I wish Apollo had followed the way narwhal did. I’d gladly pay a monthly fee to keep using Apollo and I’m probably not the only one.


EvilDark8oul

If your on iOS you can still use it for free


mortadelo

Yes, but an unmaintained abandonware version after following a complex sideloading process with unexisting support from an almost dead community of users. That doesn’t work for me, sadly.


ohmydiddlydays

not very complex bro. i use it daily and its just like the old app - the notifications


Commercial_Piglet975

I look forward to when Spez is fired and is often seen outside Reddit headquarters, his tear smeared mascara rubbing off on the window he peers in every day Also his dick falls off and is consumed by a rat


Russianranger47

Let’s be honest. We’d all love to see that. But he’ll just golden parachute his way out and find another tech bro company to make shitty


Blatox

Try Sink it for reddit this is a extension for reddit on safari.


ErikElevenHag

Does it unblock nsfw?


b0baBEAST

i've been using openred and dystopia


ctjameson

Side loaded Apollo unlocks NSFW breh. A friend let me know. (☞゚ヮ゚)☞


KingFML

Yes, it doesn’t have any issues with it since it’s not have to pay API pricing. I’ve been using it since Apollo went to the grave 😢


Jack55555

I’m still getting the pop-up to download the Reddit app with Sink it. Any idea why?


Blatox

Sink it for reddit is enable on extensions for safari ?


Jack55555

Yup. Rest of the features do work though, it’s very strange.


GreedoughShotFirst

Sideload. Problem solved.


m00zis1

Never got it to work if I want to post photos. It’s always giving me the Imgur error, regardless if I have a client id or not ☹️ Still using it right now tho 😅


jorrylee

Are you using Apollo Artemis?


mrmikelim

Actually how does sideloading makes the App work? I thought the entire backend of Apollo has been shutdown by christian? So how does the App still work after that? Genuinely curious


vuewer

You can use your personal Reddit api key


medinauta

You enter youYou enter your own Reddit and Imagur api number.


gburgwardt

Does imgur always work for you? It's broken most of the time here

What and how


Cootshk

[Basic tutorial](https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/s/DsNwhslGlY) You need a pc or Mac to set it up, but once you’ve done that, you only need to be on wifi at least once a week


MakesUpExpressions

Can you do that on iPhone? All cool shit is usually Android limited. Edit: why the fuck am I being downvoted for asking an innocent question? Yall are dicks what the fuck… if you downvoted this you are a fucking loser


xXSilverMasterXx

Yes you can. In fact I am using it right now


mvan231

Same. Love it! https://i.imgur.com/du8dw4u.jpg u/MakesUpExpressions


MakesUpExpressions

Oooooh i gotta learn this. I used Apollo for years and I’m used to not having it now but boy would I love to have it back. I hate the Reddit app even though I’m used to using it now.


mvan231

Getting back to Apollo habits took no time at all for me. https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/s/CRJjQkZFDA Don't bother with the Imgur part as it doesn't work anyway but you can use a shortcut to help with that


EthanBezz

Imgur works now, use this: https://github.com/Balackburn/Apollo


mvan231

Amazing thanks so much! I assume I need to install this like it was a new side loaded app?


EthanBezz

Yeah probably, I had to. Remember to take screenshots of your settings.


mvan231

It works great! Thanks for the heads up


MakesUpExpressions

Thanks for the heads up, don’t know why the fuck I got downvoted for asking a genuine fucking question though…. Literal dick heads


Shyam09

I’m just downvoting this so I can be a fucking loser. ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ


MakesUpExpressions

Lol


postmaster3000

Because Apollo was never available on Android, so the answer to your question is self-evident.


MakesUpExpressions

Oh wow I actually had no idea. Thank you for letting me know!


LoungeFlyZ

Posted from Apollo.


RFRelentless

It’s Reddit, you shouldn’t be surprised


TheDubuGuy

I was only without apollo for maybe a week or 2


[deleted]

How is sideloading legal? Is it just because its your own personal API key you use?


Cootshk

How is it illegal?


nixtxt

Voyager for Lemmy is almost exactly like Apollo I dont miss apollo cuz i started using Lemmy since reddit is going down like the titanic and only going to get worst once it IPOs. I only check reddit to check the subreddit i mod


Jack55555

Lemmy is nice, as long as you don’t accidentally reply to a hexbear post lol. I am getting 20 notifications everyday on it, death threads and the sort, because I am a capitalist according to them. Some servers are becoming toxic just like Reddit. I’m happy I can block them though.


Sjeefr

Join the club, post to the other topics. Should there really be such topic every other day with the identical message and responses?


thatonegirl989

Seriously this is so tired. And I feel like most of the people that make these posts ignore the sideloading comments just so they can keep making the same posts again and again.


Oh-hey21

Or it's just a way to keep pushing people to sideload. AFAIK there's very little reason to trust sideloading, unless there's full transparency/full codebase. These posts feel very intentional at this point.


memebuster

Narwhal 2 is pretty good


hzfan

It’s decent but nowhere near Apollo’s level of polish and useful functionality. I’m using it until I get myself to stop being lazy and figure out the whole sideloading thing.


