Version 1.15.1728 November 2023Updates merch link.
Version 1.15.1520 July 2023Adds an option to download all wallpapers rather than having to do it individually. Also adds an option to sign up to be notified for my Next Thing™!.
Version 1.15.1402 July 2023Apollo has now closed down, this update pushes out a few fixes to make everything a bit nicer in that state, so explore around!
- Adds ability to migrate your Apollo Pixel Pals to the new separate Pixel Pals app, and even includes a fun easter egg if you do so. If you're not familiar with Pixel Pals, it's a really fun app that lets you customize your iOS device with a variety of cute virtual pets. It'd really mean a lot to me if you checked it out and considered supporting it!
- Added a bunch more wallpapers to the "Goodbye Apollo" Wallpaper Set. It's available in Settings, and is a great way to remember Apollo for years to come with some incredible wallpapers by the amazing designers who have created Apollo's icons over the years.
- If you have time left on your subscription, you have the option to go to the Settings tab and decline the automatic refund. Developers pay refunds out-of-pocket, so your kindness and consideration would mean a lot to me there given how unexpected the last few weeks have been. Cancelling your subscription in the Settings app isn't enough, you also have to manually decline the refund in Apollo if you so choose.
As the hour gets closer the app will change automatically to no longer being able to browse Reddit, but you'll still be able to open it and customize the home screen app icons with the over 100 incredible icons added over the years. Pixel Pals migration, wallpapers, merch, and more are also available, as well as the possibility of another fun easter egg revealing itself.
I feel like I've said it a lot over the last few weeks, but I feel so, so fortunate that I've been able to build an app over the last 9 years alongside such an incredible community who helped me to shape the app for the better. I've met and talked with so many cool people, and the app is infinitely better than it was from the outset because of it. I'm heartbroken it's ending this way, but I've loved every minute of building this app for you folks and wouldn't have done a thing differently. Love y'all.

Version 1.15.509 May 2023Fixes a bug where flair could be rendered weirdly when displaying a right-to-left language..
Version 1.14.2622 February 2023- Fixes some media display issues
- Adds two new Ultra icons: Notebook and Year of the Rabbit
- A few other small tweaks and fixes to make things run even smoother.
Version 1.14.1926 December 2022This updated fixes a few bugs, namely around blocked users sometimes potentially still cropping up in threads, and some GIF loading issues. The update also adds Oliver the festive Christmas raccoon as a new Pixel Pal, and introduces a limited time Christmas sale (with a "do not show again" option for the sale)..
Version 1.14.829 October 2022This update brings two really awesome additions to Apollo:
# Live Activities
You probably know this as the cool new Dynamic Island feature launching today with iOS 16.1, but it also works on prior phones by showing the Live Activity on the lock screen as well! With this Apollo update you can go to a specific thread, and select "Start Live Activity" and Apollo will monitor a thread for you and show you (live!) recent comments as they come in, either right in your Dynamic Island, or right on your lock screen. This is legitimately so handy for things like TV episode discussion threads, so you can see what people are saying as things happen in the show, or just for following an interesting thread that caught your eye. It's now now so easy to stay on top of things.
# Pixel Pals for All!
Even if you don't have the latest and greatest phone, with this update you can now use Pixel Pals within Apollo! Instead of living in the Dynamic Island area, they live atop the little "home indicator" at the bottom of your phone, cutely going about their activities as you browse Reddit. You can tap on them to feed or play with them (which increases their hearts), or even rename them!
If you're looking for even more to do with them, I also (today!) launched a separate Pixel Pals app, where you can do cool things like have a Pixel Pal with you even outside the app, doing its cute little things in your Dynamic Island, or on your lock screen! There's also transparent widgets, so you can make them cleanly blend in with your lock screen. The app is just called "Pixel Pals" and can be found under my developer account!
# Bug Fixes!
What's an update without some bug fixes? Folks reported a few weird crashes around videos, and some odd behavior on newer devices, so everything should be just a bit more spic and span with this update.
For those who got the Pixel Pals app early, there was briefly an early potential sync issue of your Pixel Pals stats between the two apps. If you noticed any issue with your Pixel Pal stats in Apollo (you might not have at all), update the Pixel Pals app (new version just released) and tap your Pixel Pal in Apollo to bring up its stats screen, then long-press on the hearts, this will give you a one-time option to update the stats.
# Thank You
Hope you enjoy the update and new app and have an amazing week! More great things to come!

