Best

It was the best app for surfing Reddit.

Still the best app

Itโ€™s been a minute now, and this was sadly the version of โ€œRedditโ€ that is considered to be good. Hugs all around, Reddit is a ghost town now, incomprehensible levels of botting with terrible moderation.

Btw Ghislaine Maxwell was a head Reddit moderator during the โ€œgolden yearsโ€. The whole thing was cooked from the start, but Apollo was the best part of it.

What Iโ€™m trying to say, is that Reddit doesnโ€™t deserve us, it never has.

This was so much better then the official app rip

Best Reddit App (RIP)

Ahh, I can still remember the good olโ€™ 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 couldnโ€™t find it on the App Store anymore.

But then thatโ€™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 Iโ€™m extremely happy Iโ€™m still able to use Apollo to this day! Weโ€™re halfway through 2026 already and I just hope Apple or Reddit wonโ€™t do something thatโ€™ll break my ability to use Apollo. Thank you Christian for everything youโ€™ve done for all of us, Iโ€™ve made use to support you for your dedication to preserving one of the best apps to come out in the past 10 years!
