Version history
1.15.15
2023-07-20
Adds an option to download all wallpapers rather than having to do it individually. Also adds an option to sign up to be notified for my Next Thing™!
1.15.14
2023-07-02
Apollo has now closed down, this update pushes out a few fixes to make everything a bit nicer in that state, so explore around!
- Adds ability to migrate your Apollo Pixel Pals to the new separate Pixel Pals app, and even includes a fun easter egg if you do so. If you're not familiar with Pixel Pals, it's a really fun app that lets you customize your iOS device with a variety of cute virtual pets. It'd really mean a lot to me if you checked it out and considered supporting it!
- Added a bunch more wallpapers to the "Goodbye Apollo" Wallpaper Set. It's available in Settings, and is a great way to remember Apollo for years to come with some incredible wallpapers by the amazing designers who have created Apollo's icons over the years.
- If you have time left on your subscription, you have the option to go to the Settings tab and decline the automatic refund. Developers pay refunds out-of-pocket, so your kindness and consideration would mean a lot to me there given how unexpected the last few weeks have been. Cancelling your subscription in the Settings app isn't enough, you also have to manually decline the refund in Apollo if you so choose.
As the hour gets closer the app will change automatically to no longer being able to browse Reddit, but you'll still be able to open it and customize the home screen app icons with the over 100 incredible icons added over the years. Pixel Pals migration, wallpapers, merch, and more are also available, as well as the possibility of another fun easter egg revealing itself.
I feel like I've said it a lot over the last few weeks, but I feel so, so fortunate that I've been able to build an app over the last 9 years alongside such an incredible community who helped me to shape the app for the better. I've met and talked with so many cool people, and the app is infinitely better than it was from the outset because of it. I'm heartbroken it's ending this way, but I've loved every minute of building this app for you folks and wouldn't have done a thing differently. Love y'all.

1.15.11
2023-06-28
This update for Apollo includes a few important features:
- Apollo closes on June 30th, if you have time left in your subscription, this update allows you to decline a refund on the remaining subscription time. If you don't decline the refund, you will automatically receive a pro-rated refund for the remaining time. If you've been happy with the service I've provided over the years, please consider declining the refund as they are refunded out-of-pocket. I thank you!
- Added a "Goodbye Apollo" Wallpaper set. If you want to remember Apollo for years to come after its shut down date, and support its creator one last time, consider checking out the incredible set of Apollo themed wallpapers, created by talented designers who have built Apollo icons over the years.
- I've unlocked all the icons in the app for everyone, and even added over a dozen new ones that I had planned to continue adding over the next year plus. Also themes are now available for all.
I have another update coming for the end of the month that adds some additional cool features, so stick around and keep browsing until the curtain closes!
If you're unclear about why Apollo is closing, Reddit recently announced some very, very expensive API prices for developers, and in combination with only providing 30 days to enact the changes, Apollo won't be able to afford continuing beyond Reddit's cutoff date of June 30th, 2023. There are more details in the ApolloApp subreddit if you're curious.
As mentioned through the in-app announcements, it's been the pleasure of a lifetime building Apollo for you over the last 9 years. I thank you so much for your kindness, input, and generosity over the years.

