Apollo for Reddit for Positive User Reviews
✓ Fantastic experience, the app is a keeperUsing Apollo to browse Reddit is a really nice experience. Apollo is one of the most used apps on my phone and I can’t see myself using any other app for browsing Reddit. I don’t know how to speak more proudly, simply, and happily about Apollo than that. The app keeps things fairly simple and stays out of the way, however it has a few tricks up it’s sleeve to allow for a pleasant and modern browsing experience. The creator has done a great job at not taking too much away from the “reddit” experience, but while also still offering up something new. Great job..Version: 1.14.5
✓ Close To PerfectionApollo is the most visually pleasing Reddit client by a long shot. Not only does it make content enjoyable to look at but it is fluid in functionality. However, if you like to stay from the beaten path, then there is a wide variety of customisation available for you as well. I would love to see the app improve in the following: • Enable the user to unmark existing content as read or simply provide the option to turn the feature off. • Give the option to choose a default web browser. • When visiting a comment thread, have a small arrow overlay which will automatically scroll down to an original comment when pressed..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Love the concept, great on small screensThis application is great to use in a small window and is definitely the best iOS reddit app for that form factor. However, on tablets, the app feels very stretched and not optimised at all..Version: 1.6
✓ Far superior to native Reddit appLong-time supporter of Apollo and it’s fantastic, continually evolving UI + UX. As the title says, this app is superior in every way to the Reddit iOS app and website. I was turned off Reddit until introduced to the Apollo app, which makes browsing the site easy, intuitive and far more fun..Version: 1.15.8
✓ False advertising - do not pay money for this appEven if you pay for the one time Pro upgrade, you will be spammed constantly by the developer unless you pay for his monthly subscription (yes, for a Reddit app…). You’re better off sticking to the official app, which does not try to get you to pay for a monthly subscription to use it without annoying pop ups..Version: 1.15
✓ Great AppCan you please make it so that tapping the subreddit name on a widget takes you to that subreddit. Also please add some basic keyboard shortcuts (Command+F) Please also allow custom settings (swipe gestures) to sync between devices.Version: 1.13.1
✓ App used 1Gb Of StorageI used to absolutely love this app and even donated to unlock additional features. But recently while using the app I kept getting told my storage was full. When I checked my settings i found that the app was storing an entire gigabyte of data along with the 30mb the app actually is. I tried clearing the cache but that was only 100mb that was freed up. After uninstalling the app I couldn’t reinstall it as there’s still a gigabyte of data associated with it..Version: 1.2.4
✓ I was so sick of Reddit’s mobile appIn Reddit mobile’s most recent update, it became impossible to view videos, as well as read comments with videos. Not to mention, when trying to do so, an extremely inappropriate snippet of background audio would play when trying to move out of it. Even worse, you can’t reply properly to any comments. All of this is what made me switch to Apollo, and I don’t regret it. The interface takes some getting used to but at least it’s functional. Even better, the popular tab isn’t as in your face, so it’s more easily ignored! How’s that for wonderful? The only issue I had was linking my account, because my iOS keyboard wouldn’t appear. This is fixable! Just open the page in Safari or Firefox. It will work then, and Apollo won’t give you any more problems!.Version: 1.10.12
✓ Great app!Such an awesome way of viewing Reddit. Great controls for upvoting etc and love being able to save media to my phone Outstanding iOS app icons too!.Version: 1.14.26
✓ I wont use Reddit anymoreI only used Reddit because of this app, I barely used this app but I bought a lifetime subscription to it because of how well optimised you made it. I have zero interest in Reddit, what you did was a great thing for bringing eyes such as mine to Reddit. Reddit will lose out for this I am sure. Its a sad world we live in now, your efforts to make this app great for the community will always be remembered, I hope one day it returns so I can use it again, i only had the lifetime subscription for 4 months before this shut down, i didn't get refund but whatever. It is rotten what Reddit has done to you and users of Apollo. So you can keep my money, it is well deserved for your efforts in the creation of Apollo, Goodluck in the future and thank you..Version: 1.15.14
✓ A better client; could be improved, tho; paywalled featuresApollo is simply a much better client than the current Reddit app or website experiences. It’s main advantage, sorting saved posts into categories, is locked behind a rather expensive paywall, and so it’s not something I’ll ever try. I wish videos in this app were easier to advance (with fewer taps) — that is something that the app-based client got right, with it’s “tap anywhere in the timeline” feature. I’d like buttons that say “0.3”, “0.6”, “0.9” to advance to 30%, 60%, and 90% of the video’s length. I really like that all the components of a post can be individually suppressed, and font sizes adjusted, so a user can balance how much screen space to devote to display things that do or don’t matter to that user. So if a user has filtered to only 1 or 2 subs then displaying the sub’s name is not as important as if there are 10 subs being scrolled. The website can adjust font sizes, but the Reddit app does not seem to respond to iPad system settings in this regard..Version: 1.14.26
✓ Good app, way better than the Reddit one but where is chats?I can only find messages and comments but no chat tab?.Version: 1.10.11
✓ Best and always getting betterBest app I’ve used and it’s always being improved Could never go away from Apollo ultra merely to give support for this mans hard work! Thanks for your efforts.Version: 1.8.1
✓ 5 stars!!One of the best apps I’ve had the pleasure of supporting. Amazing work, and I’ll follow whatever this developer does next closely.Version: 1.15.8
✓ Best Reddit client out there for iOS.Without a doubt this is the best Reddit client I have ever used, and fits into my day-to-day life very easily. I especially like that there are a large number of customisation options which you simply don’t see on other apps, let alone Reddit clients, such as the ability to change the logo or comments theme. While most of these are only available to Pro users, the one-time purchase is completely worth it, and I would be paying for Ultra as well if I wasn’t a student with next to no disposable income. Anyone who uses Reddit should seriously be using this app..Version: 1.8
✓ Best app for using RedditAbsolutely love this app. It is beautiful, easy to use, and I've never had any problems with it. I upgraded to pro in order to support the solo developer who built this app in their own time. Absolute top job and I'm very grateful for having a decent app to browse Reddit with ease. Happily paid the price for the upgrade and have no regrets. Better than the official Reddit app..Version: 1.1.9
✓ Better Reddit readerBest reddit client for iOS imo. 👍 I like the swipe shortcuts when reading comments and also auto uploading images to imgur.Version: 1.1.1
✓ RIP ApolloYou have been my Reddit app for countless years. The amount of features in this app were limitless and I hate what the Reddit team did to you. You will be missed..Version: 1.15.12
✓ Hands Down the best way to use reddit on mobileI’ve been using this app for a few years. It was hands down the best way to engage with reddit. No ads and very stable. The official reddit app is a downgrade compared to Apollo. With reddit shutting down API access for third party apps. I will not be engaging with the website on mobile anymore. Moving forward I’ll only use reddit on desktop and block all ads. They’re getting nothing from me..Version: 1.15.12
✓ The best Reddit client!I’ve used just about every Reddit client that has come and gone throughout the years and Apollo has been my favourite so far! The app feels like it could have been developed by Apple itself with how well it conforms to the guidelines they set out for app developing. It also helps that the developer is incredibly active on the app’s subreddit and is constantly listening to the users to refine the app and make it even better. Would absolutely recommend! Really great app..Version: 1.1.5
✓ Quite Simply, Apollo WAS RedditAs a casual user of Reddit, I only ever interact with the platform through this app on my phone and tablet. I don’t log in through a browser or go to Reddit on my desktop. So when Apollo ends, so does my use of Reddit. As simple as that. I’ve already deleted my accounts. In a sea of apps that are only ever half-realized or abandoned or just straight up garbage, Apollo was a gleaming jewel of polished UX that – more than most – truly realized and aspired to give its users an unparalleled experience. The love and care put into this app could be seen, experienced and felt in every corner of its digital landscape. To say it will be missed is an understatement of the greatest magnitude. Thanks, Christian, for putting something of beauty and excellence into the world, for “painting the back of the fence” in a thousand little ways, some of which I saw but most that I probably still never found..Version: 1.15.9
✓ Thank-you Christian!I hope you can read this. It has been a wonderful ride. This app has been a masterclass in app development and community relations. You’ve done an amazing job. It’s hard to overstate how impactful this app has been for my life. I’ve used it every day for five odd years. I will miss it dearly. Thank-you for your hard work..Version: 1.15.11
✓ Hands down best reddit appVery well designed. Many little things that come together to make it hands down best reddit app. The in app media player alone makes it better than the rest. If you use reddit then this is the best experience on iPhone.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Incredibly great app about to be killed by RedditIt would be a crying shame if the bean counters at Reddit killed Apollo..Version: 1.15.8
✓ The sky come down to earthI forgot I was in a new app. I already knew this place...i was immediately immersed in the experience of what a reddit app should have always been. My muscle memory took to it and navigated the sea of content with instantaneous attentive purchase and without thinking, without even learning...its like I was an expert without practice. It simply feels correct. It’s as if some part of me knew, always knew, like the childhood home of an amnesia victim, i knew where all the doorknobs were already, it all seems so familiar. It’s a reminder that beyond our ken, existing unreachable, is the True and Optimum reddit interface that others could only try to reach for, the golden door to content that was *supposed* to be all along...and though we had to wait this long for it... it must have always there, before reddit....before earth, outside of time, beyond the crystal sphere, the platonic ideal of a reddit app, now an anachronism crashed down out of the sky onto our imperfect mortal world. It’s perfect, and we don’t deserve it..Version: 1.0
✓ The best Reddit app out thereApollo is simply the best app out there for browsing Reddit. The developer listens to what his users want and regularly issues updates with improvements. The app is clean, easy to use and uncluttered, and you’re not faced with reams of ‘suggestions’ which you’re not interested in. Don’t bother with any other app - if there’s no Apollo, Reddit simply isn’t worth it..Version: 1.15.9
✓ Huge Potential for the Best Reddit ExperienceApollo comes the closest to becoming the best Reddit apps I’ve ever used, even eclipses the old Alien Blue in its prime time. Things are fluid, intuitive, fast, and the use of taptic engine even on my iPhone 6s (which has a less powerful taptic engine than the 7), makes a joy to interact with the app. The app looks stunning, especially in dark mode, and no reddit app looks this good. Apollo wins hands down when it comes to looks alone. It acts and feels like a true iOS application. There are very few bugs I’ve come across so this feels like a polished app, and if it continues, could easily become the best reddit app on any platform! A couple of suggestions I have: 1. Read status syncing 2. iCloud sync for settings. If I buy the app on my iPhone and configure how the app behaves and looks, the app should sync all of that to iCloud so I can just download the app on my iPad and not have to configure anything. This includes my favorited list of subreddits. 3. Respect Dynamic Type. Currently, the font sizes are a little too big to my liking, so I’d really be pleased with some sort of font size option. 4. There is a UI bug when I try to adjust the Dark Mode schedule to Automatic. The text description seems to overlap with the brightness slider. Overall, a wonderful app! Great job, happy to support the dev by buying the Pro version, and I look forward to the updates. I’ll keep my review updated as well after each Apollo update!.Version: 1.1.8
