A while ago, I wrote about how I encountered a website that allowed you to review BTC products called Apollo. Since then, I was able to withdraw 300 sats from it twice, so it’s a legitimate site that pays. Yay! 
The co/founder of Apollo,Julian Fahrer, subsequently sent me an automated email, soliciting for my feedback. So this is what I wrote to him.
Hi Julian,
Sure, I will take you up on your offer. Below is my honest review of Apollo. Pros: love the concept of a BTC marketplace, not just because I like writing and reviewing about the products I have used/am using, but also I can use it as a curated list of the range of products out there in the market. There are plenty of things that I ought to try out, so I feel really excited. The idea of a bounty hunter is refreshing as I have never come across it on other apps/websites. Will love to accumulate enough stacks to go hunting! Cons: I really think that there needs to be a history of payouts so that I can keep track of my withdrawals. Having this history also enables me to promote it more persuasively to my social network. The reviews need to be sorted better. Right now, it’s a hotchpotch of reviews in multiple languages. I mean, I appreciate how Apollo caters to a global audience but it’s very cumbersome to find the ones that I can read. Also, it would be good if they can be sorted on the continuum from 1-star to 5-star as I think reading reviews in a more organised manner helps me to distill better the pros and cons of each product. And perhaps it’s because of my background as a teacher but I think the categories can be centered around a theme. Offhand, I can only think of multiple intelligences. So visual learners will gravitate towards the newsletters category while social learners will love the social category like Stacker News. I know this sounds boring, but I think conceptualising some sort of framework will help your users navigate this site in a more indelible manner. Also consider a rank category. For instance, if I finish 5 reviews, I will be assigned a character and given 5 sats as an incentive. Then, I will feel motivated to do more reviews (say, 10) so that I can climb into the next level. Lastly you definitely need supporters to help you spread the word. Ambassadors of sorts. As it is, I will publish my email to you as an article on Publish0x because come on, I am a hectic father trying to stack more sats for my and my children’s future. So all my efforts must be optimised haha. But I think Apollo will benefit from the extra publicity. So it’s a win-win situation. Hope my no-holds-barred review doesn’t hurt you. Happy New Year in advance.
—- I know it seems that I have a lot of negative feedback, but like I said earlier, I really like the fact that I can review the products that I authentically use. So I will continue to support Apollo!