Version 1.13.126 May 2022This update includes some absolutely amazing additions, featuring insane new notifications, brand new gorgeous, never-before-seen icons, and a big ol' group of awesome improvements and bug fixes across the board. Read on!
- Brand new, completely redesigned notification experience
- Introducing custom subreddit watchers. Incredibly powerful, you can now create filters and have Apollo watch for interesting content in your favorite subreddits, and get a notification as soon as a matching post exists. So you'll never again miss out on a fascinating discussion about your favorite character Mark in your favorite TV show subreddit, or about PS5 or Xbox sightings in your city's subreddit, or about the squirrels being posted in r/aww. It's so unbelievably handy.
- Trending subreddit posts. With a tap you can turn on trending post notifications for subreddits of your choosing, so when a post in your favorite subreddit does super well, Apollo will send you a little notification to brighten your day
- Remind Me In… tired of summoning "remind me bots" in comments? Apollo can now easily schedule a notification for a post you want an update on, so you can know to come back when OP posts the juicy update they promised
- Completely rebuilt inbox notifications (post replies, comment replies, messages, mentions)
- Probably the best set of icons ever added to Apollo. An absurdly talented crew of designers created some of Apollo's best icons for this update, and guess what, there's like literally 10 of them, ready to make your home screen shine
- A bunch of new custom notification sounds. You can even have A-P-O-L-L-O being typed on a mechanical keyboard as your notification sound!
- Added Video Deblurinator feature/setting which helps with videos not appearing blurry for the first few seconds
- Added option to hide media controls by default when opening media viewer
- Improved album/gallery loading speed
- On profiles can sort user comments and post by time period now
- Greatly improved efficiency with enormous images
- Added option to paste Reddit URL into Search tab search bar to open that link
- Fixed issue where users could be sorted incorrectly in subreddits list
- Option to share watchers via a URL
- Can long-press on Search tab to quickly go to the search bar
- Can long-press on Posts tab to quickly jump to the Jump Bar
- Tweaked Apollo logo for Safari extension
- Fixed bug where it looked like you could edit the text of what you were replying to
- Playback speed options for YouTube videos using API
- Fixed bug where sometimes titles weren’t selectable in Select Mode
- Added option to completely hide blocked users
- Fixed missing "Open in YouTube" setting
- Fixed Markdown formatting for long lists of subreddits in comments
- Added pretty icons for long-pressing notification actions
- Underscores can italicize/bold in Markdown editor now
- Fixed bug with favorited users
- Fixed bug where some URLs wouldn’t open properly
- Fixed bug where underscores in links could load weirdly in Apollo
- Fixed Open in Apollo redirect loop
- Improved some icons in comment composer
- Fixed weird animation when upvoting a comment with a Wikipedia link
- Fixed bug where custom gestures and Markdown tables could conflict
- Fixed bug where some table-heavy posts could crash (mostly in r/LeagueOfLegends)
- Keyboard opens faster when commenting
- Fixed bug with Face ID/Touch ID
- Fixed bug where the pulsing "live sort" icon for comments would stop animating
- Fixed bug with some Reddit shortlinks
- A ton of other small little improvements
This update was a ton of work, so I really hope you enjoy it. I also want to give a massive thank you to André Medeiros, a brilliant server engineer who was instrumental in building the backend server for this update.
If you're enjoying this update, it would mean the world to me if you could check out Apollo Ultra and all the new goodies inside it!
- Christian
(1.13.1 fixes a few small bugs from 1.13).
Version 1.12.219 January 2022Version 1.12.2:
This update improves an open in Apollo issue, as well as a few other small issues.
Version 1.12.1:
Here's an update with some handy bug fixes and improvements based on great feedback from the Christmas update. Read on!
+ A new, really cool icon from Yannick Lung. It's of the Apollo mascot in an old school scuba suit by the incredible Yannick Lung, and I love how the details really make it feel like an icon from a nostalgic era of time passed. Have been enjoying it a lot on the ol' home screen.
+ Improvements to table rendering. Thanks y'all for sending in some great examples of tables that (alongside Apollo's new inline table renderer) weren't quite displaying properly, so I've tidied those all up so they should display gorgeously now.
+ Also tweaked layout algorithm a bit so that some tables that were a bit cramped should display nicer now.
+ Fixed bug where the "Quote" option in "Select Text" mode and in the comment composer wouldn't show up.