✓ Just The Best AppNot just the best Reddit app! Always up to date with iOS features. Always thinking up cool new stuff. Always giving us the best possible service, even for free “customers”. No tricks, no hidden nonsense, no ads. A fantastic app, a fantastic developer. Could you ask for more? Literally you can just pay him money and get more cool stuff. Just get this app and forget everything else..Version: 1.14.8
✓ The Only Reddit Browser You’ll Ever NeedI never write reviews for apps, but I fed that Apollo deserves one. Apollo has everything you’ll ever need in a Reddit app, plus more you didn't even know you needed. Anything you want the app to be able to do, it’ll do for you. There are so many options to get it to work and feel exactly how you want. It feels less like a set experience and more like a build your own app. The only two things that may concern some users is that the app can be buggy at times after a new updates, and that some features you have to either pay 1$ a month, 10$ a year, or 25$ for a lifetime. But these cons really don’t make the experience any worse, even without a premium subscription you’re still going to get much more features than the official Reddit app, and the developer is constantly checking the Apollo subreddit and is very active looking for bug reports and taking in ideas for new features so anything that goes wrong is usually fixed within a couple hours to a day and if you want to request a feature the developer always listens. Thank you u/iamthatis for an incredible Reddit browser and for all of the work you’ve put into something you’re giving for free/ very cheap. TLDR: Better than stock Reddit app in every way, very versatile and customizable, premium features are very cheap, and the developer genuinely cares about the app and community..Version: 1.7.4
✓ Finally! A real Alien Blue replacement.👍.Version: 1.0
✓ The greatest Reddit app iOS ever had!Thanks to Christians dedication and constant updates, Apollo turned into the obvious default for what a good Reddit experience looked like on iOS. Leagues beyond any official app or website, it will be a huge loss to the Reddit community to see it go. It’s been a great run, and it will be missed..Version: 1.15.9
✓ RIP The best Reddit Client 😭It’s crazy that Christian, a sole developer, can create a far superior Reddit app, than a team of devs employed by Reddit itself, a multi billion dollar organisation. I have been using Apollo for 3 and a half years, and I refuse to go back to the sack of crap that is the official Reddit app. The official app is bloated and full of trackers/adverts, while Apollo has a simple, clean and beautiful design with the added bonus that the video player actually works. Sadly, in his shortsighted greed, Reddit’s CEO decided to kill off 3rd party apps in the hope it will boost Reddit’s value before their IPO. In fact, he has angered the Reddit users, the very people who actually provide content for Reddit. Thanks for all your hard work, Christian. I will miss your Apollo app so much..Version: 1.15.11
✓ A learning curve but worth itI used the original reddit app back before Reddit bought it and it was called Alien Blue. I decided to switch when I saw the reddit app was using heaps of my battery when I barely used it; plus a slow trend of poor UI updates. This app is so much better, way more configurable and makes a lot more sense. The learning curve was worth it, only took about a week before everything felt natural..Version: 1.11.7
✓ Awesome App!I’ve used Apollo for years and think it’s by far the best app for Reddit. I’m just so sorry for the developer who is being put out of business by the exorbitant greed shown by Reddit. Thank you so much for all your hard work, time and effort over the years in developing this fantastic app. I wish you well for thee future and look forward to your next great app..Version: 1.15.9
✓ Apollo proved my stubbornness wrong.I downloaded Apollo when it was first released and over the years I’ve used many reddit apps, the popular ones that many of you may be familiar with. At first I didn't think it was better than what I was used to. Slowly I would go back to it and say “Oh, I like that feature,” watch the updates and say “I like how that works.” Eventually, I deleted all the others and admitted to myself that Apollo is the best of the bunch, give a try, it’s hard to imagine someone else saying otherwise right now..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Taken from us too soonIt’s only been a couple weeks and I miss it so much. Thank you to the developer for your years of service to the community your app birthed..Version: 1.15.14
✓ Miss this appI have always hated the reddit app. I used Apollo until the end. I’d gladly pay a monthly sub have it again. Dunno if there are enough customers that feel the same to make it worthwhile. Hope you’re doing well whatever you’re up to now..Version: 1.15.17
✓ The best Reddit app keeps getting better.Apollo, hands down, is continually the best Reddit app you can get. Christian is very active with the community and listens to feedback and implements requests for new features. Apollo built on the foundation Alien Blue built all those years ago, and has exceeded all expectations and made browsing Reddit on mobile a dream. Keep up the fantastic work you’ve put into this, Christian, you should be proud of what you’ve created!.Version: 1.11
✓ It’s great, but….The app is so much better than the Reddit app. No where near the battery drain. Takes a min to get used to but it’s pretty cool. The only negative I have to say, I was disappointed that purchasing the premium version didn’t unlock notifications. It’s really the only reason I purchased the premium version. Only then did I notice that notifications are behind a different paywall. Maybe it clearly states this somewhere but I didn’t notice. I managed to upgrade to premium version and have no idea that notifications weren’t included. I’m not sure why you’d have a version referred to as “premium” if there are still functions that won’t be unlocked. I think the dev should just increase the price of premium to cover all the main features people want and be done with it. Nothing more frustrating than continually bumping into paywalls when you’ve already upgraded..Version: 1.11.2
✓ It once was the best app for the now defunct Reddit, and now Reddit is no more.Reddit has prevented developers from accessing its API by making it, at least, a hundred times more costly than it should be in an effort to increase its upcoming IPO valuation by temporarily increasing the number of official app users by preventing developers, and users the freedom of choice in how they utilize the once free, and once great service. Reddit is dead. Apollo no longer has a use. It was great while it lasted but, do not purchase the app now. Reddit may once have been an advocate for a free, and good internet under the original leadership but, now it’s no better than Facebook. Reddit is attempting to now monetize users more than it already did with its ever-increasing ads, worthless premium subscription that only removes the obvious ads while leaving the bottled ads, and submitted promotions, egregiously using users data to build language models, and much more including many, many more privacy violations..Version: 1.15.12
✓ Was a good Reddit app…only problem with it was Reddit itselfApollo may have been the only Reddit app I ever used, but now that Reddit have priced third-party devs out of operation, it’s unfortunately going to have to stay that way. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say something positive about the official app, and this business move certainly won’t encourage me to download it for myself..Version: 1.15.14
✓ Maybe the best app in the world.For what it does, for how MUCH it does, for how crisply and elegantly it does it, and for being super responsive and communicative with its users even though it’s COMPLETELY FREE and has NO GHASTLY ADVERTISING. The worst thing about this app is it reveals how rubbish many other apps are. And this app is a one-man operation. Up your game, world: Apollo is gold-standard EVERYTHING..Version: 1.8
✓ Thanks for the great appThis is way better than the official Reddit app, shame to Reddit for killing off the API..Version: 1.15.14
✓ The absolute best there ever wasBeen using this app from the first year it was released. So much better than the official app, that is actually a “reconfigured” version of Alien Blue. It was seamless with the iOS experience and incredibly smooth to use as well. Miss it every day. u/spez really is a horrible person..Version: 1.15.15
✓ Alien Blue’s Replacement- FINALLYI don’t care enough to write reviews for apps anymore but this app deserves it as the it puts the official app to shame. It looks and feels like an app made for 2017, feels like the best app that was released for Reddit - Alien Blue. Funny enough, through Reddit, I found out the maker of this app used to work for Apple. It’s obvious, you can tell. The amount of attention and the clean and crisp look and feel of the app could only come from someone good enough to have worked for Apple for years. This app offers everything Alien Blue used to offer as well as an Apple like look, feel and features and works without any lag/stutters or crashes so far. The in app purchase is something others should learn from, it gives you the option to tip the developer, all the features needed are already available. I’ve never been happier to pay for an app. Tl;dr Best Reddit app EVER! If Apple were to make an app for Reddit, this would be it!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Fantastic features, brilliant supportWide variety of useful features, intuitive UI, Dev is active in the community and listens to user feedback. Would highly recommend..Version: 1.2.3
✓ What’s Reddit Without ApolloHands down, the best thing to happen to Reddit, ever. I’ve personally changed the lives of so many by simply suggesting to friends and peers that they “should checkout Apollo”. I downloaded Apollo shortly after joining Reddit ~7 years ago, and I’ve never looked back. Pro features are a fantastic bang for the buck, and not only worth it from a user PoV, but you’ll feel happy to “donate to the cause” after a short time — simply because the app and the experience are that good/such an improvement over everything else out there. The addition of the Safari extension to open Reddit links in Apollo is just another game changing feature/addition in a long history of game changers. Offering multiple tiers of service (free, pro, ultra) make the experience that more ubiquitous for everyone. Reddit take note: Apollo is the gold standard; I’ll never use anything else!.Version: 1.12.2
✓ Best app for Reddit you can getAmazing dev, faultless functionality there’s no better way to enjoy Reddit than this app. I won’t remove any stars at is not the developers fault, but do be aware that as a whole Reddit is going downhill, if you are non-American it is becoming increasingly difficult to enjoy the website. THE DEVELOPER HAS NO CONTROL OVER THIS. He has made the best client to enjoy Reddit I have ever had the pleasure of using, but so consider whether or not you want to use Reddit at all as I personally find it hard to recommend any more..Version: 1.8.4
✓ Caching Update Bug?Apollo is awesome normally, but the past few weeks it seems to stop updating comments once they’ve loaded on certain posts. Has happened on the formula1 sub the past 2 race weekends, live updates & manual pull to refresh are both broken & make Apollo useless for the main reason I used it! If you clear cache manually in settings you can then refresh once & get new comments but you have to do that every time to get more updates. It’s happening on 2 different devices with latest Apollo version & I’m not logged into Reddit, just browsing. Please fix this! Will up my rating to where it should be: 5 stars once this is fixed! Thanks for the awesome work on this app otherwise..Version: 1.12.2
✓ Innovative :)This is a really good app and it has great design :) it is optimal for when you want to just scroll instead of trying to zoom in onto every post to save or see it. The only improvement I have (and please correct me if I’m wrong) is if you could swipe through different posts like on normal reddit. Otherwise I would absolutely recommend this, and even more so giving the great creators a tip!!.Version: 1.4.6
✓ Best reddit app for iPhone XThis app is amazing. I have been a long supporter of Alien Blue which I have loved using but recently got the new iPhone and this app does everything I want and more. It takes full advantage of the X screen and it looks glorious! Nothing like full screen browsing with absolutely no bars. The full black dark mode is heaven for the OLED screen and able to have heaps of customisation in the settings is a bonus. Can see myself sticking with this for some time. Keep up the great work!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ The bestI was not a very avid reader on Reddit for a lot of different reasons. I wasn’t a fan of how the reddit app was laid out and I hated adds almost every other post so I searched around and saw Apollo and a few other variants and I must say. The customizability in Apollo and just the overall apps design is amazing. I immediately paid for the Apollo ultra lifetime option because I love supporting smaller creators and I just feel Christian did a much better job at making a reddit app than reddit themselves did. Ever since I downloaded this app it has been my go to place to view reddit and I have since become an avid reddit user. I also appreciate when devs will put things that they are updating in their notes rather than something lazy like “squashed bugs”. I have recommended so many friends to Apollo and they all pay for it now as well because it is a joy to just scroll through reddit on this app and customize the experience to make it your own. Thanks Christian!!.Version: 1.10.9
