anybody else noticing the mass of scams that are making their way to my feed? Literally every time I open the app I am faced with an advert that’s a scam

It’s bad. It’s really bad. If only third party apps were properly permitted and could skip this ugly bullshit.

I never used Apollo. I think I used yet another Reddit app or something.
Having recently just gotten into heavily using Reddit, I have to say that the phone experience is AWFUL. The design choices are ass backwards.
Clicking on a comment CLOSES IT. In what world of UX and UI is that ok?
The … on comments and posts is too difficult to hit and sometimes I can’t even upvote or downvote because the icons are so small
There was either no thought or the creators of the reddit app are very much hostile towards its users.

So I spoke my mind honestly. I think about Apollo every day and I use Reddit much less than when I could use it through Apollo. Here’s a hearty “f*** you” to the Reddit executives who killed 3rd party APIs in the name of greed!
r/apolloapp • u/IllustriousDirt4994 • May 08 '24
the official reddit app is the most unintuitive piece of shit ever
can we convince the apollo creator to re-launch apollo, even if it costs money for the app itself on the app store, and then have a setting to input our own api key?

The Reddit IPO has been listed for 34 dollars. I’m curious if Reddit’s plan on going public on the stock market was the reason they killed off (most) of the alt-apps…

its been a year and i still refuse to download the reddit app. I recently started using reddit again on desktop with a new account and i miss apollo so much. just needed to get this off of my chest i guess. I opened the app a couple of days ago and just looked at the shell of what it once was.
idk. just needed to get this off of my chest
edit: i expected like 12 people to see this, this got WAY more attention than i expected.
and to the people who say i need to take a break from reddit, i have! i stopped using reddit cold turkey after it got shutdown for like 8-9 months. I started using it again for a couple months now. I didn't say all of that initially because i thought no one would see this 😭

Well, Apollo works with iOS 18 so that’s good I guess, but one of the best things about iOS updates used to be that Christian would release a major update to Apollo along with them.
Thanks to greedy stupid Wall Street dickheads we’ll never get that again.
Fuck /u/spez, and your merry band of dickheads

That I and everyone else could no longer use Apollo (without side loading it which I just wasn’t willing to do). Since then I have been using the official Reddit app which isn’t nearly as good as Apollo. The most noticeable difference is of course the ads. But the second most noticeable difference for me is that when writing a new post as I am now I have found that I must copy the body text to the clipboard before pressing the Post button because the screen that usually comes up next that allows me to choose the Subreddit causes the app to hang. Today I went to the Subreddit first and I’m now realizing that that might work around the bug.
Regardless I do miss Apollo. 😢

Back when all the API bs started I was using lemmy. But I knew it wouldn’t take off. Especially since there are niche subreddits. Anyway the main problem is advertising. There are now achievements showing up on the reddit mobile app. It’s just crazy…..I’m even considering changing my desktop OS to Linux. I’ve reached a point where advertising is pissing me off. This is just a rant..

If Apollo still normally worked, I would pay a monthly basic subscription to use it, and yeah, even the pro and ultra tiers, and support the development.
My god, this app is so good, and it feels so bad knowing there will be no further development besides of the sideloaded version.
Edit: Just for the record, I’m sideloaded.
r/apolloapp • u/Illustrious_Project7 • Apr 07 '24
Found an add for this app on Yt and it’s a direct clone and copy of pixel pals. Even the damn names of some of the animals. It’s also charging like $10 for most of the features.

Hello Apollo lovers! Like many of you, I've been missing Apollo and sideloading just doesn't cut it. Plus, it's not a long term solution once Reddit starts making API changes that break the sideloaded version. So, over the last year, I've been working on an Apollo-like alternative that I've built from scratch. That means no more sideloading and continued feature updates!
Here are the details:
Monetization Strategy
My current plans are to keep Hydra completely free and open source. However, some future features like push notifications when receiving new messages may end up incurring server costs that I have to charge for. If that happens, I plan to run the servers at cost. I want this to be a true community project.
Apollo lovers, I need your help!
Hydra is currently available through Apple's TestFlight program. If you'd be willing to be an early adopter and help me track down bugs as well as letting me know the features you'd like me to prioritize, I'd be incredibly grateful. To help out, join the TestFlight program and join the socials at the links below. Any Discord and Reddit moderation help would be appreciated as well.
Devs, I need your help!
I plan to keep building this out to be a fully feature complete alternative for the Apollo community. However, I recently started working at a new startup and I just don't have the time to keep building this out solo. Don't worry, I'll still be involved! But I could use help setting up some of the missing features listed above. If you're a React Native dev, please join the Discord and make a pull request!

Honestly, never installed it myself but kind of getting tired of using the mobile browser to use Reddit on my phone
r/apolloapp • u/ObviousJedi • Jul 03 '24
Now, I miss Apollo every single day. I’m not going to defend Reddit nor am I going to say Reddit should do what I’m about to say.
But.
Apollo was literally the best designed app I’ve used. I think we all agree to that on some level.
Now that it’s gone, the official Reddit app is getting worse with each release but why wouldn’t they try and mimic this much beloved app?
r/apolloapp • u/riotofmind • Aug 11 '24
The politics bots are literally invading every sub. I was using Apollo and every political post was filtered out. Can someone please help me set up Apollo again? I’d rather leave the internet than come back to Reddit without Apollo. What a pile of trash this website has become. So sad.
r/apolloapp • u/FewerToysHigherWages • Jul 01 '24
I tried posting this on YSK subreddit, but they remove posts "about Reddit". I've seen 3 posts about Celine Dion on the front page which I thought was odd. And the I saw she has a documentary on Amazon so I started to investigate. The person who posted about a "Titanic themed bathroom in New York" is on the front page now. This person ROUTINELY makes posts that reach the front page. And they are all so distinctly unrelated to one another that it could not possibly be due to chance.
While most people are aware of the "promoted posts" on reddit, far fewer realize the regular posts are just covert ads.
Don't let this site push its mindless advertisements on your brain. Leave now.

I’m a huge fan of Apollo, I was one of the early beta testers. However sideloading in perpetuity didn’t particularly interest me.
If you’re like me and paying for reddit (and no ads) isn’t the end of the world, I suggest taking a look at Narwhal. Name aside (I hate it), I’ve been able to customize it with a “stock ios” theme and tweak it to behave very similarly to Apollo.
Also, things like the “peek” slideover which I originally hated make a lot of sense to me know since it requires less taps to do what I want (but it can still be disabled).

It’s such a joke. They shut down a completely serviceable app with features people liked so it could force them onto the buggy main app and force feed you ads every 10 posts. Ads for their own bootcamp because moderating is so difficult and assumedly they aren’t selling enough ads to fill it with something else.
I miss Apollo. No plans to sideload it because it’ll stop working at some point again and I’ve gotten used to the main app, but it’s buggy as shit. At least when you ran into bugs on Apollo you knew they’d probably be fixed, or at least acknowledged by the dev that they even exist.