+ Fixed bug where the subscriber count and number of currently active accounts wasn't showing up in the sidebar (and also added the short subreddit description to the top of it).
+ Fixed bug where some links wouldn't be tappable or only the subreddit/user part would be if it was a Reddit link.
+ Fixed a bug where tapping on some user or subreddit links could jump you into the browser/out of Apollo rather than staying in the app (same with Wikipedia links, fixed too).
+ Fixed bug where preview text (like for a text post in a subreddit, or underneath an Inbox item) was too dark, made it a bit lighter like before so as to blend in better
+ Fixed a bug with some escaped Markdown characters and those inside code blocks.
+ Fixed a bug around newlines/line breaks in Markdown.
+ Fixed a bug where sometimes you could get a duplicate notification.
+ Fixed bug where text in private messages could be visually hard to read due to low contrast.
+ If you tap on a link to u/me, it'll properly load your profile now.
+ Added option in Settings tab > General to share Reddit links as their "old.reddit" version.
+ Fixed bug where Apollo was mean to usernames with hyphens in them.
+ Fixed bug where when comments loaded self text could refresh/flash in a non-cool way.
+ Fixed bug where couldn't select the title of the post in "Select Text" mode.
+ If you tap on a timestamped YouTube video it will now open to that time.
+ Limits comment link previews to 5.
+ Fixed bug where subreddit rules could get cut off at the top slightly.
+ Flattened large groups of newlines in a comment/post into just two.
+ Fixed bug where code blocks could get cut off at the bottom.
+ Fixed bug where widgets would not show up on iOS 14.
+ A fix for a crash that could occur on iOS 12 devices. Really sorry about that one, strange bug that was but everything should be in tip top shape now. As a note, after this update (1.12.1) Apollo will likely require iOS 14 and higher for further updates. You'll still be able to run Apollo on iOS 12 and 13 just as you were before, but new updates will require iOS 14 and higher. Statistically very few Apollo users are still on these older versions (well under 1% of users) and the work to maintain these older versions and put off using nice, newer iOS features in full (SwiftUI, SceneDelegate, Combine, Swift Concurrency, etc.) is beginning to get a bit tough to maintain given the small userbase (and I'm just one person building this app), so I figure now's a good a time as for iOS 14 to become the base. Hope that's understandable.
Hope these first two weeks of 2022 have served you well, and if not, well I endeavour to make the rest happier through Apollo updates!
- Christian.
Version 1.1225 December 2021Merry Christmas!! Santa has arrived with a bug full of Apollo updates for you to enjoy! HO HO HO!
+ Added three awesome new icons! First, you've been visited by Santapollo, created by the perpetually ingenious Matthew Skiles and depicts our jolly Father Christmas as if he was the Apollo mascot. Second, we have Broby, a beautifully hand made depiction of our Apollo mascot made by u/burkybang’s 5 year old son. Yes three, icons!
+ New Markdown renderer using Apple's new efficient library. Loads comments even faster, and brings benefits like inline table rendering (finally!), syntax highlighted code blocks, better list rendering, and more!
+ Improved SidebarViewController to use the new renderer as well, so sidebars load richer with tables inline, links open in Apollo, etc.
+ Improved the viewing of random subreddits with r/random in Apollo. Now it loads even faster, and you can simply pull down to refresh and it'll load you a new subreddit each time, even remembering which sort you had set
+ If you long-press on a link the context menu will now have a quick Open in Browser option (thanks u/2-718!)
+ Added inline Wikipedia previews to comments, including a thumbnail and brief article preview, so you can get a gist of what the article is about without having to summon one of the wiki bots.
+ Added Dracula theme (thanks u/IsoPhoenix!)
+ Added Mint theme (thanks u/BobQuentok!)
+ Fixed bug where on some iPads in comments for a post with a GIF they would lag badly when scrolling, update iOS to make doubly sure though (thanks u/cats-lock!)

+ You can now zoom in further on images, even if low res (ENHANCE!)