✓ Exemplary app, killed by RedditApollo was exemplary. It was everything the native Reddit app wasn’t, and it was the only reason I began to use Reddit heavily. Since Reddit has now killed it I’m certain my time there will tail off (and indeed I’m not sure I’ve made a comment in the last fortnight, having made tens of thousands before that). Apollo’s designer was a paragon of listening to what his users wanted and needed, and one needs only to see the collective outpouring of not just anger but also grief on r/apolloapp to realise what a great app this was. We can only hope that u/spez is able to put the egotism of the last few weeks behind him and realise that for many power users Apollo WAS Reddit. Apollo is dead. Long live Apollo!.Version: 1.15.12
✓ Simply remarkableI’ve rated the app previously however never commented. I wanted to rectify this given the terrible API changes announced, and the incompetent Reddit leadership, in June 2023. This app is the reason that I still use Reddit. When the website was updated accessibility was thrown out the window. This app supports those of us with accessibility needs and it’s one of the best implementations of Apple’s design philosophy you will ever see. Thank you Christian for developing such a wonderful app..Version: 1.15.9
✓ Wonderful app with wonderful developerApollo has been my go to app for all my Redditing since I found it. It’s leaps and bounds ahead of the official Reddit client app and the developer seems to really care about the community that uses his app. I highly recommend Apollo to everyone looking to browse Reddit on mobile, and if you’re a dev, please take note of how Christian supports his user base..Version: 1.14.2
✓ One of the few apps left where the changelog is still interestingI’m a bit sick of “bug fixes and [performance|general] improvements”. If you don’t care about your users enough to tell them what you’ve been working on, then you don’t care about your users. Christian still does, and his app is head and shoulders above all other options. Support good developers by using their paid versions (I’m upgrading to Pro today, purely because of his enthusiasm in the changelog. That’s not weird, right?). Edit - already have Pro, don’t need Ultra’s notifications so Tip Jar it is.Version: 1.10.9
✓ It finally came out!Ever since the fall of alien blue, I’ve been searching for a suitable replacement. The official reddit app just doesn’t do it for me (no landscape mode). I’ve followed this app for years now, ever since the dev posted on r/Apple. This app has what I need, and more. It has powerful gesture support, and yes, it does landscape mode, without the screen turning vertical when you hold the phone upside down (perfect for bedtime redditing) Love it!.Version: 1.0
✓ The best reddit client in the world - and it just keeps getting betterAfter reddit decided to kill AlienBlue in favour of their ridiculously bad in-house app, my mobile reddit browsing days were over - until I stumbled across Apollo, the best reddit client iOS has ever seen. Everything works exactly as you would want it to work, the interface is fast and intuitive, everything is laid out logically (and beautifully). There’s just no contest, the official reddit app is a travesty compared to Apollo. Best of all, it’s under constant, active development, and the developer is always engaging users to figure out the best improvements to focus on. At least for the foreseeable future there’s no chance of Apollo going the way of AlienBlue, and therefore no chance of having to switch to the horrible official app..Version: 1.2
✓ The BEST Reddit appYou know how sometimes an app is so well thought-out, it becomes your “default” way of interacting with a service? Apollo is one of those apps.. Beautiful UI and interactions, as well as a billion different ways of customising your Reddit experience. The ability to share content “as an image” is a brilliant way to share insights or humorous comments with my non-Reddit friends. As a developer I appreciate the performance and reliability, as well as the creator’s constant community interactions - iOS already has a high bar for app quality, and Apollo exceeds it. Just give it a crack. You won’t regret it!.Version: 1.10.8
✓ Really great app.Reddit's been making their web site worse and worse. Apollo is a breath of fresh air - a joy to use. It's an app that gets out of your way and lets you browse Reddit quickly and efficiently. Most Redditors will be completely fine with the free version (though you need to unlock Pro to post new items (though not comments)), but I've bought the Pro edition to support an indie developer who's not making nagware or trying to cram a subscription model in. In short: it's great. It's free. You should try it..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Was good; thinking of going back to officialI switched out of the official Reddit app when I got frustrated with some of its issues and stumbled upon Apollo. I loved its features and swiping (much better and more fluid than the official app) but after this latest update oh my god! I may post a reply and not see it appear in the thread unless I leave and open the thread and search through and find who I replied to like a needle on the haystack. What is even worse is when the app completely stalls after hitting submit when commenting. Did it go through?—No, hours later it’ll prompt that something went wrong and when I open up a comment again it’ll put in what I wrote (like it was a draft mode) **scoff** how does that help me, now I gotta figure out what thread and who I replied to. Sometimes it was a long thread, the one just now was a simple comment. This app needs a fixing after this past update cause this issue has gotten old real fast..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Very slick app, tops the restI’ve been using Apollo (pro) exclusively above the Reddit app and Alien Blue and Narwhal, and it’s easily the best experience I’ve had out of all of them. The gestures are great, customisable and smooth. Everything runs quickly, much much better than the Reddit app for browsing images and GIFs. It’s like Alien Blue and iOS10 had a beautiful app baby and it works great. More than happy to support with a purchase..Version: 1.10.12
✓ Gonna miss you ApolloApollo was the best iOS Reddit client available. It was gold standard for Swift development and iOS design patterns. Apple featured Apollo in the App Store and during official keynote presentations. Due to greediness from Reddit, they priced the API access so high that third party apps have no option but to shut down. Reddit followed this up by releasing statements slandering the developer, Christian, accusing him of making threats to Reddit. I will not be using Reddit again once Apollo shuts down. My account of 12 years will be deleted. RIP Apollo.Version: 1.15.9
✓ The Essential Reddit App, periodThe most consistent and smoothest interaction with reddit I’ve ever had through a third party app. A few bugs and crashes here and there, which are easily mitigated by near constant support and updates and are a minor complaint of what has become my most used app by far. Love the UI, love the themes and love love love the gif scrolling. As a reddit Addict who has sampled quite a few apps over the year, this is by far the best. By a long shot..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Simply the best!Far superior to the official Reddit app. I have been using the pro version of Apollo for years and have never looked back. I just upgraded to Ultra last month and was so impressed to find that the developer had come up with even more improvements to the wonderful pro version. The features on this app are so amazing and make the Reddit experience so much smoother and more enjoyable. It’s so appalling that the developer is being forced out of business by Reddit's greed. I will certainly not be going back to using the clunky, featureless, spam filled piece of junk that is the official Reddit app. Christian, I wish you well with whatever your next endeavour is. So sorry Apollo has been brought to an end in such a cruel manner. Thank you for everything you have done..Version: 1.15.9
✓ The Reddit App you should be using.So. This just launched. The app has no limitations in its free to use state for browsing reddit with tonnes of customisability. I’ve already paid for the in-app purchase. This is what the reset app should be. It’s like Alien Blue, but phenomenally better. Gestures to save? Check. Filters to hide rubbish from salty subs (ahem r/DestinyTheGame) check. Additional bonus of changing the icon? Check. Dark mode? Yup. Multiple accounts? Also here. Seriously. Give this a bash. Then tell me you didn’t go and tip the developer with an In-App Purchase..Version: 1.0
✓ Peak iOS app. Sets the bar for all othersApollo is THE example for all iOS developers to follow. It is proof that users are willing to pay for quality rather than have ads rammed down your throat whilst being tracked on the slow, buggy, non-native official app, lazily programmed to run cross-platform, ignoring accessibility requirements and iOS-specific practices and features. Apollo achieves all this and more, and Reddits better than Reddit could ever dream of, despite being written by one developer. Since its demise, inflicted by Reddit, I have completely stopped using Reddit and my phone screen time is down to almost non-existent, as Apollo was virtually the only app I use. Reddit, its users, and Apple have lost a truly remarkable app..Version: 1.15.14
✓ Great app! But best suited for power users...I love Apollo, I have used it for months. And I paid for the pro and had an ultra subscription as well. The apps beautiful UI that blends well with the rest of iOS. However there are two things that bother me about the app. First, I feel the app adheres too well to the human interface guidelines. The apps hyper-minimalistic look creates a confusing and often buries you in a heap of menus with little to no pointers on what to do. This attempts to be remedied with occasional tips that pop up explaining some of the apps features. But it creates more of an annoyance to returning users or users just wanting to explore. Second, I feel like the app has too many features packed into one app as it attempts to cram casual and experienced browsing with searching and moderating. Features like the search bar are hidden while scrolling to make room for more of the screen, making it somewhat hard to get back up should you want to search in the middle of scrolling. Action sheets also tend to require a lot of scrolling to find a specific action, and some text is hard to select to go to subreddits and user pages. But Apollo overall is a really good app..Version: 1.6.1
✓ One of the best apps of all timeIt sounds like an overstatement but this really is one of the best apps I’ve ever used. Everything is incredibly intuitive, the interactions are fun, the UI is easy to understand and the developer has put so much love and hard work into this. I’m so sad that Reddit has made the decision to pull the plug on brilliant third-party apps like this. It signals the end of Reddit as a community-first company..Version: 1.15.12
✓ Better than webLeagues better than the god awful web version.Version: 1.9
✓ Perfect Reddit AppI hope Reddit dies out. I will never use the first party app. Apollo was infinitely better than anything the greedy losers at Reddit could come up with..Version: 1.15.9
✓ Best app for Reddit browsingThank you Apollo for all of the wonderful features and elegant UI choices that the original Reddit app could only dream of achieving. Thank you for the gestures, great media players, fantastic iOS support, and so much more. Thank you for caring about its users and not defaulting to throwing ads at its users for profit. It’s a shame that Reddit’s API changes and their greed have eventually come to shut this app down. This app did not deserve what Reddit threw at it. Ultimately, now many users will no longer have the great functionality of Apollo, and will be forced to use the “official” Reddit app filled with unbearable design choices, incessant ads, and countless other issues that make it unbearable, all in hopes that they can maximize profits by making sure everyone must use their ad-infested app. Even Apple loves this app and Reddit is sadly taking this app away from them as well. I’m really sad to see Apollo go soon but it’s impact will never be forgotten. Christian, if you’re reading this, thank you for the app and all of the hard work you’ve done for the Reddit community. Keep on creating and I hope you the best!.Version: 1.15.9
✓ The BEST way to use redditUnfortunately it’s being turned off due to Reddits API changes. RIP Apollo, you were the goat.Version: 1.15.9
