| Posted: 23 Oct 2017 07:39 AM PDT Hey! For the last almost three years, I've been developing a brand new Reddit app for iOS called Apollo. I used to work at Apple, and since then I took what I learned and built Apollo from the ground up to look and feel like a gorgeous Reddit experience that is distinctly iOS, following the design guidelines Apple put forth, to almost envision what Reddit would look like if Apple themselves built a Reddit app, with all the power, speed and flexibility you could possibly want. Download link: https://itunes.apple.com/app/id979274575 Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKbPZVDg-Z8 I posted a few years back, and literally thousands of awesome Redditors joined the beta program to help sculpt the best Reddit experience possible and form Apollo into what it is today. So much of the feedback fundamentally transformed Apollo beyond what I could have done or foreseen myself. It's available for download for free, and I'd love for you all to check it out if you have the chance (and send me feedback over in r/ApolloApp if you have any!). Fundamentally, I focused on giving it a gorgeous iOS design, with a really powerful Media Viewer, incredible comments experince, a full Markdown editor, fully customizable gestures, and so much more. It's insanely powerful, while also maintaining a really clean, simple design. Again, your feedback would be monumental. This is just the beginning for Apollo, and really hope I can keep building onto it for a long time coming with even more incredible features. QuestionsWhy build it? There's already Reddit apps.While there are some nice ones, nothing exactly scratched my itch as to what a Reddit client could really achieve on iOS. Alien Blue came close, but still had a UI that especially once iOS 7 launched felt outdated and somewhat out of place on iOS. Android also has some really great clients, but I just think the experience on iOS has been lacking and is due for something to really show what Reddit on iOS can be. I built Apollo with the goal of not just being the best Reddit experience on iOS, but the best Reddit experience period. What's wrong with the official Reddit app?Nothing, if you're happy, great! Reddit has a lot of really smart people on it. For me, however, I'm not a fan of how they're trying to get one central look across iOS and Android, I really think an iOS app should look and feel like an iOS app, and an Android app should respect Material Design. I think designing for the middle results in a clunky experience where the potential of both platforms is never realized to the fullest. Apollo is an iOS app period, built to take advantage of iOS features and feel like a beautiful, familiar iOS app. I also think they discontinued Alien Blue without incorporating the best parts of it that people loved the most, such as the minimal, uncluttered UI (Alien Blue was much more compact and concise), as well as powerful features like swipe to collapse comments, full screen, inline previews for links in comments, etc. Apollo has all that and more, because I think it's essential part of browsing on iOS. I'm still using Alien Blue, why use Apollo?I can say without question Alien Blue was an incredible app, I loved it. But it's very clearly not being taken care of anymore. If you plan to get an iPhone X, it won't even display properly and will have black bars at the top. For everyone else, it's simply not getting updates or being maintained properly, and it's obviously got worse and worse. Imgur links don't work that well anymore, Reddit's own content links certainly don't, more and more things are stopping loading. Lots of new features of Reddit are missing (and even some old goodies, like multireddits) too. I really built Apollo with the power of Alien Blue in mind, I think if you're a fan of Alien Blue you'll feel right at home in Apollo. It's free? How do you make money/expect it to survive?I more or less just copied how Alien Blue did it, where it's free to download and use forever (with no ads), and you can unlock a "Pro" version in the app for $2.99 that unlocks some extra features like submitting posts (same as Alien Blue did), automatic dark mode, customizing gestures, customizing the app icon, and a bunch more. I mean, I'd love to give out everything for free, but I can't afford to compete with a billion dollar company like Reddit. I'm just one guy in an apartment with an awesome girlfriend and two cute cats, and obviously need some form of revenue in the app to sustain me being able to build the app at all and give it a healthy future. Choosing which features to include in Pro is obviously hard, but I thought Alien Blue set a good standard with its unlockable features, which allowed it to have a healthy, long-ish life. I hope that's understandable, I just really want to be able to keep building onto this app for a long time coming. Does it have ads?No, no ads anywhere. iPad app?Yep, it's a universal app! I have awesome plans to really bring it further and to the next level on iPads as well. Available everywhere?Yes! International, baby! What are your plans for Apollo for the future?A lot. :) I have a ton of things I want to build for Apollo, from an even better, super-powered iPad app, to even more powerful content filtering, more moderator features, full comment search, etc. My plan is to have users vote on which features they want to see the most, and I'll work on those, so it'll become even more of a Reddit app for Redditors, by Redditors. If you have any more I'm more than happy to answer them! I'll be at my keyboard all day until I've answered everything or my wrists fall off. EDIT: Oh boy, you all are hard to keep up with. I will answer every question though if it takes me weeks!