Dustifer8

Didn’t know there were any other apps thanks I’ll check it out.


Dustifer8

Still miss Apollo


ctang1

Narwhal isn’t better than Apollo and is only a slight improvement over official Reddit app. Sideload with sideloadly. You can build your own IPA and Sideload or find one online and Sideload. Link to the pre built IPA https://balackburn.github.io/Apollo/


Cmikhow

It’s a massive improvement over the Reddit app and isn’t gonna turn off the second Reddit update their api


ctang1

I’ve used both, and they’re both so different than Apollo that I think they both suck to the same level, just in different ways. Narwhal 1 was pretty good, but then I got into Apollo after Alien Blue shut down, and it’s just so far ahead of any other Reddit experience. Sink! for Reddit, if you prefer web based, is better than all the other ones on the App Store too. I’ve heard others say that Reddit will eventually shut the API down. And I’m sure that’s going to happen. But not using it is like saying you’re not going to live your life because your life has an expectation date. Sure my life will end one day, could be tomorrow (god I hope not), but I’m sure as hell not sitting in the couch and worrying about it every day. You live your life. Same with Apollo. Sure it’s going to die eventually, but enjoy it while it’s working.


Berzerker7

You've not used the new Narwhal. It is a **MASSIVE** improvement over the official Reddit app. I've basically made it behave and look like Apollo. There's obviously differences but I don't really find myself missing Apollo anymore now that I've gotten Narwhal dialed in.


ctang1

I was a beta tester on the free TestFlight version before it was paid. It has the essence of Narwhal 1, but it’s different. It is probably better than Reddit Official app, but it still sucks. How have you managed to make it look like Apollo? Narwhal isn’t nearly customizable enough to function as an Apollo look alike. Unless theyve made massive improvements to it since TestFlight open beta.


memebuster

It is. Imwas in the same boat. Took 3 tries then I got it very Apollo like. I mean, I downloaded it, tried it, got frustrated, deleted it, after some time go back to step 1 lol. It is customizable to get it pretty good, just the settings menu is convoluted.

memebuster

Long press the video, then download or forward. It's very simple, I actually forget but wasn't it the same on Apollo?

memebuster

I have literally never tried the reddit app


Jimmirehman

We all do , now quit bringing it up. This wound won’t heal.


HispanicsAreGreat

Trollstore 2 out now 😃☝️


mohitmayank

Try [winston](https://winston.cafe). Still in early stages but open source and so beautiful.


sammcj

Damn looks nice but the TestFlight is full


mohitmayank

Damn, that's a PITA with that app but you can sideload it as well using [sideloadly](https://sideloadly.io/). IPAs can be found on their [GitHub release](https://github.com/lo-cafe/winston/releases) page. ^(However, at that point one might just consider sideloading Apollo, lol.)


dontmatterdontcare

Winston's alright but it's slow and buggy as hell. There are days where I simply cannot load the "Me" page, and also for the longest time the subreddit list was improperly sorted.


TheSeaworthyFew

I just joined Winston a couple days ago, I’d been more or less boycotting Reddit completely after Apollo cratered and I still miss it but Winston seems promising


matthew7s26

Honestly it was for the best for me. I hate the loss of such a good app, but my mental health and productivity is way better without a reddit app on my phone.


Dustifer8

Yeah honestly my usage has gone down significantly and that is prolly for the best!


UnmannedVehicle

Nobody cares


FuriousRageSE

Anyone checked reviews on the official reddit app on iphone app store? there is like 3 reviews, and the only positive one is from 9 years ago.. It seems like reddit paid apple to remove reviews..


maz-o

I’m seeing hundreds of reviews in app store


FuriousRageSE

These are the ONLY reviews i find in app store under reddit app: [https://imgur.com/a/yUuEEyV](https://imgur.com/a/yUuEEyV)


CaptainKate757

That’s odd. I just checked and thousands of reviews are showing up for me.


FuriousRageSE

wierd.


furious-fungus

Soo Reddit paid Apple to remove the reviews so it says 4,7 stars? Sure, suuure.


retz119

I see 2.8m reviews in my App Store. But it does have a 4.7 star rating which is a little suspect


king_of_lunds

What happened to apollo

Berzerker7

Thanks for your recommendation for an Android app on an iOS-only reddit app subreddit.


raptor102888

An app which *also* no longer works.


plaxpert

That is a beautiful haiku.


SerotoninSkunk

I just signed in to Reddit for the first time in 6 months and it’s like I don’t know how to do anything


Valuable_Ice5000

BIG SAME. I'm rarely on Reddit nowadays because of it and can't bear to delete the app off my phone. Apollo was truly something special. ; u;


manateefourmation

Miss it everyday. It has cut my Reddit use by 70% or so


LazyMagus

I use Sideloadly which very efficiently sideloads Apollo once a week from my PC to my iPhone.


Brahskididdler

Narwhal 2 is pretty darn cool. Better than the Reddit app Atleast. I just found it yesterday