✓ You’re a legend ChristianThank you for the amazing app Christian. It’s so sad that Apollo is ending this way but I’m sure you have many great things ahead. 🫡 F🤬🤬🤬 Spez.Version: 1.15.9
✓ 10/10 Reddit Experience.If you want to browse Reddit on iOS, stop here because Apollo is hands down the best Reddit experience you’re going to have on iOS. Apollo features so many great things, most importantly intuitive UI that is customizable to your preference. Many thanks to Christian (the developer) for constantly maintaining the app and keeping it the incredible experience it is!.Version: 1.7.1
✓ Fantastic Reddit client for iPhoneFrom first use, this app is a joy to use. It integrates incredibly well with the rest of iOS. The default settings are mostly intuitive (especially for first time users) and for those places where the app doesn’t do what you expect, the available options are extensive. What prompted me to write this review was actually a feature of the Ultra subscription (also available as a one time purchase). I’d put off purchasing Ultra for a while, as the biggest draw to me was the message/reply notifications but I still used Narwhal for that. I recently subscribed to support the developer, and got my first notification. It’s great, it feels like an iMessage notification with a quick reply sheet opening up so I can respond with the easy option to open the full app as well. The one limitation I encounter with this app is the iPad interface. It is not as well thought out as the iPhone interface; it’s basically a scaled up version of the iPhone interface. But as an iPhone app, this is the best Reddit client I’ve used (I even prefer it over the old and new website on a “real” computer)..Version: 1.8.1
✓ Great AppHave been using Apollo for close to a year and have been very happy with it. Much preferred over original reddit app.Version: 1.4.9
✓ Only app I’ve ever paid forWas great to be a part of history..Version: 1.15.12
✓ Incredible.Vastly improved responsiveness and interface. A lot more posts loaded in a far lesser timeframe, meaning I don't have to wait for posts to load at all. The inclusion of different tiers of night/dark mode is beautiful, as the basic one on the official reddit app didn't cut it for me. One thing that is bothersome is the inability to disable the little vibration occurs during certain actions such as upvoting or downvoting. I feel that such essential features of Reddit should not have preference driven features forced on the entire user-base. This is my only minor fault, yet it can be such an annoyance and almost a downright inconvenience to use. Otherwise, this app is leagues ahead of the original reddit interface and app as a whole. All in all, excellent work from the dev, keep it up!.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Brilliant App, Brilliant DeveloperDon’t bother looking at other Reddit clients, this is the one for you. The app is clean, beautiful and works flawlessly. Any bugs (they are incredibly few and far between) are squashed by the active developer immediately. I can’t say enough nice things about Apollo. At the least it’s worth a try, but I would strongly recommend upgrading to pro if you have the means!.Version: 1.1.8
✓ Well designed, a few bugs but getting betterApollo is the cleanest Reddit client I have used. All the little gestures, small features make it a pleasure to use. It’s simple layout might make it look spartan but it’s really a pleasant experience. You do have to pay to submit content (posts and comments) and I’m ok with that. It’s a nice client and it’s well worth the little money the developer asks for. All in all, a solid app..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Best Reddit readerApollo is fast, stable, and has loads of useful features. There is no reason to use any other inferior product. Get Apollo right now..Version: 1.8.4
✓ Apollo you will forever be in my heart <3Thank you for the good times. Also F*** Reddit.Version: 1.15.12
✓ Getting dangerously close...Just upgraded to 1.1.5 and as I was expecting some additional functionality, the update from 1.1.1 appears to be a step backwards. Running iOS 11.2.1 on an iPhone X, there are bugs explicitly mentioned in the change log which have been made worse, specifically the filtering from r/All (shows as filtered via button change but not added to filter list, nor able to manually enter a subreddit to the list). The four new icons have an error when applying (a popup actually comes up to contact the developer if I’m seeing the message, and the issue persists). There are just a few things missing which will allow me to delete Alien Blue once and for all. A gallery mode based on the current subreddit, and the ability to use gestures to filter subreddits from r/All are nearly the only things keeping me from permanently switching to Apollo. Also from a UI perspective, in compact mode, lines to break up posts are probably not necessary, as each post is identical in height, and merely an appropriate amount of white/black space between posts should suffice. Keep up the great work!.Version: 1.1.5
✓ Great app that has been miles off by RedditBye bye Reddit..Version: 1.15.9
✓ AmazingGreat alternative to the Reddit App. I have nothing against the official Reddit App, but Apolla is so much better. Its Apple styled design fits IOS so well. The intuative features are great, and integrate seamlessly. Highly recommend this app!.Version: 1.0
✓ Best Reddit ClientThis is by far the best reddit client out there, and I don’t just mean iOS but all platforms. Everything is designed with speed and the user in mind and in my case has worked wonders. Definitely worth paying for the upgrade!.Version: 1.1.9
✓ Phenomenal!I rarely take the time to review apps unless they really irritate me or they’re so good that I feel I need to let other people know. This app falls into the latter category. I was skeptical about even using an app to browse Reddit as the site lends itself well in its desktop version (not the horrendous mobile site) to browsing on the iPhone. But this app has completely changed how I am able to view the site. The controls are easy to use, the site is greatly streamlined, and the dark version of the app is beautiful to use with less strain on the eyes. The best feature I use regularly is the ability to switch profiles at the click of a button. I have different profiles I like to use to see certain subreddits (news, gaming, etc.) and it was always a hassle switching between them online. Now it takes no time at all. I highly recommend this app for anyone using Reddit!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Best Reddit app by a Country mile.This app is by far and away the best Reddit app of them all. The interface is so clean and easy to navigate around. The app developer is always very forthcoming with updates and was one of the first to update their app to make use of the iPhone XS Max larger and high resolution screen, whereas other apps on my phone had not been updated (and some still haven’t). The only thing that was lacking on this app was the push notifications feature. But I’m glad to say that with the latest update and an Ultra subscription you now get push notifications (along with other features) for a small fee. The asking price for the Ultra subscription is very reasonable and it’s well worth paying it to get the push notifications feature along with all the other features and also to help develop the app further into the future. The developer should be proud of themselves for developing such a professional and useful app. Well done developer 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.Version: 1.3
✓ Disappointed in Reddit, but LOVE ApolloI have used this app ever since I got my iPhone 11 and, it’s by far THE best app for Reddit and one of the only reasons that I even use Reddit. I can’t believe that the app is shutting down thanks to Reddits abhorrent greed, but this developer deserves nothing but praise and thanks for building a slick, intuitive, easy to use and customisable experience to replace the absolutely horrible official Reddit app. I’ll be sad to see this app shut down, and I doubt I’ll use Reddit as much, if at all, as a result of not being able to use Apollo..Version: 1.15.9
✓ My favourite reddit appAmazing customization and super easy to use, love it!.Version: 1.8.6
✓ Customization Options Set It ApartI’ve been an avid user of the official Reddit app and have done years of time wasting on it but have been recently using both since downloading Apollo as they each have their own individual benefits. However, I recently upgraded to the Ultra plan and made a one time purchase to unlock certain features and was well worth it and will be using Apollo as my primary Reddit app, not seeing any real need now to switch between. It also was impactful when I discovered the multireddit option on Apollo, that allows the individualized creation of a thematic, conglomerate of subreddits combined into one The customization options really are great and implement features I’d hoped the official app would have done long ago, most of which were available without purchase of any add ons. I also appreciate how the devs of this app respect the platform created by Reddit, (loading both apps produce the exact same content) and not trying to alter how the site runs or the algorithms used, just improved UI functionality and options..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Thanks for making Apollo!Thank you Christian for creating such a user-friendly and well designed app. Apollo is why I made a Reddit account to begin with and am just grateful for all of your and the other 3rd party devs efforts to make the app better and accessible for so many Reddit users. Also love pixel pal and will be looking forward to your next project (and pixel pal updates)! - a fellow Canadian.Version: 1.15.9
✓ PerfectCouldn’t have asked for a better reddit app replacement. I don’t know what reddit is doing with their app, but it’s definitely not as good as this one.Version: 1.11.2
✓ Love Apollo, HATE Reddit and leaving forever!Christian you’ve done an awesome job with Apollo and it’s hands down my favorite app!! However, because I was just permanently banned for “racism” for discussing experiencing racism as a white child in Hawaii (where I grew up) and how I can’t relate to systemic racism experienced by actual minorities but can appreciate the experience in what it taught me, (with sources about white “haoles” and black “papolos” getting targeted by locals) I will not be able to use the app any more. The moderators petitioned for an IP ban and the admins approved it without even discussing it with me and said I was promoting racist propaganda against native Hawaiians?! It’s such a clearly documented occurrence my head spun when I woke up to a ban email this morning!! Anyway, I wish I could financially support you without having to stay subscribed to anything attached to Reddit. Do you have a gofundme or patreon?? I never thought to look at the subreddit to see if you did. I hope the website admins and mods don’t turn on you or other users of Apollo anytime soon..Version: 1.10.6
✓ Couple suggestionsFirst off I’m just gonna say that the app is really great. I used the official reddit app for so long but I find that it’s really slow sometimes. This app is silky smooth. There are however a few suggestions that I would like to make: - It would be great for there to be option for spoiler posts to remain visible when scrolling through the post once it has been clicked on. If I want to look at a picture again then I have to click on it rather than just scrolling back to the top and having a quick look. - I have two reddit accounts and it’d be great if they had their own set of favourite subreddits. At the moment any subreddit you mark as a favourite on one account is marked as a favourite on the other account. - One thing I miss from the original app is the subreddit banners at the top and the subreddit icons. It would be great if these could be incorporated into the app..Version: 1.6
✓ Best purchaseI’m not normally a big fan of purchasing mobile apps, but after reading everywhere that Apollo was better than the official mobile app, I had to try it out. Within hours of trying I had already upgraded to Pro. By the next day, I was on Ultra Lifetime. The upgrades are well worth it, if not for the extra themes alone. This was worth every penny and I highly recommend this to everyone looking for a decent reddit client..Version: 1.4.6
✓ Easily the best reddit appApollo is easily the best reddit app available for the iPhone, not only because of how full-featured it is but also because of its reliability (an issue with some other reddit clients I’ve tried). My one complaint for most users is not that relevant to them, but it’s relevant enough to my situation that it is worth mentioning: 4” iPhone optimization could be a little bit better. (Models of iPhones with these screen sizes include the 5, 5s, 5c, and most importantly these days the SE). When I navigate to a subreddit the only immediately-available options for me in the navigation bar are a go back option, a change subreddit option, and a sort-by option. The rest of my options are hidden under an other button. While understandable, it can be somewhat annoying as the ability to customize this navigation bar to have smaller buttons so I can immediately access a submission button would be a welcome option. (Adding a compact mode for navigation would also suffice). But really, that’s a minor complaint that mostly only effects me. Get Apollo and delete your other reddit client..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Best ios reddit app periodThis app is fantastic for those who are used to Apple’s style of gestures and fluidity. The controls are intuitive and layout is concise, allowing for excellent condensation of material to be consumed!.Version: 1.4.16