1.15.9
2023-06-08
Added tip jar back in app for those interested!
1.15.8
2023-05-31
Quick update that fixes a crash that could occur on launch for some folks.
1.15.7
2023-05-25
A brand new icon that harkens back to an earlier period in iOS icon design, as well as some nice bug fixes. Beyond that the rest is in the next big juicy update. :)
1.15.6
2023-05-25
A brand new icon that harkens back to an earlier period in iOS icon design, as well as some bug fixes. Beyond that the rest is in the next big juicy update. :)
1.15.5
2023-05-09
Fixes a bug where flair could be rendered weirdly when displaying a right-to-left language.
1.15.4
2023-04-29
Fixes a few small bugs, namely the new comments tracker not showing up for some users, as well as an issue with the media viewer where when you tried to zoom the media would also zoom but zoom away in a random direction.
1.15.3
2023-04-20
In addition to the changes below, this update fixes a few small bugs folks pointed out.
# New Comments Highlightifier
(May need to enable under Settings tab > General > Show Unread Comments)
If you read a thread, and then encounter it again later, in your feed Apollo will show a count of how many comments have been added since you last viewed it, and when viewing the thread, it will highlight the new comments. This is really handy for coming back to a thread later and seeing what you missed out on.
# Easter Sale
Just for this short Easter period you can grab Apollo Ultra lifetime at a discounted rate!
## Richer Title Flair
Some subreddits elect to have images and icons in their title flair to better represent a specific flair (like "Happy News" with a smiley face or something), and before Apollo would just show this as a text approximation (for instance, :happyface:), now the imagery is fully rendered right into the title!
# New Icons
Some of my favorite new home screen icons in awhile. Featuring an absolutely gorgeous set of icons by Adam Whitcroft, an adorable Easter themed icon by Matthew Skiles, and a really cool, kinda spooky icon by s4pete.
# New Pixel Pals
Added three adorable new Pixel Pals! We have a T-Rex named Rory, Freya the Butterfly, and Kermy the Borzoi.
# Other
- No longer supports iOS 14. iOS 14 has had miniscule usage in Apollo for awhile now, and as of recently it dipped to well below 1% of users, so this version requires iOS 15 or newer. Having a newer baseline iOS version means devs are able to use newer iOS features (for instance every year there's really awesome advancements to SwiftUI) that make development easier/faster
- Revamped the Settings screens a little, in addition to how it looks I also moved the Themes option into the "Appearance" section to reduce confusion
- New icons
- Should fix bug with home feed showing same old content from when you were signed out
- If you select a paid feature Apollo now prompts you to unlock Ultra. This is an attempt to simplify because of confusion around the dual offerings (Pro and Ultra) in Apollo, where it'll hopefully be more simple/obvious what to unlock if you simply want everything in the app, which is better for most users than "buy this, then this". (Pro is still available to purchase though and can be done so through Settings)
- Changed the icon for "Best" sort, firstly to somewhat commemorate a change in how the Best algorithm works in Apollo, and secondly because it's the primary sort icon that Apollo users are exposed to, and I've had a ton of feedback over the years that the trophy icon is not at all clear for "tap this to sort"
- Open in Apollo Safari extension now works properly with old Reddit as well
- If you have the option enabled to automatically collapse AutoModerator, Apollo will now properly collapse the comment even if it's not stickied
- Revamped the live comment sort a little, so it should be faster and work even better
- Exclude Subscriptions from Feed now works not only with r/All, but with r/Popular as well
- Related to the previous item, added an option in Settings to always enable subscribed subreddit exclusion from r/All and r/Popular, so you don't have to manually enable it each time
- Fixed a bug with Wikipedia preview parsing for non-English languages

I really hope you enjoy the update! Thank you for using Apollo!

# New Comments Highlightifier
(May need to enable under Settings tab > General > Show Unread Comments)
If you read a thread, and then encounter it again later, in your feed Apollo will show a count of how many comments have been added since you last viewed it, and when viewing the thread, it will highlight the new comments. This is really handy for coming back to a thread later and seeing what you missed out on.
# Easter Sale
Just for this short Easter period you can grab Apollo Ultra lifetime at a discounted rate!
## Richer Title Flair
Some subreddits elect to have images and icons in their title flair to better represent a specific flair (like "Happy News" with a smiley face or something), and before Apollo would just show this as a text approximation (for instance, :happyface:), now the imagery is fully rendered right into the title!
# New Icons
Some of my favorite new home screen icons in awhile. Featuring an absolutely gorgeous set of icons by Adam Whitcroft, an adorable Easter themed icon by Matthew Skiles, and a really cool, kinda spooky icon by s4pete.
# New Pixel Pals
Added three adorable new Pixel Pals! We have a T-Rex named Rory, Freya the Butterfly, and Kermy the Borzoi.

