What are you doing devs?
Every update they make this app worse and worse. LEAVE IT ALONE OR GET A NEW DEV TEAM. App is absolutely abysmal now. Scroll to fast, crash. Quickly close out of a post, crash. Search for something, you guessed it, crash. Used to be enjoyable before. Now it's just garbage.
One of my favorite apps
Best way to experience reddit and I find the pro subscription worth it. Gallery mode is awesome and the filtering out options are great. There’s also so much customization. Hydra puts all other reddit apps to shame
Slopification continues
Charging people to download videos? No thanks. This app is a vibe coded disaster.
Downloading videos with audio only with a subscription. What a joke
Downloading videos with audio only with a subscription. What a joke?! Seriously??? What is this? Will go back to Apollo.
Just go for it you won’t regret it
No ads, intuitive, and flexible
This app is the only reason I still use Reddit
Great app, I don't think you even have to be signed in to use it - I wasn't for a while because it was just nice to not need to use the browser version of Reddit and even the browser version is better than the official app! This app is great
Pretty good
This is definitely better than the awful official reddit app, but recent changes have made videos restart when going full screen and they take forever to load, which is pretty annoying. Stuff also sometimes is slow to load in general, but perhaps that’s Reddit’s API? Overall recommend
Very good Reddit client
It’s a good Reddit client with cool features like gallery mode. Loading the feed however is a little on the slower side and saved videos don’t have audio.
Elegant and always improving
Nothing out there compares to the simplicity and elegance Hydra offers. It feels natively Apple. The dev team is actively involved in making this the premier Reddit experience with frequent updates. Love it!
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.

Not it
Doesn't work. Subreddits literally just missing posts
Doesn’t load anything
Won’t load a single post, feed, or sub. Is this app decommissioned or something?
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.