✓ Great substitute to the official Reddit AppThe app is fantastic, smooth and clean. My only issue with it at the moment is the small bugs I've encountered (For example, when I turn my phone horizontally it glitches out the writing on the front page sometimes.) but since the few bugs I have encountered which just seem as a small inconvenience, it was still enough to make me finally let go of the dying Alien Blue.Version: 1.1.8
✓ MagnificentThe most engaged, open to suggestions developer on iOS. No exaggeration. Leaps and bounds above any other Reddit client I’ve used. I had to go for the “ultra” option, but the free app is also superb. Truly, once you get to know how the developer keeps constant tabs on the users, it makes paying for the higher tiers a no brainer. I aspire to be this good after I complete my coding course!.Version: 1.10.6
✓ Goodbye ApolloF r/spez. Reddit has loser volunteers and paid people to rate this app low for reasons that aren’t true. I have been using this app for years and not once have I encountered issues. They are lying to the audience to dissuade people to support the Apollo developers who are providing a free service for the community and premium is an option that isn’t mandatory for a good experience. Reddit has upped the price for API to millions of dollars, and small companies trying to provide for the community will not find it impossible to meet the greet demands. I hope the Reddit CEO has an early heart attack and does not recover from it.Version: 1.15.12
✓ Forced to switch and glad I didI recently upgraded my phone to an iPhone XR on the newest update to iOS and had to find an alternative to Alien Blue. Read great things about this app so I figured I would try it out. The interface is familiar and intuitive. The controls are simple but also easy to modify. The only negative was having to pay to be able to submit posts and comments, but honestly, after using the app for a while, I’m super happy to support the dev. Also, at first I had an issue where I was unable to submit posts or comments or even upvote even after upgrading to Pro. I submitted a ticket via the “contact us” button in the app and received a reply the same day asking for additional info to solve the problem. Turns out, the problem had nothing to do with the app, just my account. Now I have zero issues and am happy to continue using it..Version: 1.4
✓ Clean, intuitive, ad and clutter freeA great reddit client that feels like an extension of iOS. Works very well, slick and fast browsing on an iPhone 6. Developer is extremely responsive to suggestions and bug notifications in the app subreddit. Highly recommend checking it out as even the free version is not really lacking. Worth supporting if you feel like it though! Cheers..Version: 1.0
✓ Swipe left / not up or downHey dude. Love the app. Paid for full app within like 3 minutes of use. Only addition which would be nice, is that when you tap on content. I’d like to be able to swipe left. Instead of up or down to get back to my home. It’s left to go back anywhere else except when the dock isn’t visible. Cheers.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Best App for Reddit - I'll Miss ItThis was the best part of Reddit. It made Reddit useable on your phone and iPad. No more ads. You can customize your experience. For instance, I set Apollo so it wouldn't show me stuff I already viewed. There were other customizations and other technical stuff that I quite frankly don't understand that made this app work as beautifully and as flawlessly as an Apple Stock app. It just worked and was a pleasure to use. But the folks who run Reddit decided to effectively kill off third party apps. I won't get into the reasons or take sides. But the bottom line is this app and all other third party apps for Reddit don't work. The only app for Reddit is the official Reddit app, which is just horrible. I'm not sure if I'll continue to even use Reddit since I've grown so use to not having to put up with ads, not seeing the same post I already read and interacted with, and having a great user experience. It was truly fun while it lasted..Version: 1.15.12
✓ Almost great, but the negatives eventually kill itVery easy to navigate and well designed, but I'm installing it anyway. Why? Bugs like the way rotating to view an image or video often scrolls you way back up your feed when you return, image scaling bugs, and inability to follow links to other Reddit content that have been around forever and irritate me multiple times every session..Version: 1.2
✓ Best Way to engage with RedditThis app has been built with its user in mind. I was late to the Apollo party, but when I finally became fed up with the useless Reddit App, I went hunting for a new way to view content. Every person and forum that I looked to for suggestions, implored me to look into Apollo. I have not looked back since! It is a shame that Reddit is too arrogant to realise the positive impact the Apollo App has had on Reddit’s viewership. If not for the Apollo App, I would have given up on reddit a long time ago. And TBH, my OCD isn’t going to like an Apollo-less world. I think my days on reddit are numbered. Thanks for the easy user experience Apollo. 🫡.Version: 1.15.9
✓ Great app for RedditIt comes with a bunch of different features to the reddit app and i believe it is worth spending the money on the upgraded version. Although I would enjoy some features of the default reddit app such as swiping left/right on an image to go to the next image on the sub. This is replaced though in the upgraded version as gif scrubbing so that is a trade off. All around a great app with tons of customisation and active development taking place with new feature updates regularly..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Love the iPhone version; the iPad version needs an improved UIAbsolutely enjoying using this client on the iPhone. Very refined. On my iPad however the UI needs some improvement. There are huge empty spaces on either of the post listings. A sidebar similar to the native email client would help with navigating through multireddits etc. In spite of having “tipped” this app as a lifetime supporter, I’ve deleted this app in preference to Comet..Version: 1.10.12
✓ Better than defaultBrilliant Reddit client, in my experience the best on iPhone. Some of the features are stuck behind in app purchases however the app is more than usable without the pro or ultra versions. Its faster and more reliable than the default app and definitely worth trying out. And all of this is made even more impressive when you find out the whole app is developed by one guy!.Version: 1.8.4
✓ Thank you ChristianDuck u/spez.Version: 1.15.9
✓ Great app, beautifully designedI started off hating this app, just because it was different to what I was used to, but I thought I’d give it a go and see what all the fuss was about, now after about 2 months of using it I actually hate using the official reddit app, everything is clear and clean, no weird ads that try get me to stay on the site by going to other subreddits. Clean honest, non addictive design that’s just a pleasure to use - thank you.Version: 1.1.9
✓ Beats the desktop, hands-downUpdated to mark the end of this app's life: I don't have the superlatives to describe this app, and how much its absence of friction compared to *everything* else (including the official app) contributed to my enjoyment of Reddit both as a content consumer and moderation of a small subreddit. Nothing's perfect, but wow, this was getting there. What a sad sad day. Best of luck for the future Christian. Last review: The update for iOS 14 brings so much I paid for the app again (the Tip Jar) and it addresses the one thing I was considering requesting: flairs now show up. Previous review: Impressive list of features, stable too. First, the negatives: it crashed once and the moderator features took half a day to show up (new moderator, so probably related to Reddit’s speed.) Everything else? Amazing. (I’d push the moderator feature a bit more in the publicity materials, brilliant!).Version: 1.15.9
✓ Sad to see Apollo goThe Apollo app made browsing Reddit fun and removed the tedium that the official Reddit developers seem unwilling to fix. If Apollo and other such third-party apps are being forced off Reddit then so am I. Reddit’s developers should be ashamed of their greedy decision/division-making..Version: 1.15.12
✓ A Great CreationApollos creator blew me away with this app, I'm incredibly impressed by the high quality and intuitive feel, the professional and clean look and the customisation you can make. It is the superior reddit app in every way and it keeps being improved based on suggestions by users. The app also has its own subreddit where users can post questions, suggestions and complaints and the creator(s?) see it..Version: 1.1.1
✓ You have an iPhone, why aren’t you using Apollo?Simply put, Apollo is the best Reddit experience you can get on an iPhone, one that is thoughtfully designed from the ground up by an ex-Apple developer who has done and excellent job in making Apollo feel like it has “Designed by Apple in California” written on the back of it. The base app is free, and unlike many “free” apps, it is not deliberately crippled to force its users to shell out for the pro version to have an enjoyable experience. Try it out, you have nothing to lose. It took me a few months of flipping back and forth between Apollo and the official Reddit app (RIP Alien blue) but I’ve come to love Apollo and it stands out as the superior reddit app in every single regard. So thank you to Christian, the one man band behind this wonderful app, thank you for putting your users first and being transparent with the development of Apollo every step of the way, you set the benchmark for good consumer practices in a world where screwing your install base for every nickel and dime has become standard operating procedure..Version: 1.4.27
✓ The best iOS Reddit client, hands down.The title says it all. Apollo has been the best Reddit experience an iOS user can have, and I am sad to see it go because of Reddit’s API changes. The user interface is both intuitive and gorgeous-looking. The features it provides, even on the Pro tier, are plentiful. It is to the point where using Reddit can actually be quite addicting. It is, and always will be, truly leaps and bounds ahead of what Reddit themselves offers. Once again, I am sad to see it go. Christian, you have done some brilliant here work over the years, and for that, we all thank you. I wish you all the best on your future endeavours..Version: 1.15.9
✓ Easily the best iOS Reddit clientFantastic app, easily the best reddit client on iOS. Great developer who listens to community feedback and integrates it. Great options in terms of upgrading the experience if you choose. Above all, it’s an app that seems to be designed for how people actually use reddit which is all you can ask for. Plus, the design is very iOS so it’s not jarring to have to think about how to do common stuff..Version: 1.6.4
✓ Best reddit client ever!This app is fantastic. Much better than the regular version of reddit. It allows you to have so many different looks for the app with icons and many different layouts which don’t waste lots and lots of space like the default app. I don’t mind ads but the way the regular reddit app and website displays reddit ads is misleading and shouldn’t be allowed and isn’t user friendly. However Apollo doesn’t display ads which is handy. There is one limitation for the app for the free edition. You can’t have multiple reddit accounts. But since I believe in supporting in what I love I happily paid for Apollo pro. Definitely recommended for anyone who uses reddit..Version: 1.10.5
✓ Good appThis is a solid reddit client however I’m finding that the Touch ID doesn’t always work as intended. Frequently, when going back into the app it will just hang on the Touch ID screen (or won’t even display it) and I need to force quit the app to use it again (losing my place regarding whatever I was reading). Apart from this issue, I love this app. Hopefully this will get fixed soon..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Fantastic Reddit ClientFixed so many things that were wrong with the original Reddit app. Such a shame that Reddit forced Apollo to shut down. Thanks for all your hard work - you will be missed!.Version: 1.15.9
✓ Fantastic!Polished app has clearly had a great deal of thought invested! Wow the 1.5 release is even better with improved moderator and messaging support!.Version: 1.5
✓ Way better than the official appAnd it helps that the developer isn’t a liar like Steve Huffman.Version: 1.15.9
✓ Apollo app for redditI’ve been using this app for a few months now and it has been nothing but amazing. It does not crash, ever. The UI is incredibly intuitive and allows you to make certain changes to which gestures do what. The app has access to more functionality than the official app! You can see the sidebar for subreddits and, with Apollo premium, which I purchased in the first few days as I was such enjoying the app, you can easily change accounts with 3 button presses. There is also a passcode/touchID lock if you enable it. Thanks Apollo for getting me back into reddit..Version: 1.1.9