+ Option to hide the subreddit when choosing Share as Image
+ Fixed bug where when Sharing as Image the comments could appear out of order
+ Removed legacy modmail option as Reddit no longer supports
+ Added accessibility labels to all app icons and themes, so now if you're curious what an app icon or theme looks like and are using VoiceOver, it will describe it to you
+ Fixed bug where YouTube player wouldn't work well with Low Power Mode
+ New Chumbus content
+ Command/Control-F style "Find in Comments" search now also searches the post's text as well if present

+ Fixed issue where sometimes albums could be hard to scroll between
+ Updated Gfycat API
+ Fixed a potential crash when running on Apple silicon Macs
+ Added a Doomscroll Defeater™ which if turned on will disable infinite scrolling and allow you to choose to load the next page each time (in Settings it's just called "Infinite Scrolling" on/off)
+ Properly matches Reddit's recent changes to collapsing blocked users
+ Improved comment composer preview
+ Mods can comment on locked posts now
+ Fixed a GIF download crash
+ If a comment is collapsed, the username and score is now untappable so you don't tap accidentally
+ Added a better indicator if you manage to reach the end of a subreddit's available posts
+ Crossposts now match the subreddit they're posted to's content settings
Hoping you all have the happiest of holidays, and I can't wait to show you what I have cooking for 2022. :)

Version 1.11.704 November 2021Here's a quick little update with some quality of life/bug fixes, and two new icons!
- Improvements to SharePlay support (requires iOS 15.1 and greater), if you elect not to use it for the FaceTime call Apollo will remember that and not prompt you continually (appreciate the feedback there!). Also includes a banner when highlighting comments to other participants.
- Two new icons! The first is a terrific icon named Dr. Spaceman by Jeff Broderick. The second is a beautiful icon named N.E.L.S.O.N. by Gavin Nelson. Together the two icons make an excellent pair. :)
- Fixed a crash that could occur on Apple silicon Macs
- Fixed an issue with keyboard navigation on iPad
- Christian.
Version 1.10.1212 August 2021Hey all! Been hard at work on a bunch of goodies this summer. In the meantime, here's a quality of life update that adds and fixes some nice things.
- New YouTube player! This update features a new YouTube player, since the old one could be a wee bit fragile at times, the new one is super-powerful, and uses the system video player so you'll feel right at home on iOS, and still with video-scrubbing capabilities like you know and love.
- Twitter functionality restored! There was a small bug a little while back around tweets showing inline in Apollo, so I took the time to rewrite the engine for Apollo's tweet previews, and that's now live in this version, so everything should work just lickety-split!
- New icon! There's a brand new Ultra icon by Alfrey Davilla, lovingly called Gorilla Gus. I hope you love Gorilla Gus as much as I do. He's a very kind-hearted gorilla.
- Known issues: there's a small bug around the new YouTube player and Low Power Mode being active, so it'll kick you off to the web browser while Low Power Mode is active. That will be fixed shortly!
Got some goodies coming your way soon, can't wait to share more in the next update! :)
- Christian.
Version 1.10.1101 July 2021Hey all!

- Fixed random crash that could occur on launch for some users
- Fixed bug on Apple Silicon Mac version of Apollo where closing the media viewer could sometimes result in a crash
- Fixed bug on Apple Silicon Mac version of Apollo where pasting could sometimes cause the app to just spin indefinitely
- Fixed issue with videos bouncing you to Safari sometimes
- Fixed issue where GIFs could seem somewhat stuttery when scrolling, especially around their progress bar
- Fixed issue where home screen widgets would sometimes get a little annoyed when trying to refresh during poor network conditions

Been working on some cool stuff behind the scenes in between these quality of life releases, can't wait to show you more soon. :)
- Christian.
Version 1.10.808 April 2021As the winter season draws to a close it's time to harvest our winter crops, turning some annoying bugs into some delightful tweaks and features as a result. \o/
I'm pullin' a big turnip out of the ground, and this turnip's name is Apollo 1.10.8. That's one juicy turnip right there. Inside the turnip is delicious, flavorful changelog:
- It's not an Apollo update without some custom new home screen icons. :) This update we have three new ones, the first two being Apollo Ultra monthly icons for last month and this month. The first is a gorgeous icon by Gleptech called 'Sasageyo', picturing a cute (potentially monstrous?) depiction of our friend peering out. The second is a terrific, sleuthy detective version of Apollo by Matthew Skiles, and lastly we have an awesome community icon pack icon called 'Floaty Boy', showing a very cute and minimally metallic floating rendition of the icon!
- 'New User Highlightenator' is a new feature suggested by users to help spot potential misinformation or suspicious users by optionally highlighting new accounts that are less than one month old (it adds a little icon with their age by the comment or post). The vast majority of Reddit newcomers are awesome, but sometimes users create a bunch of new accounts to try to brigade a subreddit with a silly opinion, and it's nice to be able to instantly see, "Hey, this account is 4 hours old and came right to this subreddit saying some silly things. Little suspicious, you are" rather than having to look up each account manually. Let Apollo do the heavy lifting!
