What refunds will he need to provide?

I paid for the app years ago - it was $5 or so and I don't expect to get anything back. That's just how the game works.

I know he also had some sort of monthly subscription - it seemed quite absurd for whatever additional trivial features it provided, but then again there apparently was some sort of Apollo fanboy group who got a lot of excitement out of new app logos, which seemed to be the main updates in the last few years, even at the expense of serious bugs that lingered for months.

I'd assume those subscriptions would just stop being charged going forward. So again, who is getting $250k in refunds?

Furthermore, if he is refunding that much money, I wonder what kind of revenue and profits he was pulling in? I had kind of assumed he was making a very good living (deservedly - it was a good app) - maybe a few hundred thousand dollars a year, but now I'm wondering if he was making a order of magnitude more than that...



You can buy a year of Apollo Ultra in advance and 50,000 people have done just that.

I bet he was making enough that he didn't need another job but not significantly more than that.