✓ Daily used/ best support from app devI use this app daily and the app dev actually contacted me twice within minutes regarding any issues. My fav app!.Version: 1.4.23
✓ Won’t ever be going back to Reddit without ApolloOf course I’ve had the web version open when using the now broken google search in order to actually find information, but I won’t be going back the same way. I won’t be downloading another app, especially not their awful app. Unless I absolutely can’t find a forum or discord that I can post a question and get an answer, I won’t be engaging regularly anymore. I haven’t since this app and others were shut down, and I honestly don’t miss Reddit–I loved using this app, and if there was a standalone Apollo Reddit clone, I’d totally use that, but the whole kill all third party apps thing gave me a bad taste in my mouth for Reddit as a whole, and outside of their insidious function as a utility for information (which I will certainly continue to search for alternatives for), I don’t see myself using or wanting to use it. I’m tired of entitled corporations imposing their lifeless will on us..Version: 1.15.15
✓ The app that should’ve been around soonerWell done Christian. You’ve built an amazing app that makes me just have to pull out my iPhone instead of my main LG V20 to use, which says a lot. It’s clean, follows Apple design principles, is easy to use and even literally feels great in the hand, thanks to that awesome haptic feedback! I know you certainly wasn’t expecting this app to blow up as much as it has, so congratulations on your new found success. Couldn’t be happier that I was an earlier supporter of this masterpiece..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Good, but takes some time to get used toI like the app so far, it seems very promising. I like how it is different from the original reddit app and refreshes the experience for me. The dark mode is very appealing! For the negatives though, first of all, lots of the actions need the membership. I understand about customisation and things, but when trying to change the gestures, it says I need a membership. I understand that the creator needs the money, but if it hinders my experience, it is annoying. Secondly, the layout takes a bit of time to get used to. It seems like all the posts are connected and for me, it is kind of hard to figure out where everything is. For example, when clicking on a post, I end up tapping on something else and get directed to it. Finally, I would like to mention that the swiping gestures are a bit confusing. I forget which is which and if i swipe too far, it ends up being something else. I hope you take the criticism on board! Great app that I couldn’t possible do myself..Version: 1.6
✓ Incredible app! Worth it every penny.I got Apollo when it first came out and now I can’t go back to the official Reddit app. I paid 99¢ or $1.99 for the paid version initially, and even though I don’t have the premium subscription version I don’t feel like I’m missing anything. The initial payment was well worth it - this app is the best third party Reddit client without a doubt. There’s no ads, an intuitive UI, almost every feature the Reddit app has plus extra. The customer service is great too; when I got a new phone and couldn’t figure out how to restore my purchase, I emailed the developer and he got back to me within an hour. I would’ve paid for it again, though. It’s constantly being updated with fresh new features for both one time purchase members and premium members. One thing I would suggest is a way to implement the new Reddit chat feature into the app, but I’m sure the developer is working on it. I recommend this app to every friend of mine that uses Reddit. Dev, keep up the great work!.Version: 1.10.9
✓ Best Reddit app interface and featuresSo much better than the default Reddit app. Love all of the features, the clean and beautiful interface in dark mode, the ability to easily switch between accounts, the amount of thought that was put into making the experience as complete, powerful and elegant as possible. Good work :).Version: 1.6.2
✓ Love it but one minor issueHey I wanted to bring this to the attention of the developer. I’d give 5 stars but want to help by bringing this to your attention, sometimes in my inbox messages will be redbone infinitely. Let’s say I have 5 messages in total, after the fifth it would just keep repeating the 5 messages over and over. It doesn’t always happen and I’m not sure what triggers it but just something I’d like you to know. Aside from that this app is buttery smooth and the native feel to it gives it an edge over any other reddit apps, even reddit themselves cannot date compete against this app. This app leaves reddit quaking in their boots as they cannot hope to achieve the epicness of an app such as this, coming from a lone developer, with their current superstar dev teams. Sorry I just felt like writing something cool. Again, aside from the inbox bug, everything this app offers is a blessing. Give it a shot if you like lightning fast apps and reddit..Version: 1.1.1
✓ The end of an eraApollo will be missed it always was better than Reddit just too nice to use. From the interface to a couple small features this app was good..Version: 1.15.9
✓ Finally a worthy successor to Alien BlueI love reddit. I spend a large portion of my free time on the site and I used to do this using Alien Blue, easily on of the best iOS reddit clients ever released. But after reddit swooped in and choked the life out of that precious app, I went on the hunt for a proper replacement. Two years ago, I stumbled across this app when it was first announced and decided to give it a try. Things were tough for a while. One developer and a mountain of bugs and problems. So while I continued to use alternatives as my main reddit experience, I kept coming back to this app for more casual browsing. And finally the app is here and it's everything it was promised to be and more. Absolutely fantastic. Proper iPad support and a few other QOL features would make it even better, but it's worth not only a download and a five-star rating, but a solid purchase and extra tip as well. Great job Christian and I can't wait to see where the app goes next..Version: 1.10.6
✓ Charging money for NOTIFICATIONS.They’re charging $0.99 per month to be notified of new messages. I’m talking to a depressed person and it’s awful that I missed their messages because of this. I now have to set an outside alarm to remind me to check messages regularly. Most apps are bugging people to set up notifications. But here you have to pay for that. Yes, you read this correctly... people are required to PAY to be notified of messages. Apollo is basically fine otherwise, and was superior to Narwal and the Reddit app (obviously), but wow this ruined it. Didn’t realize they were scrounging... (or arrogant?). It’s not so much about the money, but the principle of it. What level of snob do you need to be to do this. You already have a tip jar, you have premium upgrades, you have Gold and Silver purchases. At some point, you didn’t stop to think that making your users pay for notifications (which benefits YOU as a company, reminding people to open the app!) might be on a bit of another level? I truly believed you saw your users as more than a product, but I guess I’m wrong. Guess there’s always a catch..Version: 1.4.6
✓ I already paidI already paid for the app. Stop serving me popular ads for the Ultra version..Version: 1.15
✓ Good features, layout’s a bit weirdI downloaded this primarily to be able to block popular subreddits from /r/all that I’m just not interested in like twoxchromosomes and latestsgecapitalism, and it works, so that’s nice! Overall it’s really good and comes with loads of features, but it’s not free - you can’t even post without paying. I’m totally fine with paying to support the devs though so will be keeping it, and it’s a one off payment. Only niggle is the layout. I get it’s going for more of a iPhone-esque design, but many areas don’t flow as easily as the official mobile app. That said never having to sign into the desktop version again and filtering /r/all alone was worth it for me!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Best iOS app for Reddit hands downThe most useable way to enjoy reddit communities. Well thought out, well designed, and well executed app. Christian is doing an amazing job with this! Btw, my App Store is highlighting a feedback comment from FIVE years ago here. Seriously Apple?.Version: 1.15.8
✓ Best Reddit appThis is easily the best Reddit app for iOS, such a pity Reddit is now banning all third party apps. Thank you for all the years of service Apollo, it was great!.Version: 1.15.9
✓ Best reddit app!Been using this app for years. Nothing else out there has been designed to the same quality..Version: 1.6
✓ Reddit as it should beApollo is probably the best way to navigate Reddit by apps. Far better than the Reddit app itself, and is arguably better than other 3rd party apps. The free version offers huge functionality which is enough for browsing and generally enjoying Reddit. The paid for version is affordable, and adds additional functionality for a better experience. There are a few items (such as submitting posts) which only come with the paid version, but this did not impact my experience and was a good reason for the paid app. The advertisement for the paid version is also minimally intrusive, which is wonderful and not in your face all the time like paid functions in the actual Reddit app. The app is stable and runs well, and functions how you want it to (by the settings) rather than how someone else wants you to. I don’t use the Ultra version, so I cannot comment. I thoroughly recommend this, in the very least get the free version, then if you enjoy it please support the creator, a lot of work has been put into this app..Version: 1.10.6
✓ BEST REDDIT EXPERIENCE EVER!Doesn’t matter if you get the free version or pay for Pro or even Ultra, this is hands down the best way to browse Reddit! The official Reddit app cannot compare to the awesomeness that is Apollo. It’s even more amazing when you consider that it was developed and is still maintained by just one guy who constantly takes suggestions from users and always listens when bugs are reported on the r/ApolloApp subreddit. Download it, you will not regret it. Would give 10 stars if I could!.Version: 1.8.1
✓ Flawless appSuch a beautiful look and feel to this app, hands down some of the cleanest looking GUI that I’ve seen on an iOS application. Plus incredibly customisable and practical.Version: 1.1.5
✓ Great appSlick and definitely feels like an iOS app. My only feedback would be that I prefer the way Alien Blue doesn't automatically have all posts open as you scroll down. Scrolling down on Apollo I have loads and loads of full size photos and gifs playing, whereas I like how I can see more posts at a glance on Alien Blue and then choose what to open. Edit: just found compact mode, it's a little hidden as the option to enable it didn't appear in with all the other settings. Looks great :).Version: 1.0
✓ Blurred icon covering up thumbnailsThanks for the great efforts to date! Just a question, in compact view, do the blurred icons for safari links and the letters “GIF” for gifs now cover up almost the entire thumbnails? I don’t remember them being so prominent before the update. Thought they were much smaller and in the lower left hand corner (similar to the offical app)..Version: 1.1.5
✓ Much better than native Reddit appI don’t usually write reviews but feel inclined to do so for this app because it’s vastly improved my Reddit browsing experience, so much show I upgraded to the Pro version so I didn’t have to use the native app at all. Great not to have any ads, much easier to use in general, but by far the best feature is being able to block keywords or particular subreddits so when I’m browsing popular I can at least semi-tailor what I see to be relevant. Would be nice if it remembered recently visited subs or if the search function was improved - I visit a few subs fairly regularly that I don’t actually subscribe to and would prefer if these were remembered so I didn’t have to type them into the search bar to find them each time..Version: 1.10.7
✓ It’s not even closeI used alien blue until reddit bought it and turned it into the travesty that is the official client. When that happened I just assumed I’d be stuck with a subpar app. The reality is I’ve never been happier at seeing an app I used get bastardized, because Apollo is all anyone ever wanted and more, and each release gives more, and more, and more, and... you get the drift. This app is so good. I don’t know why it’s taken me until now to write a review, but seeing and experiencing the release notes in this version just made it a necessity. Apollo knocks it out of the park far too often for me not to leave a review on at least one version. It’s one of those no-brainer decision apps. For Reddit, There’s nothing better, period. Any chance you’d consider applying your awesomeness to a Hacker news app Christian? Pleeeeeaaaasssseee.Version: 1.8.1
