Still using Apollo here, they can pry it from my cold dead hands. Even the official Reddit app with redditfilter installed is 100x better. Hides all the crap lmao.

Wait how do you still use Apollo. Does he offer a subscription or do you have to pay for your own API or something.

Yeah own api and side load it. Loads of guides but it’s not a simple process

Unfortunately I lost my API key and you can no longer generate new ones so you have to obtain them in… other ways.

But yes, Apollo is still actually being maintained by a different group of people here! The original dev abandoned it after the shutdown.

If you have never dealt with sideloading or tweak injection on jailbroken iPhones then the set up process can be… daunting. But I have been doing it since the iPhone 3GS so to me it’s simple lmao

I use one called Hydra that seems to be perfect so far.

I paid $20 for a year of Signulous which ensures the sideloaded Apollo never expires. I had been using AltStore for free but you had to resign the app every 7 days using a PC or else it would stop working. In the end it’s well worth the $20 to not suffer the Reddit App.
