Not forgotten
This was so much better then the official app rip
Best Reddit App (RIP)
Ahh, I can still remember the good ol’ days before Reddit built their official app around 10 years ago. I was in high school when I got my first iPhone and can vividly remember finding Alien Blue on the App Store 2013. I thought Alien Blue was perfect; simple, clean, and easy to use, deploying logic that allowed us to use Reddit just how it was intended to be used. Once Reddit released their official app, they decided to remove Alien Blue from the App Store but the app still worked if you had it downloaded on your device. I never knew Alien Blue was removed from the App Store until I got a new iPhone 2016 and was utterly devastated when I couldn’t find it on the App Store anymore.
But then that’s how I found out about Apollo. I felt like we were in the future when I first started using Apollo, the customization was on another level and I quickly got over losing my ability to use Alien Blue. Life was perfect for the next 6 years, until Reddit decided to go public and let greed and profits take over. I was devastated when Apollo was cancelled, I tried using the official Reddit app for a little bit but hated it and just stopped going on Reddit overall. Luckily enough, a jailbreak for my iPhone on iOS 16 dropped on January 2024 and one of the first things I did was try and get access to Apollo again and i was successful! Too a little bit of time researching and getting the proper keys to setup Apollo using my own API, but I’m extremely happy I’m still able to use Apollo to this day! We’re halfway through 2026 already and I just hope Apple or Reddit won’t do something that’ll break my ability to use Apollo. Thank you Christian for everything you’ve done for all of us, I’ve made use to support you for your dedication to preserving one of the best apps to come out in the past 10 years!

Rip to the goat
Still makes me sad
Still the best Reddit App
It’s been 2 years since Apollo stopped development. Yet it is still the best Reddit app ever made. Thankfully there is Apollo Reborn which does require side loading but keeps it Apollo functional. I’m posting this review to say thanks to Christian for the many years he worked on Apollo. I’m sure the community would love it see it open sourced if he was ever so inclined. Either way thank you again Christian!

Thanks for everything!
Reddit is destroying Apollo and all community trust; primarily through the actions and communications of its current CEO. :(
I deleted my accounts and will have a hard time contributing/engaging with Reddit even if they reverse course.
Apollo, the app, has been a joy to use. The stock Reddit app pales in comparison. Thanks for providing an excellent user experience over all these years through Apollo.
So long and thanks for all the fish.