✓ Best social media appThis app made browsing Reddit seamless and beautiful. Wonderful app and I am very sad to see Reddit sewer it this way. Spez is an idiot.Version: 1.15.9
✓ Please add lock screen rotation optionApollo is great thanks! I always browse reddit in vertical screen but currently have to lock my phones rotation on and off before opening the app. When will this change happen?.Version: 1.4.25
✓ Overall, a great app with only a couple of small issues.Firstly, I think the developer of this app has done a fantastic job, I appreciate the fact that I am paying an upfront cost for a good quality app; however, I do not like it when apps try to impose subscriptions on you for extra features. My two (small) issues are these: 1) In the search option, instead of giving you three options to search users, subreddits and posts, I’d appreciate it if we could search through all and that they be segmented off by their three types. It would also be nice if we could press a button after the search was completed to filter these into the three types. 2) As an Apple user who is heavily invested in Google apps, it would also be nice if we had the option to upload photos/videos directly from Google Photos as opposed to having to download them and select them in Apple’s Photos app. Otherwise, the extra security with the Touch ID option and the customisability with the ability to change the icon make a pleasant experience that I throughly enjoy. Great job!.Version: 1.10.4
✓ Top app.Without a doubt my favourite app of all time. It's a complete shame how bad Reddit treated the developer. Thank you for everything..Version: 1.15.9
✓ Brilliant Reddit HostIt’s a great app, honestly! So easy to use, the functions and customisation is incredible! There’s a few bugs, but the developer is keenly working on them and takes the time to acknowledge peoples issues (I’m not sure if my issues are internet connection related or app related) It’s a beautifully designed app, and worth the upgrade to pro!.Version: 1.1.9
✓ The only app I use to access RedditApollo is the only app I use to access Reddit and sadly with the most recent developments surrounding API access Apollo is going away😭 I unfortunately have no idea how I will use Reddit going forward. I discovered Apollo by accident years ago and fell I love instantly! The app is very easy to use and although I did not use many of its advanced features I did not hesitate to pay for premium simply to remove the adds and gain access to the themes & icons. Apollos interface made browsing Reddit on my iPhone and iPad so seamless I thought it was an official app at first. I recently‘s upgraded my subscription to Ultra and this is where some additional useful functionality was unlocked. I am really really sad to know that it will be going away at the end of June, Reddit maybe loosing an active user like Twitter did😒..Version: 1.15.9
✓ Thanks for all the fishReally enjoyed using this app to make reddit a fun place to hang out and learn all sorts of things. I tried a few of the others but the UX and the customisation made this the winner app. Sadly the reddit management did what managers always do, so now we have to go. It’s not a bad thing in the end, as mindless scrolling had become the default behaviour: don’t get me wrong, the community content was really valuable and I contributed where I could (and got put in my place when I was wrong too, thanks). But it’s time to go, time to walk away and build something new together. Thanks Christian, it’s been a blast for the last 10 years or so. Good luck mate..Version: 1.15.11
✓ Thank youThis app is the GOAT and is one of the only reasons I use Reddit. Will surely miss it a lot..Version: 1.15.9
✓ Still amazing a year later.This app is beautiful, both in terms of looks and UI design. It’s a pleasure to use and has loads of little quality-of-life features that you’ll discover and enjoy over time. The developer is a legend and is constantly engaging with the community. Updates are relatively slow (it’s just the one guy), but they’re featured-packed and bring meaningful improvements every time. Easily the best Reddit app (on any platform)..Version: 1.3
✓ So much better than official Reddit appThe Apollo app has so many features & customization that the official app doesn’t have. Fairly often when I’m scrolling through Reddit I read comments/posts complaining about problems with the Reddit app that I have never had to experience. Also - no ads every other post! You can get even more optimization if you pay but to access most things there is no paywall required. The only thing that might be a downside if your looking for an entirely free option is that any notifications you’d normally get (like comment replies, comments on your posts, private messages, etc..) are completely disabled unless you are paying the monthly $1 or $2 basic subscription fee for the app. Can’t really blame the dev for choosing to do that though because it’s a great incentive to get people to sign up. Either way the creators definitely deserve the moey! It’s an amazing app and they are continuously making the app better and better..Version: 1.10.12
✓ Its perfect for ios, but...When i saw reddit(iphone app), it was confusing, i didnt know how to go to different subbredit(i am not that good at english) and it was complicated, but appolo is much simpler, i can go to different subbs more simply, everything is designed just for ios, overall, ist easy to use. But the problem is that i need to pay for stuff that is one of the reasong people go on reddit, to post, and you make us pay for that, i am still giving this app 5 stars, its amazing, but the need to pay for posting and notifications is just weird. But one more reason to pay, that made me give this 5 stars, is that is an idie app, and its really nice from him to make this “ios version” of reddit for us to use, that is 50% of the reason why i paid 6.99$ for premium, other 50% is to make posts. And i dont understand how to get awards of coins here, but i dont care about those. So overall, the app is great, i reccommend, but only if you are willing to give at least 4.99$(one time purchase) to be able to post, change icon, etc. But even if you dont, the app is great, it goes with ios..Version: 1.10.4
✓ Litteraly the Best100 percent, the experience I've had with Apollo is unmatched. I can't recommend getting the pro version enough. It takes the really solid visual and gesture systems that are already in place, and allows you to customize them even further to create a very personalized and highly intuitive experience. The amount of effort the dev consistently puts into this app is massive, and it shows. Bug fixes and QoL changes are present in every update, and there is constant communication between the dev and the apps subreddit. I can't remember the last time I saw real patch notes on an app that wasn't just the throwaway line: "bug fixes and performance improvements," but instead a detailed outline of every change that was made, no matter how small, and it's the little things like that that really show how much care goes into the app..Version: 1.12
✓ Fantastic updateThere were a few little issues that have been dealt to over the last couple of months. Fantastic app and dev, well worth purchasing the Pro upgrade.Version: 1.4.6
✓ The superior Reddit appApollo is incredibly good. I have used it for years and have been consistently surprised and impressed with the quality. Additionally the developer, Christian, clearly has so much care and respect for users of the app. The updates are well thought out and purposeful, and it is the only app I am more than happy to pay for. Thank you for everything Christian!.Version: 1.13.1
✓ The Absolute Best Reddit ClientI have never used a more fantastic app! I have spent too many hours browsing Reddit using Apollo. I tried all the iOS reddit apps after the Reddit acquisition of Alien Blue back in the mid-2010s, but Apollo was the one that was the best. /u/iamthatis was always listening to his users for feedback on how to improve the app in every facet! It has all the features you could want with fluid navigation and top tier customization. I jumped on the highest support tier from very early one and have been an Ultra user since the tier lauched. I am sad that Reddit is killing Apollo and all other 3rd party Reddit clients, but I will always appreciate Apollo and /u/iamthatis for the hard work put in over the years..Version: 1.15.9
✓ In memoriam of ChumbusFirst of all, I would like to say thank you for taking the time to read my review. Many give this app praise for it’s amazing layout, streamlined look, and amazing UX, however I care not for the incredible app that is Apollo. I care only for Chumbus the Button. Many of you may not now about Chumbus, but he is a dear friend of mine. When I first encountered Chumbus, I knew not his name, his purpose, or his goals. However after interacting with Chumbus every now and again I got to know him. Over the minutes that we spent time with each other a great sea of emotion was experienced between us. Happiness, sadness, anger, love, and now I only feel guilt. Guilt that I took advantage of Chumbus, guilt that only I can bear. I drove him away, and he left me in a pitch black UI. I hope that one day I tap Chumbus the Button and see his notification box on my screen again, I hope that I can tell him I’m sorry for my transgressions. I hope. Signed, u/ObamasPetCow.Version: 1.6.2
✓ The best Reddit app there is, no doubt about it.Apollo is simply perfect, and you don’t really realize how many features you wanted in a Reddit app until you use Apollo. I used RiF for years and thought I really liked it, and when I made the switch to iOS about a year ago I was annoyed that I had to give it up. I tried 3 different apps on iOS before finally giving Apollo a shot, and that was that. It’s heaven compared to all of its competitors. Swipe to upvote/downvote/save/reply along with haptic feedback is so convenient to use that I find myself engaging in comments far more than I did previously (there’s something so satisfying about that little “bzzt”). The ability to map your own gestures for different actions within the app is awesome too. On top of all that, it’s just a beautiful, sleek looking app that was clearly designed by someone who knows their stuff when it comes to UX. Apollo also has its own subreddit, and Christian the sole developer is very active in it and is constantly adding features requested there. He’s a solid dude. Do yourself a favor and try it even if you think you love your current app. I can promise that you won’t regret it..Version: 1.6.3
✓ Sleek, easy and affordableThis reddit port took me awhile to get used to at first, but that was because I didn’t use it as often as I should have. Once I gave it a fair go after a week I had fully switched to this app. My favourite feature is the multireddit option, which allows a feed of select subreddits you chose. The friends tab actually give friends on reddit an actual use. The comfort and easy methods of everyday reddit actions like upvoting and saving are extremely convenient as they rely on the simple swipe of a finger. 10/10 I have recommended this to my friends and Apollo pro is worth it if you are an everyday redditor..Version: 1.4.20
✓ Best App for RedditAn absolute dream app! Makes browsing Reddit easy and fun. Loads of customisation- including a range of logo created by Artists in the community. Customer service is second to none. Apollo IS Reddit..Version: 1.15.9
✓ Apollo trumps Antenna!!Came from another Reddit app called Antenna. It was one of the best mobile Reddit experiences I ever had, simple and clean and so many useful gestures I wouldn’t have to lift a fingir sometimes. Sadly the app hasn’t been updated in a month or so but before that performance was getting real bad with stuttering and crashing frequently. While on the Antenna sub people were recommending this app as an alternative to the official Reddit app. Although I had to make a donation to unlock gestures to get it to work similarly to Antenna this new app is far superior in many ways. It’s really fast and snappy and actually loads everything with no major problems so far. Some more positives is the dark mode on Apollo is far superior to Antenna’s, and if you have an iPhone X there’s a darker mode to take advantage of the OLED panel. I’ve made this my default Reddit app now although I will still go back and forth with my old ones if the performance ever improves but for now I’m gonna use Apollo heavily now!!!.Version: 1.2.4
✓ Great Reddit ClientI’d been trying out various reddit apps to see which i likes and always found myself going back to the standard reddit app. The app whilst good never felt complete or like anything special but Apollo has been amazing since the get go. Updates are quick and the developer listens to issues and takes advice from its users! Such a great reddit alternative that doesn’t feel like one and is perfect with iOS.Version: 1.1
✓ Still brilliantI have been using Apollo for over a year now and I haven’t regretted any off it. I very rarely have problems with the app and the ones I do have are minor. It has even more features then when I first got the app. It works very nicely with my IPad. Overall I’d highly recommend to anybody who lives Reddit but believes the app leaves a lot to desire.Version: 1.12.2