| One year later, how have you managed with no headphone jack? Easier or Harder than you thought? Posted: 22 Oct 2017 02:59 PM PDT I just picked up an 8 after using a 6s and was wondering how people had been acclimating to the lack of headphone jack. Have you switched to bluetooth or just using a dongle? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Screen Mirroring to devices other than Apple TV? Posted: 23 Oct 2017 08:38 AM PDT Does the iPhone use DLNA? or actual streaming? I have a Sharp 43inch 4K smart tv. Any known methods for mirroring to a third party device? [link] [comments]  | ||

| What resolution should iPhone X Wallpapers be? Posted: 23 Oct 2017 01:22 AM PDT I am searching for wallpapers to use on my iPhone X and was wondering what resolution they need to be and if I can download iPhone 7 or 7 plus wallpapers to use on iPhone X. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 22 Oct 2017 08:09 PM PDT I waited this long but my employer won't allow me to keep ios 10 due to security issues. I have iPhone 7 and post update the animations are laggy and many apps misbehave. I see stutters so often that I start to hate it. The main appealing thing about iOS was how smooth and responsive the phone was. Even basic search is broken. Look at this video. I was searching for Expedia app and it wouldn't show up until I typed the entire word. https://youtu.be/A8nJQsXneCk Reddit app lags when I go back and it just drives me nuts. When I press home button it stutters so often to animate back to home screen How do you folks like it? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 23 Oct 2017 07:02 AM PDT One feature I would love to have is the ability to tap the screen to wake my phone like the apple watch. I have no idea why Apple hasn't brought this over to the phones. For me I have my phone mounted to see my screen while I'm at work and I feel just being able to tap the screen to wake it would be nice. Thoughts? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Pre-Ordering iPhone X A1865 Unlocked for All Carriers [T-Mobile Customer] Posted: 23 Oct 2017 07:03 AM PDT Hi, I am a T-Mobile US customer looking to preorder through Apple the iPhone X this week at launch. I want to order the A1865 model so it is not locked to GSM only (which happens if I select the T-Mobile model). It is most likely that the SIM-free version will not be available at launch so all the articles I am reading say 'Buy the Verizon iPhone X' so its unlocked for all carriers but I believe that Apple forces to put in your Verizon account information to preorder it. What is the best way to accomplish this? Do I need to find a friend with a Verizon account to pre-order and then just pop my T-Mobile SIM in the phone when picking it up? Would that even work? Thank you for your help! [link] [comments]  | ||
| How long do you keep your phones for? Posted: 23 Oct 2017 06:57 AM PDT i've always upgraded yearly since i leased my phones it wasn't a big deal. But as price keeps going up i'll likely have to put a down payment on a new phone and at that point i don't know if i'll want to upgrade again right away. In the past i've mainly been android so I [link] [comments]  | ||

| Why does my phone randomly vibrate? Posted: 22 Oct 2017 07:16 PM PDT There will be times where I'll be closing other apps or I'll just be on my phone using my apps and stuff when it'll randomly vibrate as if I had a notification but when I look I never do? What's up with that? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Issue with messaging on iPhone Posted: 23 Oct 2017 04:36 AM PDT Hi all, I'm currently using 11.0.3 on an iPhone 7 and am experiencing a frustrating issue. Every time I start a new text message to a single person, when I'm "searching" for their name the iPhone shows only groups that the person and I have been in. Sometimes if I scroll down several screens, I can find just the single person, but often I have to start the group text and remove everyone but the person I wanted to text. Is there a setting or a way to make it so that it would populate the single user first as opposed to 10-15 group texts that person and I have been in? or am I just stuck with this? Thanks!
