View submission: Lets talk about those API calls
So what your saying is, that an Admin lied about Apollo being inefficient on API calls when compared to other 3rd Party Apps. It’s just that Apollo users are more frequently using Apollo than perhaps other 3rd Party Apps.
I’m shocked honestly. SHOCKED…..that an Admin isn’t telling the full picture.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sincerely, An Apollo User

There's an interview floating around where the apollo guy talks about polling the API every 10 seconds in order to send push notifications. That's a pretty high volume of polling when multiplied by Apollo's userbase. That could easily make it have 3x requests per user than the next app.

Well certainly misrepresenting it since most of those calls I'm sure are to check if there are new messages. Not exactly inefficient.. over zealous maybe. But not inefficient