✓ Jump button customisationThis is a great app but the only thing holding me back from buying pro is that I can’t long press and move the jump button to a custom position, i know you can manually change it in settings but I don’t like any of those positions - I know it’s a small complaint.. but it’s frustrating because I really like this app and it’s the only thing holding me back, also the jump button is a little large for me..Version: 1.2.3
✓ Really niceNeed a few ui fixes but other than that it’s a really nicely polished app..Version: 1.0
✓ I love Apollo and used it for years, but the chat interface is an issue now.Reddit now seems to support two different methods for chat, one as private message and one as a traditional "DM" a la messenger. For some reason I have had quite a bit of difficulty getting accurate chat updates through Apollo regarding "chat" functionality, though it has worked fine with "private message" functionality. It's a bit nuanced, and I'm probably doing something wrong- but I got enough hubris to think that I'm tech savvy. Messaging functionality through Apollo should be a bit more intuitive. For the time being I switched over to the original Reddit app, but I used Apollo for years and don't regret buying the full version of the app. I'd actually recommend it. The new widget functionality, customization, and other things the app contains are great and give me hope for the app in the future. I don't think Apollo is going to have the same end as Tweetbot, but for the next few months or so I'll probably be using the official Reddit app and then check to see if things are a bit better..Version: 1.14.21
✓ FarewellBest iOS app that I’ve used so far. Such a shame Reddit is killing third party APIs. I’m going to miss Apollo once it’s gone..Version: 1.15.9
✓ Great app. Offline mode?This app is great, but I’d love for there to be an offline mode where you can download whole subreddits (of say, posts of the last day) and comments to read later. Would save me so much data!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Best app on my phoneI don’t usually write reviews. But Apollo by far is the best app I have. It makes reddit amazing and every update they keep adding exactly what we need. This app has come a long way and I couldn’t live without it now..Version: 1.8.1
✓ Intentional Poor UX DesignThis complaint is mostly about the poor handling/touchiness of the gestures implementation. The nature of reddit browsing involves repetitive and constant small swiping motions, motions that this app often mistakes for left/right swipes. The natural motion of the thumb slightly curves inward toward the palm when you swipe up, and away from the palm when swiping down. The app is so sensitive to these slight deviations from a perfect up/down swipe that it registers them as left/right swipes and instead of scrolling the page, it makes you do one of the gesture actions. At first I thought this was just poor design, but as soon as I realized you can disable/change the gesture action, I knew it was intentional. The tuning of the gesture actions is locked behind their pay wall so it's likely they intentionally make the UX annoying to get you to pay. Well the app is free so I suppose I don't have to like or use it, but at the same time I don't have to give it a glowing review either..Version: 1.6.6
✓ One of the best applications in the worldI’m a software developer and I’ve been using Apollo since it launched. It is a pleasure to use. A great deal of effort is continuously put towards embracing both the iOS and Reddit platforms making this app second to none. Give Christian some money, he deserves as much as all the time he puts in listening to the community..Version: 1.10
✓ Load faster pleaseTerrible load time on mobile and takes up an unfeasible amount of space.Version: 1.10.6
✓ Absolutely Stellar App, Developer is 🔥Apollo is by far the most-used app on my phone (and now I have the ScreenTime reports to prove it). It is orders of magnitude better than the “official” reddit app and is superior in every way. It is fast and smooth and packed with features. I especially love that I can pick the theme I want, change the icon, and remove ads! The thing I hated most about the official app was the ads that were disguised as legitimate posts and with Apollo that’s all gone! I bought the Pro upgrade months ago to gain access to additional features and it was one of the few in-app purchases I have never regretted or felt like wasn’t worth the cost. Today the developer released an update adding a bunch of new features that require a very reasonable (seems underpriced to be honest) monthly subscription, and like a true bro he has the option to unlock it for life with a onetime purchase! I hate monthly and even yearly subscriptions so I especially appreciated this option. All that by itself should convince you that this app is worth it, but the thing that really seals the deal is the developer. He is amazing. Super active with feedback and very open in his communication about the status of the app’s development and requested features..Version: 1.3
✓ Apollo version 1.2 is out and is blowing the competition away!Version 2 is just released today and is blowing the competition away. Worth the pro upgrade and more. No regrets. Have replaced the official client to browse Reddit..Version: 1.2
✓ Sleek, but superficialWhile i like a lot of features in this app (the lack of ads and the clean, organised home page are really nice!), there are times when the minimalism makes the app a bit less than intuitive (half of the time, i couldn’t figure out how to use it) and the absolute dealbreaker was having pay simply to post. i get the need for revenue it in order to run an ad-free app, but it’s just not reddit if you have to pay for the bare minimum (i.e. the very thing Reddit is: a place where ppl go to post and read the posts of others). i could see paying for custom icons, notifs, and ad-free browsing, but posting…? when i first downloaded this app, posting was free. idk if that was a one month trial or if this is a recent development, but either way, it’s pretty bad form (imho) in that is really cramps the spirit of what Reddit is here for. i’ll keep the app for a while to see if anything changes, but i surely won’t be using it while this pay-to-post model is in effect..Version: 1.11.7
✓ Thanks, Christian 🙏🏽Unfortunate that this app had to go as it was the best alternative to the official Reddit app. Thanks and best of luck in your future endeavours, Christian!.Version: 1.15.14
✓ Best Reddit app availableI’ve tried many Reddit apps over the years. They all have their pros and cons (including this app), however Apollo stands head and shoulders above the rest. The developer actively deals with any reported bugs which is a big plus..Version: 1.2
✓ A reddit client that completely redefines the UII have been using Apollo ever since it came out. It is essentially the reddit mobile application, but more polished, and packed with frequently requested features. The UI is fantastic, clean, and easy to navigate, with development choices designed around making the application as light and fast as possible. The battery usage is ideal, and the performance rarely disappoints. You can use the application for free without purchasing the full version, but not having the full version prevents you from submitting posts, and you miss out on features such as gif scrubbing (which has spoilt me in other applications which do not have this feature). The pro version is pretty cheap however, and you’ll easily make back your money spent after a couple of days of usage. Would recommend to anyone looking for a new mobile client for reddit, and those wanting to move from desktop to mobile. 5/5..Version: 1.6.5
✓ Alien Blue buried after all these years.Absolutely incredible app; and easily the best app for reddit available on iOS ever! I’ve been using Alien Blue for over half a decade and this app finally made me switch! Can not recommend enough! Feels and looks and behaves like Alien Blue used to when it was supported only improved upon in most every way! 5 stars easy!.Version: 1.0
✓ Great Reddit AppI really like the sleek design and robust performance of Apollo. A lot of thought and sweat went into this app. The dark mode looks stunning on an iPhoneX too. If the app had a gallery mode, it would be perfect..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Great appThis is a great alternative to reddit for people who have iOS 9.3.5 Or earlier. Looks like it was made by apple and is smooth with a iPhone 5.Version: 1.7.4
✓ Beautiful, modern, powerful, intuitive Reddit appIf you’re looking at this app and even considering not trying it, you’re crazy. It’s hands down one of the best designed and most feature rich apps on my phone - of ANY app. Responsive developer, easy navigation, intuitive, clear, somehow the dev has created an app for reddit so slick it literally feels like Apple themselves designed it. And he keeps packing more and more features. Free version is great, but the push notifications of Apollo Ultra (paid) and posting tools like auto-recognizing reddit links on clipboard are well worth the upgrade. I don’t even open the native reddit app anymore, and have tried all the major competitors. I can both browse, comment, vote and save easily, while also reply to PM’s, send PM’s, see sidebars, and do 98% of moderating for a 50k+ subreddit all via mobile. That’s kinda crazy, and suuuuper nice for me!.Version: 1.8.1
✓ Love this app!By far my favourite app! Customisable and so easy to use just an all around great experience.Version: 1.11.7
✓ Best reddit appThis app is hands down one of the best Reddit apps. It’s been a pleasure to use over the other official app. Long live Apollo!.Version: 1.15.9
✓ RIP to a legendI love this app. It was easily my most used app for the years I’ve had it. I want to thank Christian for all his hard work and talent (and anyone else involved). I wish him all the best in his future endeavours..Version: 1.15.14
✓ The Best 3rd Party App to browse RedditI’ve used Apollo almost 2 years at the time of writing this, and I am deeply disheartened to say goodbye in a couple days time. Christian has done a fantastic job at making one of the best Reddit browsing apps on the market, and it is my personal favourite of all I’ve tried. Easy to use, easy to understand, better accessibility and navigation than the main app… if I listed every good factor about it I’d be here for hours. Goodbye to Reddit (unless miraculously Apollo can keep operating!), and best of luck to Christian in his onwards endeavours. Apollo Forever 🫶.Version: 1.15.11
✓ Reddit x1000I came across the Apollo subreddit at random and after reading some pretty favourable reviews I thought I’d check it out. I was immediately taken aback by its elegant simplicity so decided to pay the few £ for the extra features and there’s absolutely no going back for me. Never spent more time on Reddit than I have since getting Apollo. Amazing app, a really good achievement by the dev. Why Reddit couldn’t have made their official app as good as this to begin with is beyond me 🤣.Version: 1.14.5
✓ I’m shocked at how easy this was.When I first saw the post about Apollo, I was reluctant to try it. Mostly because I’d grown accustom to the layout of the Official Reddit App. After reading the positive comments on the post, I decided to try it. It’s free so what’s the harm? After about 10 minutes in the app, browsing Reddit like normal, I felt as if I had been using this app for years. The layout is extremely intuitive and Apollo’s capabilities are incredible. I’m shocked this was done by one person. The in-app purchases are done correctly as well. They aren’t in your face, constantly pushing you to “tip” and you’re Reddit isn’t going to be ruined if you don’t want to donate. This app is not perfect and it has a few bugs that need fixing, but the developer seems to be on top of them. Overall, this app is very good and it has become my daily driver for all my Reddit needs..Version: 1.0
✓ Worth every pennyThe free version is amazing. The Pro and Ultra versions are even better. For context, please understand that I do not rate apps, ever. This is the only app I’ve gone out of my way to rate and review, because I truly believe this app is outstanding. The official Reddit app used a suspiciously large amount of data, ran in the background and heated up my phone, and drained my battery life. Apollo, by contrast, Just Works. It uses a reasonable amount of data and doesn’t seem to impact the battery life any more than you’d expect. Apollo is what you wish every app would be. It doesn’t force you to use it how the developer wants you to use it. It’s flexible. Features can be configured to work with your preferences. Most features are available in the free version. The few things exclusive to the Pro and Ultra versions are more “nice to have” rather than important functionality that limits the usefulness of the app (at least for me). I bought Pro and subscribed to Ultra anyway, because Apollo is that good. The developer has earned my trust. He actively responds to his user base, developing requested features regularly. The two times I’ve thought of a feature I wanted, I found it was already there in the app. Both times it was implemented with more flexibility and thoughtfulness than I had imagined it. If you use Reddit and want an app on your iOS device, this is the one you should be getting..Version: 1.12.2
