Still Missing Some Features
The app is basically good, and can be configured to act a lot like Apollo did back in its prime. The one glaring omission is that you still can’t set videos/GIFs to play muted by default. You have to manage the volume on your device, rather than just allowing audio when something that requires it comes along. It’s very clumsy and disruptive for an app that is otherwise a pretty decent browsing experience.

Even better than Apollo?
Hydra is very similar to Apollo, but has an improved gallery mode and doesn’t require using a Reddit API. Happy to support with the Pro membership, but also great without.
They don’t use the official API, so I think there is a possibility that Reddit will update something that breaks Hydra. It’s been going strong since launch though, and I don’t notice any slowdowns compared to apps that use the (expensive) API.

Wer Apollo vermisst…
wird hier glücklich!
Best Reddit option by far
Reminiscent of Apollo. Easy to navigate, intuitive. The ONLY thing it’s missing is that if you accidentally (or not) swipe from your feed back to list of subreddits and try to swipe back, the feed starts back over rather than from where you left off. But you can set it to hide posts you e already seen so it’s close. 5/5 app even without that feature.

Fantastic Reddit client!!
I love how fluid hydra is. It is worth using for the gallery mode alone!
Nothing Loads
Nothing loads. Not home, not popular, not all, not any search. Nothing but the settings. Disappointing.
Great App
Great app - probably better than Apollo.
I really love the app I just would like it more if
It would mix up what it shows on the home feed more from different subs
Good in principle.
I like the idea behind it. It reminds of Apollo in some ways, especially the swipe gestures of course.
But it lacks all of the polish. It hangs, crashes, bugs out, resets my progress in scrolling through comments and home feed. And none of these things happen rarely. They happen every time I open the app. I really enjoy the rest of the time, but it makes it very hard to enjoy using it.

Way better than the official Reddit App
Awesome alternative to the official Reddit App. Strong Apollo vibes, with this one.
Gut, alle Funktionen vorhanden
Schön gemacht, vergleichsweise übersichtlich, mit dem eigenen Account kann man sich gut einloggen, bisher keine Probleme gehabt. Empfehlung.
Thank you
Apps like this is what made the internet great.
Best Reddit client for IOS
Moved to hydra when Reddit removed r/all. Never going back, smoother transitions, tons of configurations, w proper working video player.
God-send of an app!
I needed this app in my life so badly! Reddit app is absolute is infested with ads and privacy intruding trackers. After Apollo was forced to close, I found alternatives to the Reddit app by side-loading but it was never perfect and always buggy and had to re-login every time the app was closed. This is better than even the Apollo app for me. It’s been mostly bug-free but the app was released relatively recently so if you find a bug, just report it and move on. They do fix the bugs! I’ve noticed much less bugs than when the app first released. They’re doing a banger job!

Hatte reddit schon abgeschrieben
… aber mit dieser App ist es erträglich. Trotzdem: Join the Fediverse!
I love this app
I love the functionality. Thanks so much to the dev. It’s great!
I know we don’t have much options but COME ON
I can live with the fact that it doesn’t update live. But I couldn’t even get into my profile. It keeps refreshing, and couldn’t access a single post!
Saved from the atrocious official app.
This app definitely needs improvement but it is already miles better than the default reddit app.
This is better than I thought it would be
The fact that there is a client that I can do most of the things I want to do on reddit
(except posting) and its ad free and cost free after the API, with one of the best UIs I've ever used period; just makes this a recommend

Well done app
Great alternative to the official reddit app. Would love to support the development, but I'm never going to pay for a subscription service to browse reddit. Would be happy to pay $10-15 up front, but SaaS is gross.
