Description
Apollo is an app for Reddit built for customizability, smoothness, gestures, and taking advantage of everything iOS has to offer. Apollo is a beautiful Reddit app built for fast navigation with an incredibly powerful set of features. Thanks to features like the Jump Bar, fully customizable gestures, and a super-charged Media Viewer, browsing Reddit has never been this amazing. It's created specifically with iOS design guidelines in mind, so it fits right at home on your device, and with input from thousands of Redditors helping sculpt and perfect it over several years before launching:
• Jump Bar, for super-fast hopping between subreddits
• Super-charged Media Viewer for an amazing experience viewing images, GIFs, videos, albums, and more from a variety of sources.
• Tabbed interface for easy navigating
• Incredibly powerful Markdown composer for writing comments and posts
• Full inline Imgur uploading, both images and albums
• Large or compact posts depending on your preference
• Dark mode (can be automatic)
• Fully customizable gestures
• Safari View Controller for browsing articles and links
• Inline previews of media in comments
• 3D Touch support
• Beautifully organized Inbox
• Filtering and blocking
• Face ID / Touch ID / Passcode lock
• Moderator features
• Tons of settings to tweak
• GIF scrubbing to go backward and forward in time
• Multiple accounts
• Powerful search
• Full Markdown rendering
• Unobtrusive Volume Indicator
As well as much, much more and it's constantly evolving. If you have anything you'd specifically like to see, come to the ApolloApp subreddit and we'd love to hear it! Apollo is an unofficial app, and side effects may include an incredible browsing experience.
Change Log
• Add Google Search to the Search tab: tap the magnifier and pick Google to find Reddit threads through Google, with its snippets, Any Time and Exact Words filters, and results that open natively in Apollo (#1260: @icpryde)
• Open the fullscreen image viewer's Copy / Save / Share menu where you press and hold, instead of the middle of the screen (#1254: @IllIIllIllIllII)
• Add Toon Bot and Happy Toon Bot to the Concepts icon pack (#1253: @IllIIllIllIllII)
Performance
• Make Apollo lighter on memory and quicker to launch: image caches now have size limits and are freed when iOS runs low on memory, the Deleted Comments and sidebar text hooks stay idle when they aren't needed, editing a comment no longer holds up other loads for up to 20 seconds, and launch does less work (#1169: @paradoxally, @icpryde)
• Also stops the comments title flashing on non-Liquid-Glass builds, and makes Remember Post Sort open posts from links, the inbox, or Floating Post Tabs in your saved sort straight away instead of reloading them
• Stop the AI comment summary from re-running over and over while you scroll a thread (#1270: @Thetromboneman1)
• Stop filtered posts leaving stacks of gray gaps in feeds, correcting just the affected rows instead of redrawing the whole feed (#1274: @Thetromboneman1)
Fixes
• Fix a feed crash when several RedGIFs posts load at once, most often right after launching or switching accounts (#1251: @icpryde)
• Fix a crash tapping "Translated from…" on a recovered deleted comment (#1222: @icpryde)
• Fix RedGIFs posts showing "RedGIFs error" on every post after switching Wi-Fi, cellular, or VPN, and on older RedGIFs videos with no listed length (#1256, #1258: @icpryde)
• Fix API-Key-Free feeds getting stuck on a spinner: avatar lookups no longer use up Reddit's request limit for your session (#1220: @icpryde)
• Keep avatar and subreddit lookups on the active account, so avatars stop staying blank and follow and subscribe states are right when you have several accounts signed in (#1227: @icpryde)
• Fix Add Account signing in with the active account's saved API key instead of the one set in Settings (#1237: @icpryde)
• Explain what went wrong when Reddit rejects your API key during sign-in, instead of leaving a blank "{}" page (#1236: @icpryde)
• Fix Invalid Backup when restoring backups made on 3.7.x and earlier (#1217: @icpryde)
• Fix Unmute Videos swapping the sound between two playing feed videos on every frame, starting videos with sound from feeds you already left, and playing on with sound under a different fullscreen video (#1247, #1250, #1252: @icpryde)
• Fix a post's video going grey, and the video scrubber not working, after opening the OP's profile or swiping forward back into the post (#1269: @icpryde)
• Fix Swipe Past Gallery to Navigate only acting after you lift your finger, sometimes on the wrong thread: swiping past a feed gallery's first or last image now goes straight to your post swipes (vote, save, back, or forward) (#1271: @Thetromboneman1)
• Fix tapping a post sometimes opening a gallery post from further up the feed with Swipe Through Feed Galleries on (#1248: @icpryde)
• Fix Gallery View only playing the first video when swiping on CarPlay (CarBridge/CarCast) (#1257: @icpryde)
• Fix Download Video sending the first video you shared again over Messages, and clean up the downloaded copies it left behind (#1216, #1219: @icpryde)
• Reserve room for inline comment images up front, so comments no longer grow when the image finishes loading (#1273: @Thetromboneman1)
• Explain why a comment couldn't post, such as the post being removed (and where the mods' reason is), the thread being locked or archived, the parent comment being removed, or a ban, instead of "Reddit had a little hiccup" (#1275: @icpryde)
• Fix a just-posted image comment showing "[Unknown Image]" under the picture (#1246: @icpryde)
• Keep the newest message above the reply bar in modmail and message threads on iOS 26 and 27, and bring the reply bar back after a cancelled swipe-back between threads (#1228, #1234: @icpryde)
• Fix the post composer's Post button turning white on Liquid Glass, the Media body editor's checkmark turning into Post as you type, and Command-Return submitting from the body editors instead of acting as Done (#1221, #1226, #1233: @icpryde)
• On Liquid Glass, keep a scrolled-away feed search bar hidden after swiping back from a post, and the Search tab's placeholder dim after Cancel (#1249, #1261: @icpryde)
• Fix interactive posts' Subscribe button doing nothing when Reddit needs your permission first, and keep Apollo's Join button and Subscriptions list in sync when a post subscribes you (#1264: @icpryde)
• Put the post header's translation marker after the edited pencil instead of on top of it (#1259: @icpryde)
• Keep feed avatars out of post titles that name their own author (#1218: @icpryde)
• Show old-reddit sprite user flairs on every row of the flair picker again (#1215: @icpryde)
• Stop Random and RandNSFW sometimes opening an empty feed that never loads (#1272: @Thetromboneman1)
• Fix tapping a multireddit's expand arrow in the Subreddits list asking to change a favorite, and style expanded multireddit rows like the rest of the list (#1229: @nunoo)
• Fix the Subreddits list's Edit mode putting moderator hide controls on the wrong rows and jumping the list up after Edit or Done (#1262: @icpryde)
• Swiping a row no longer turns on Edit controls, and stars stay put in Edit mode with Subreddit List Enhancements off
• Open the multireddit editor in the Subreddits list's Edit mode again when Multireddits isn't the second section (#1267: @icpryde)
• Make settings section headers match across Apollo's and Apollo Reborn's settings on iOS 26 and later, in one Title Case style that follows Text Size and your theme (#1241: @IllIIllIllIllII)
• Fix Settings Shortcuts' Remove button not removing the shortcut (#1212: @IllIIllIllIllII)
• Make Pixel Pals follow the real Dynamic Island on iPhone 18 Pro and newer (#1244: @JeffreyCA)
• Fix Open in Apollo (Legacy) in Safari doing nothing without Link Companion installed (#1268: @Thetromboneman1)
• Stop the Social Links row sometimes showing Reddit's copyright footer instead of a profile's links (#1231: @icpryde)
• Stop forwarding Apollo's analytics to your Notification Backend when one is set; they're now always blocked (#1230: @DeltAndy123)
