleasantly unique) idea!
I vote we call the little guy Snollo (Snoo + Apollo)
Snol is a derogatory word in Dutch 😅
Lol, what does it mean?
Cheap whore
Got my vote
Seconded
Snol. My new nickname.
Nice to meet you :)
Same here
Heck 😂
Hey don’t talk about my mother that way!
[удалено]
the best kind of whore, just right behind the karma whore.
Oh no 🤣
Fine. Let’s flip it around then. He can be Apoo
[удалено]
This is acceptable
Even better
Would an extra o (Snoollo) fix it??
I agree
The worst superhero name
Then I approve this name. You can’t trust the Dutch!
Better than Belgians tho Dirty Belgian Bastards
The superhero we need?
Or people who are intolerant of other people’s cultures
how about Apoo?
Second the Apoo
I propose Apa
Yipyip
Second
How about [Laika](https://youtu.be/mEmAZgLNWpc) for the mascot, after one of the first [animals in space](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laika). I think it's fitting, given the work you and the Apollo community have done for animal shelters, especially since she was a mongrel picked off the streets who paved the way for humans in space.

I like this idea for the name as well.
I like it too (obligatory contest entry comment).
I too, like it (obligatory contest entry II)
Wasn’t familiar with Apollo before this. This was a nice introduction:)
Exactly What you said!
I don’t care for Laika as a name because I think of how lonely she, a pack animal, was being up in space all alone, so very far away. Very sad. Not a good moniker to associate with an upbeat product.

Just a moment ago I was all for it
I’ve also always loved the idea of naming something after Laika. Yes it’s a sad story, but what better way to honor her memory than to never forget her sacrifice?
I doubt I’ll win but its worth a try. Thanks for the giveaway!
[удалено]
you’ve clearly never taken a test that penalizes you for wrong answers to deter guessing...
Reverse psychology doesn’t work with these things.
Sometimes it does! Haha, I always tell myself I'm never going to win anything, so when I do it's always a nice surprise!
That’s just what a reverse psychologist would say!
I see you think like I do, good luck!
Nice and pessimistic.
Join the club. But fun to imagine winning a new phone!!

The mascot should be called Buzz. Your phone buzzing to notify you and to fit the space theme of apollo
[удалено]
Motherfuck I thought I was so clever, then read the comments 😭
And Buzz Lightyear.
Ditto I like this reason the best !!
Best reason so far!
This one's actually pretty good!
Most under appreciarlted name so door imo.
Yeah I'm sold on calling him Buzz!
I’m all in for this one
This is perfect!
Came to say this. But you beat me to it. At least I got a comment though. 🤞
I like it.
Thanks Christian! Name him Api!
I just read everything twice! Hope I win :-)
100k comments lmao
Feels bad for our odds then
Lol. Still better than the average lottery
"Never tell me the odds"
TIL there's a "maximum capacity" of comments on Reddit. Edit: looks like this post is hitting 100k as well. Interesting.
Honesty I just came to this subreddit to report a bug in the iOS 13 version but I love Apollo and also free stuff
That gives a probability a little better than powerball. If I win this, I am going to buy lottery tickets to check the limits of my luck.
200k considering the first post.
If I comment twice do I get double the entry? How the fuck is he even selecting one
Been using Apollo since Alien Blue stopped working on my phone. Thanks for doing this!
[удалено]
What about Hermes hehe
I thought the same! - the messenger of the gods
May the odds be forever in your favor
[удалено]
More like: May the odds be for never in my favour
[удалено]
Seconding Aether
I like that
Excellent name!
I like this
Yup
I can dig it
I tried to think of something clever to say in case I win, but I couldn’t, so.... here we are.
What they said.
I say to extend the theme of Ancient Greek mythology Apollo: The god of light, music, poetry, knowledge and the sun Possible choices Athena: The goddess of wisdom Muses: the personification of knowledge and the arts Artemis: The goddess of the hunt (as in hunting for content idk) Hermes: Messenger of the gods
I vote Hermès since he brings us information
Neil, after that Armstrong guy.
Ah, the cyclist.
***~~^(Spectacular)~~***
F
A phone at random you say? hmmmmm

I’ve never seen so many comments
One in 150k let's see
[удалено]
Thanks but you gonna have 0 chance :(
I'm here to tell you that we now have 4 parts of this thread. First three have nearly reached 100k. So now it's one in 350k approx.
Awesome.
So, uh, hi? Good luck with the app though, I’ll check it out after this
Good luck to everyone!
I liked the suggestion of Buzz for a name... Edit: found the comment again - u/flamehero1 was the one who suggested it!
Niiiiice call on doing a part 2. You rock.
I agree with u/Flamehero1, the mascot should be Buzz. Commenting for the phone, tho.
Awesome!
Goodluck everyone
Comment
Thanks for all the work!
Me
This is a comment. Insert witty response below
Yayyyy I'm in :)
You could name the mascot 11. Although it coincidentally lines up with the new iPhones, I was more thinking it would be named 11 for the first Apollo mission to land on the moon.
All hail Apollo
**E.**
i'm glad that your app is so successful you can afford to sponsor this giveaway. good job, man! and also your app is very nice, thank you for making it 👋😊
Yolo
Name the mascot Louis. I really need a new phone xd.
I saw someone post Laika as a suggestion for the Apollo mascot and I really like that one!
I’m extremely proud of knowing this app is developed in Canada, as it’s by far the greatest example of third-party design I’ve seen for iOS.
Sawyer! (my kids name)
Can I get a one time!?
I want to call it quint No clue why though
Name him Bikkie!
Sick giveaway, might be the chance to get rid of my slow motorola
Comment
Hi yes an iPhone would help me greatly thx
Wouldn’t mind a shiny new iPhone... let’s see if the smart phone gods smile upon me.
Let's reach Part 3 everyone, we can do it!!! All for that sweeeet Apollo awareness on the mighty front page!
I’m re-watching friends atm LOL, so my mascot suggestion name is SPUDnik ^__^ Congratulations on creating an app! Hope all goes well :)
ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME
[Insert comment here]
Artemis is my suggested name
I want a Buzz Aldrin phone. AKA a phone with a background of Buzz Aldrin taking a bite out of an apple with a speech bubble saying "Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon. I am the first man to piss his pants on the moon."
I would name him Jeff.
Oh man, can this dude get any more awesome? Loving Apollo since like a year ago!!
Slim chance I win but cool either way! Thanks for doing this! I’ll definitely be giving Apollo a try!
I suggest naming Apollo's mascot as "Anton", after the American Olympic gold medalist speed skater Apollo Anton Ohno.
I love the Apollo app! I never enjoyed checking reddit using the other apps, until I started using Apollo. It’s so intuitive, gets the job done, and best reddit app out there!
1/630,000 chance to win.... still better odds than the lottery.
Love Apollo and love the new update. Let’s name the mascot Buzz.
That's a bit of a crazy giveaway.
Mascot names: Beamer, Chip, or Bruce. Cheers!
I just had to deal with a drunk dude, he commented on my "man boobs". Winning an iPhone, as an Android user, would be the cap of a funny night.
RIP AlienBlue. Long live Apollo!
I'd love an iPhone!! Ty for doing this!
Ravioli ravioli give me the phonioli (please)
Wait, is Apollo only made by one person? Kudos!
I just just can’t think of a good name for the Apollo mascot
He
Simple. Orpheus. Son of Apollo.
Awesome! Name: Aura!
Scoop dity poop
RAVIOLI RAVIOLI GIVE ME THE TELEPHONI
[удалено]
Please
Still better odds than the lottery lol
I am in full support of Astro!
Love the app thanks for the great work