- If you're linked to a specific comment (direct link or by tapping on your inbox, for instance) and that linked comment has parent comments above it, you can now long-press any of the parent comments to view any additional replies to those parent comments in addition to your own
- When signing in Apollo will now alert you if your thumbnails are disabled (sometimes this Reddit setting gets disabled for one reason or another, and it can cause the posts feed to look a little blank)
- If a comment is in a foreign language from what your iOS device is set to, when long-pressing the option to translate that comment will now be at the top
- Rewrote some areas of Apollo's home screen widgets to fix some bugs and make things faster so now they should run smoother for everyone
- If a subreddit can't be accessed it'll now state the reason (private subreddit, etc.)
- Fixed bug where when tapping "load more comments" could duplicate infinitely
- When saving images/GIFs/videos Apollo now uses the title of the post (if available) as the file name
- Fixed an issue where VoiceOver wouldn't read the account username if 'Always Show Usernames' was enabled
- Identified a bug where for some users Apollo could take up more storage space than intended, if you find this to be the case just go to Apollo > Settings tab > General > Clear Cache and it will walk you through tidying things up nicely
- Fixed bug where an error could occur when trying to gift an award
- Improved detection for when a thread of comments has been deleted by a moderator, will now auto-collapse properly and label it
- Improved detection for 'Auto-Collapse Auto Moderator Stickies' setting for subreddits that have a big ol' wall of text stickied to every thread
- Fixed bug where lists with multiple levels of indentation wouldn't show further indentation after first level
- Fixed bug where scrolling when composing a crosspost could get messed up
- Fixed bug where trying to open an image or GIF in Safari could cause a crash
- Fixed bug where when dragging your finger sometimes Apollo would tap to collapse
- Added some new 'text faces' to Apollo's comment/post composer
- Performance improvements in general, should have smaller memory footprint overall
Oops, ran out of text. For the full changelog see the r/ApolloApp subreddit!
Thanks as always for the support everyone, I'll continue to work hard to make Apollo even greater!
- Christian.
Version 1.10.605 February 2021Hey all! Here's a delicious update with a bunch of new features and bug fixes! Read on for details!
FEATURES
- A BUNCH more custom home screen icons, two new Ultra ones (both by the awesome Matthew Skiles), two new community icon pack ones (by berrymetal and johnnysilverpaw), and a BUNCH of secret ones included in Pro as well. (Reminder: Apollo Ultra includes all of them!) See if you can find them all! A bunch of them are homages to some of my favorite video content creators.
- Apollo now supports Family Sharing across all in-app purchases and subscriptions, so if you have a family member wanting to get in on the Apollo goodness they easily can now!
- Added ability to "follow" users you find interesting, just like a subreddit!
- Added back option to open Reddit links on your clipboard in Apollo. It's off by default but you can enable it in Settings > General
- Improved photo uploading in private messages
- Added a suspicious looking text face to list of Text Faces in the comment composer
- Added option to hide usernames in Share as Image (sometimes subreddits ask you to hide them when sharing, or sometimes people just have weird usernames)
- Also in Share as Image you can now share link posts and it'll include the cute little thumbnail and everything!
- Includes "Privacy Nutritional Label" information! Apollo is a good privacy citizen!
- Added support for Reddit's new "awarder and awardee" karma that you get for giving and receiving awards. If you tap your/another user's karma header in their profile it will detail it.
- Added support for Reddit's new "Snoomoji". It seems to only be a test in a few subreddits, but you'll be able to see little Reddit style emoji in comments.
- Apollo now properly displays inline GIFs that Reddit has added to certain subreddits in the same inline way Apollo shows other GIFs in comments
- Added subscribe and follow options to subreddits and users in the haptic touch context menus!
- If a comment or post has been edited you can now tap the little pencil icon and it'll show you when the comment was edited
BUG FIXES
- Everyone upvoted a bug with a GIF of a fluffy dog in it so I fixed that bug too. Not going to lie the cute dog distracted me a little but I think it was something to do with GIF progress not updating in crossposts.
- Fixed bug where you couldn't fully disable "tap to collapse", so now you can!
