Description
Apollo was a powerful and customizable Reddit app for iOS
Apollo was an iOS app for browsing Reddit from 2015 to 2023. In 2023 Reddit announced significant price changes to their API, going from free to potentially costing tens of millions of dollars per year, with 30 days notice before developers would start incurring charges. As a result, Apollo was forced to shut down after the better part of a decade building for an incredible, supportive community. With over 100,000 five star ratings, and many accolades, I was incredibly proud of what Apollo accomplished.
The app now exists in a commemorative/historic state, with a thank you message, the option to unlock a Goodbye Apollo wallpaper pack, and options to export data if you had the app downloaded previously (shake the device), and all previous app icons are now automatically unlocked. You can also use the app as a hub to get updates about other things the developer (Christian Selig) is working on.
Again, thank you so much for all the years of fun, it was the honor of a lifetime building the app for all of you!

Ratings and Reviews
Editors' Notes
Apollo for Reddit is an excellent alternative to the official app, with stacks of useful features and tons of settings you can tweak for an even more personalized Reddit experience. Apollo has clearly been designed by someone who spends a lot of time on Reddit, because the app is full of things that’ll delight power users.
Almost great, but the negatives eventually kill it
Very 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.
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!
