Ever since Apollo having to stop I find so little enjoyment in browsing “home” I have to mute or show fewer posts every couple minutes because I clicked on a post now the subreddit and all related show up on my feed.

It’s awful. I have really been saying to myself it’s not so bad, but really I just find myself exiting the app because it’s barely enjoyable anymore. It’s not just because of the enjoyment aspect. The QoL features being missed from Apollo suck also but if the scrolling was still passable I’d let it slide.

Does anyone have another solution for me on iOS besides the official app.

I miss Apollo. How can a mf miss an app!? Hahahaha

Subreddits we might have visited on our accounts etc, you used to be able to clear this data so it wasn’t linked to you…is it still there?

(No, for clarity, I didn’t look at anything horrible with Apollo, just the usual)

Thanks!

So glad the subreddit reopened, because every time I use Reddit on mobile, I want to vent about how awful it is, and I have no where to go.

The user experience on mobile browser is insufferable and I refuse to use the official Reddit app out of spite.

Load times are longer; going back pages will send me back to the top of the page instead of where I left off; constantly misclicking when I want to up/down vote, click the share button, collapse comments, etc.; the mere existence of ads in my feed... Miserable.

Apollo was fucking seamless. Christian deserved so much better for the work he put into perfecting this app.

I tried sideloading a few months ago and just couldn't get it to work no matter how many hoops I jumped through. I see that people are still posting that sideloading works, so I'll give it a try again.

But I'm still so angry they fucked over 3rd party apps.

I loved that feature with Apollo. I work in marketing (well I'm job hunting), but y'know I love sports and games and more.

I had those all as categories, and god it was easy to find what I needed, everything was in the right place. Now it's fucking chaos with hundreds of saved items and I can't find what I'm looking for 85% of the time.

Does anyone know if there's a way to get those back?

Hey all,

Almost a week since Apollo closed and it's been such a weird adjustment, I really miss coming here and talking to you folks about feedback and cool ideas for Apollo going forward, and scribbling down ideas on how I could make them happen. I thought Friday would mean things would calm down, and they have a fair bit, but it was surprising and nice to get almost a second wave of really nice comments from people saying how much Apollo meant to them over the years.

(I started on app development because the thought of being able to jump on the bus and one day hopefully see someone using something I built felt like the coolest thing imaginable, and the idea that so many people used and loved Apollo really really makes me smile.)

I'm not really looking to come onto Reddit at the moment, and a few friends have indicated the subreddit at times can skew a bit over the top with anger about Reddit's actions at times. Trust me, I totally get the frustration, but we've had a "no dumping on other apps" rule in this subreddit forever for a reason: we want to be nice people, and in the case where others are maybe disappointing us, be the bigger people.

That being said, I don't really want to have to keep a keen eye over this subreddit, nor do I expect the other moderators here to, so I think for the time being – until maybe emotions settle a bit more and this place can turn into a nice flowering meadow of memes and reminiscing – I'm going to set the subreddit to restricted so no further posts can be made, you can still talk in existing posts or here if you so please. Heck, tell me something fun you've done over the past week, or give me a game recommendation to play (I should be finishing ToTK soon).

(Hopefully this is the one subreddit Reddit is okay with the moderators changing things, at least for a bit. :p)

Anyway, that's it from me. If you want to hear more of my musings or keep in touch outside of Reddit, I'm on Mastodon, and Twitter. Per request, I also added a bunch more designs to Apollo's merch store, and the promo code "RIPAPOLLO" will still work for a few more days.

Is apollo going to update the app so that it will allow users to use their own API key?

Title says it all. I have tried about every other app and none compare.

There’s only a button for links. Nothing else.

To upload a simple image, I have to leave the app, go to IMGUR, upload my image, press "Share", press "Copy link", switch back to the Reddit app just to paste the link.

Why can’t Reddit leverage its own image uploading functionality for comments like you can do for posts?

I really don’t get it.

I simply refuse to use the garbage official app. So I downloaded Dystopia!

Right off the bat it's quite different but also somewhat familiar. I had my Apollo looking very similar actually, with minimal, well, everything. It is however even bleaker than Apollo ever was, and all of the gestures and settings aren't there. But I've accustomed to it and I actually really enjoy using it even if it isn't as intuitive as Apollo.

I would definitely recommend you give it a try!

Hi there!

Very sad to have to use the web version of the app now when browsing on the phone. However, when I click links the 'Open In Apollo' page opens, adding a few extra clicks to every link I browse. Does anybody know how to remove this without deleting the app?

Thanks!

Is it possible to install the official Apollo App (I got the IPA from my iTunes) via Sideloadly and inject a tweak like Artemis to an official IPA? Would that help to not be needed to Sideload every 7 days and not to use the mitmproxy method every 24 hours? Or does it need to be a self signed IPA and needs to be done every 7 days?

Option 1: Appdb way:

Note: Appdb is currently not working as the free signing certificates got revoked multiple times. Check on the Appdb Twitter Account for Status updates.

  1. Go to Appdb and link your device
  2. Install Apollo (w/ApolloPatcher) via Appdb
  3. Obtain Reddit Client-ID

Step 1: Go to https://reddit.com/prefs/apps and sign in Step 2: Click the are you a developer? create an app... button Step 3: Fill in the fields

name: Use whatever

Choose Installed App

description: can be left blank

about url: can be left blank

redirect uri: apollo://reddit-oauth

create app

After creating the app you'll get a client identifier; it'll be a bunch of random characters. That is your API key.

  1. Enter it in the Client ID in the settings and tap "Set RedditClientID".

Option 2: Appdb + Scarlet

Note: Scarlet is currently not working as the free signing certificates got revoked. Check on the Scarlet Twitter Account for Status updates.

  1. Install Scarlet If you get ads please install this dns adblock profile from Control D by Windscripe VPN
  2. Download Apollo (w/ApolloPatcher)
  3. Obtain Reddit Client-ID

Step 1: Go to https://reddit.com/prefs/apps and sign in

Step 2: Click the are you a developer? create an app... button

name: Use whatever

Choose Installed App

description: can be left blank

about url: can be left blank

redirect uri: apollo://reddit-oauth

create app

  1. Install Apollo (w/ApolloPatcher) via Scarlet
  2. Enter the Client ID in the settings and tap "Set RedditClientID".

Other Options:

If you know how to use Sideloadly, AltStore or Esign sideload it that way. Advantages are you can use your own signing certificate (Developer Certificate), use your Apple ID as a signing certificate, use free signing certificates from Telegram or use a cheap purchased certificate from SigningCerts.

Telegrams with free signing certificates:

Free Certificate ESign: t.me/p12freeios

ESign 轻松签: t.me/tgqsw

Note: Using ApolloPatcher instead of Artemis or ApolloAPI fixes the logout when closing the app bug. I remade this post because my previous had been removed by automod because too many links were included