- Fixed bug where subreddits in subreddit listing in dark mode had slightly lighter background color
- Fixed some issues with video playback
- Fixed crash that could occur when downloading some GIFs
- Fixed background color of inbox boxes in dark mode
- Fixed occasional crash that could happen with opening videos in media viewer
- Fixed bug where haptic touch context menus would be reversed for subreddit and user
- Fixed bug with moderators setting flair where custom flair wouldn't get set
- Fixed bug where when refreshing your Inbox some messages could randomly disappear for a second or cause the badge count to be incorrect
- Fixed another crashing bug that could occur with formatting dates (calendrical, not the fruit)
- Some other tiny bug fixes and tweaks and tidies that make everything just a little bit spiffier
I would have had even *more* features and bug fixes in this update but I've been working around the ham sandwich on the juicy iPad update (no olives), stay tuned for details on that!
As always, thank you for supporting Apollo and my work and I'll do my best to keep impressing you with awesome things to come! Have a great one!
- Christian.
Version 1.10.507 December 2020Hey all! I've been hard at work on this update that includes some awesome tweaks and additions, as well as a bunch of bug fixes to some areas you have messaged me about that have been a teensy bit annoying. Read on!
- Two new awesome icons! Getting everything together for this update took a bit of time, so we have two Apollo Ultra icons in one this release: the icons for November AND December. The November icon is an absolutely gorgeous, very happy and cute icon from the incredible Raphael Lopes, I just love how this came out and it makes me smile. For December, something festive is in order, so we have a very tasty gingerbread man rendition (named George) of the Apollo icon by the awesomely talented Qi Sandor (who did the Christmas icon two years ago as well) that will spruce your home screen up for the holiday season and whatever you celebrate
- Fixed some issues around videos loading improperly or slowly
- Fixed bug where audio wouldn’t come unmuted sometimes, leaving you awkwardly alone with your thoughts
- Some fixes around some widget bugs that could occur where the widgets might not load, or potentially show old content. If you run into any further bugs, should me an email with details and include your logs by going to Settings tab > About > Logs
- Fixed bug with hiding r/All, r/Popular, etc. and added confirmation/explanation dialog
- On the screen with your list of subreddits the stars and collapse buttons are now spaced further from the right

- The video/GIF progress bars now only show if the content is more than a few seconds long
- Fixed bug where posts could show up as having an error when they really didn’t
- Fixed bug where crossposted albums weren’t swipable

- Added some more bugs for me to find in the future
- Christian.
Version 1.10.409 October 2020A bunch of bug fixes as well as two new icons, including a spooky Halloween themed icon! Happy Halloween season!
- Apollowe'en icon by the incredibly talented Anthony Piraino from The Iconfactory depicting our loveable hiding under a spooky bedsheet, getting in that Hallowe'en spirit and hoping for some candy, included as this month's Apollo Ultra Icon. But that's not all *infomercial voice*, unlock Apollo Ultra now and you won't get just one new awesome icon, we'll double the offer! TWO ICONS! Also included with Ultra is a new community icon pack called Rimuru, depicting a loveable slime by u/StevSarm.
- Fixes bug where widgets would show posts from the Popular feed rather than posts from your Home feed.
- Fixed bug where when scrolling over a comment it was way too easily to accidentally collapse the comment.
- Fixed bug where when rotating device and then back it could throw you up the feed like a fun but annoying rollercoaster.
- Fixed bug where audio from a previous video could be randomly duplicated into the next video.
- Fixed bug where "comment submitted" banner would sometimes not show up.
- Better error states for widgets.
- Fixes text being cut off when making a cross post.
- Larger accessibility text sizes now better track the system default sizes.
- Filters affect widgets properly (as well as searches).
- Fixed bug where when uploading a bunch of photos Apollo could crash from high memory usage.
- If device has room the Posts Feed Widget will now show 5 entries instead of 4.
- For iOS 14 I changed the option to save photos/GIFs/videos to a specific “Apollo” album due to some permission requirements/changes and made it so saving GIFs and videos requires less permissions.
- If you want to remove r/Popular, r/All, or a Moderator multireddit from the top of your subreddit listing you can simply swipe to do so, or re-enable it via Settings tab > General.
- General bug fixes for widgets and other general parts across the app to make everything even smoother.
And of course all the goodies from 1.10 and 1.9:
- Awesome, customizable iOS 14 home screen widgets to show posts, shortcuts, and more! To add, simply long-press on the home screen, tap the + in the top corner, and select Apollo!
- Picture in Picture video so you can continue watching video from Apollo when you're doing other things!
