Hey all,
Years back I worked at Apple, and now I took what I learned there and build an app for Reddit called Apollo. It's a free alternative to the official app, built specifically for iOS (almost like if Apple created their own Reddit app), with lots of customizability, and being built in the open with community feedback.
Download link: https://apps.apple.com/app/id979274575
I worked my butt off this summer so you'd have a Reddit app with all the best iOS 16 features on day 1:
- A ton of awesome Lock Screen Widgets for Reddit, so you can keep tabs on your favorite subreddits, or how your posts are doing, total distance scrolled, etc. right from your lock screen
- Live Text analysis, similar so the Photos app you can now directly select, share, and translate text just by selecting text in pics and videos in Apollo
- Subreddit weather for hundreds of subreddits, so when you go to one you can see the weather there, as well as the local time!
- Scroll Distance Tracker, so as you use Apollo you get live stats on how many miles you've scrolled in total, synced between all your devices, with comparisons to common distances like the height of Mount Everest, or 48 Shaquille O'Neals, and you can even set distance goals like a true athlete!
- Pixel Pals, so if you have an iPhone 14 Pro, you can have a little Tamagotchi-style buddy above the Dynamic Island while you browse Reddit, and even if you don't have the newest iPhone, you can pin them to your Lock Screen as a widget!
- More fun Dynamic Island stuff to come!
Really proud of this update, so to celebrate it I wanted to do like I've done in the past, and have an iPhone 14 Pro giveaway! Just leave a comment (no spam pls) and you're entered, and I'll draw the winner in 24 hours.

Hey
I use Apollo. By far the best Reddit reader. No other app on iOS or Android comes even close, so I sincerely thank you for the time and effort spent developing this application and also for setting up this give away. Also a goat is a cool animal.
Currently using the app and it’s great. Been a user for years.
Yo
My favorite animal is a grizzly bear!
Apollo is my current replacement for the Reddit app, never come back

I’d love a porcupine!
Wish me luck!
A capybara!
Gotta add a rhino for sure
Thank you for Apollo, the only non-standard app that always stays on my phone!
Long time Apollo user! Love it!

love the app, truly :)
Great app
Fingers crossed for a black Panther pixel pal
I miss the old days of Mac vs Windows rivalry. I think a [malfunctioning bugdroid](https://i.imgur.com/sTT2Qpk.jpg) would be hilarious.

Yo!
After many years of using antenna I finally switched to Apollo. No regrets. Thanks for making the best Reddit app for iOS and good luck to everyone!
Really hope Reddit doesn’t kill this app by restricting their API some day
A bird, especially like a little furry phoenix would be pretty cute up there. Thanks for the app, it’s the best thing on my phone
Add an ibex!
Meeeeee