- No longer supports iOS 14. iOS 14 has had miniscule usage in Apollo for awhile now, and as of recently it dipped to well below 1% of users, so this version requires iOS 15 or newer. Having a newer baseline iOS version means devs are able to use newer iOS features (for instance every year there's really awesome advancements to SwiftUI) that make development easier/faster
- Revamped the Settings screens a little, in addition to how it looks I also moved the Themes option into the "Appearance" section to reduce confusion
- New icons
- Should fix bug with home feed showing same old content from when you were signed out
- If you select a paid feature Apollo now prompts you to unlock Ultra. This is an attempt to simplify because of confusion around the dual offerings (Pro and Ultra) in Apollo, where it'll hopefully be more simple/obvious what to unlock if you simply want everything in the app, which is better for most users than "buy this, then this". (Pro is still available to purchase though and can be done so through Settings)
- Changed the icon for "Best" sort, firstly to somewhat commemorate a change in how the Best algorithm works in Apollo, and secondly because it's the primary sort icon that Apollo users are exposed to, and I've had a ton of feedback over the years that the trophy icon is not at all clear for "tap this to sort"
- Open in Apollo Safari extension now works properly with old Reddit as well
- If you have the option enabled to automatically collapse AutoModerator, Apollo will now properly collapse the comment even if it's not stickied
- Revamped the live comment sort a little, so it should be faster and work even better
- Exclude Subscriptions from Feed now works not only with r/All, but with r/Popular as well
- Related to the previous item, added an option in Settings to always enable subscribed subreddit exclusion from r/All and r/Popular, so you don't have to manually enable it each time
- Fixed a bug with Wikipedia preview parsing for non-English languages

This update to Apollo brings the ability to save posts and comments to specific categories (so you can sort by your “tech”, “animals”, or "interior design", for instance, and even create completely custom categories) that are cloud-synced across your devices! There's also incredibly gorgeous new icons, and a bunch of new Pixel Pals (parrot, panda, platypus, and a tiger!) so you can have even more cute options for friends while you scroll, as well as some handy bug fixes (like around trending subreddits) and tweaks to make everything even nicer and smoother.
This version also adds inline thumbnails to inline images in comments, plus a few to the saved category banner that could sometimes not disappear, and also added the option to turn off saved categories if you're not interested in the new feature.

Bluish Bloke,
Much better than the original app.
Apollo has so many more features and options compared to Reddit’s app. Options to use a dedicated search bar from within the hidden posts section as well as from within my saved content for that one particular thing I’d want to share later make saving so much more meaningful.
Combine those features with the ability to customize short swipe and long swipe gestures, and I get a much more seamless browsing experience than anything the original app currently has to offer. I can engage with a post and comment thread so much faster and just as quickly scroll through to the next post that catches my eye. And when I come back to the app, because I can easily swipe to hide previously seen posts, my feed is never cluttered with content that I’ve already interacted with.
Stellar developer communication and constant app updates is the icing on top. About every couple of months a new feature, quality of life update, new app theme, or community-made app icon pack comes out. I love that I have variety even in something small like the app icon just to keep things looking fresh even before opening the app. And if the community has a request, the developer is quick to respond.

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.

Best app for Reddit browsing
Thank 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!

Fantastic Reddit client for iPhone
From 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).

notgreatbob84,
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.

Vuk Stajic,
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.
Dunked0n,
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.
Meme23579,
One small problem as of recently
So I've been using this app essentially from when it was created and I have and still do absolutely love. I only use a fraction of all the features it has to offer and even still it is by far the best Reddit mobile experience I've seen.
However, for the past week or so there's been a reoccurring glitch that has been incredibly frustrating. I'm using an iPhone 7 running iOS 11.2.1 for the record. So this usually occurs after I've been using the app for at least 10-15 minutes continuously. I'll be a few dozen posts down through my home page or one specific subreddit and suddenly I'll lose the ability to click on posts. I can scroll through the subreddit, click on the thumbnail, vote, and even use haptic touch or whatever it's called. But I can't click in a way that brings me to the post's "page" and thus there's no way I can view more than the top couple comments. The problems seems to fix itself temporarily when I force close the app and come back, but then I lose my place in the subreddit or on my home page. It's a very annoying problem on an app that has otherwise worked perfectly.
Please fix soon, and my rating will go back up to 5 stars.

A better client; could be improved, tho; paywalled features
Apollo 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.

Teefzilla,
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.