- Viewing and performing crosspots!
- Icons/images in flair!
- Set your own flair! Simply go to the subreddit of your choosing, and you can choose from a list of customizable flairs!
- Tap on the long flair to bring up a window that expands it fully!
- If the subreddit lets users tag their posts with individual flairs, you can now simply tap on that flair and Apollo will show you all the other posts in the subreddit that have been tagged with that same flair.
- 5 new icons, the first three are Ultra icons, all made by the incredibly talented designer, Matthew Skiles! Next, we have a beautiful new icon representing the trans pride flag (originally by Monica Helms), which came out awesome! And our incredible community designer, FutureIncident, created the Japanese-inspired Apollo-san icon!
- Detect if the language of a comment or post is different than the language of your iOS device, and if so, offer to quickly translate it so you can understand the conversation!
- New auto-completing window that makes it super fast to search and add subreddits.
- Two handy new additions to collapsing comments in Apollo. The first, Apollo will show you at a glance how many comments are in the collapsed conversation. Second, if you collapse a bunch of comments, and then come back to that same comment section later, Apollo will now remember which comments you had collapsed, and keep them collapsed for you!
Thank you so much! I really hope you enjoy the update! More to come!
- Christian.
Version 1.10.323 September 2020Massive update ahead! iOS 14 features like Widgets, Picture in Picture Video, new Photo Picker, plus tons of other stuff like crossposting, flair improvements, translation features, and so much more! Read on!

Apollo now includes a bunch of awesome, customizable iOS 14 home screen widgets to show posts, shortcuts, and more! To add, simply long-press on the home screen, tap the + in the top corner, and select Apollo!
# Picture in Picture Video
Apollo now lets you enjoy Picture in Picture video so you can continue watching video from Apollo when you're doing other things!
# Crossposts
Crossposting (taking an existing post and reposting it to a similar subreddit) has been a big part of Reddit for ages, but recently it became a full-fledged feature where you can see exactly which subreddit it came from, and quickly jump to the original post. Apollo now supports this fully! You can perform crossposts too!
# Image Flair
Flair is a little “tag” users can add to their usernames in subreddit, and some subreddits even allow small images/icons to be added in addition to text, like the icon for your favorite sports team, or a character from your favorite TV show. Apollo now shows these beautifully!
# Setting Your Flair
In addition to being able to view the flair as discussed in the previous item, you can now set your own flair! Simply go to the subreddit of your choosing, and you can choose from a list of customizable flairs!
# View Long Flair
Some users set looong flair, and as a result it can get off, which can be annoying when you’re trying to figure out what it says. Now you can tap on the long flair to bring up a window that expands it fully!
# Find Posts with Same Flair
If the subreddit lets users tag their posts with individual flairs, you can now simply tap on that flair and Apollo will show you all the other posts in the subreddit that have been tagged with that same flair.
# 5 (Yeah, Five!) New App Icons!
The first three are Ultra icons, all made by the incredibly talented designer, Matthew Skiles! Next, we have a beautiful new icon representing the trans pride flag (originally by Monica Helms), which came out awesome! And our incredible community designer, FutureIncident, created the Japanese-inspired Apollo-san icon!
# Easy Language Translation
Reddit is home to a diverse set of communities, but sometimes it’s tricky to understand what’s being said if the conversation is in a language you’re not familiar with. Now Apollo will be able to detect if the language of a comment or post is different than the language of your iOS device, and if so, offer to quickly translate it so you can understand the conversation!
# Fast Subreddit Selector
Whethering you’re trying to add a single subreddit to a filter, or adding multiple subreddits at a time to a multireddit, Apollo is now even faster at doing these tasks, with an auto-completing window that makes it super fast to search and add subreddits.
# Total Collapsed Comments & Remembering Collapsed Comments
Two handy new additions to collapsing comments in Apollo. The first, Apollo will show you at a glance how many comments are in the collapsed conversation. Second, if you collapse a bunch of comments, and then come back to that same comment section later, Apollo will now remember which comments you had collapsed, and keep them collapsed for you!
# And So Much More!
Tweaks, bug fixes, and more! For even more details, check out the in-app changelog!
# Thank You!
I’ll sound like a YouTuber for a second, but if you're enjoying these really thorough changelogs (they take a lot of time to put together!) as well as all the awesome new additions I worked on, leaving a tip of literally any size inside the app helps me so much, as it’s just me building Apollo!
