#3I’ve been using it for (if memory serves) and I can confirm it’s by far the best Reddit client I’ve ever used. The only (microscopic) downside is that when one navigates to a Reddit link it isn’t offered as an option to open in. But that‘a Reddit’s doing and not theirs. Thumbs up.

#4This is possibly my most-uninstalled app because it makes reddit too addicting for me to handle.
Its popularity is certainly a comment on the problems with overly JavaScript heavy web apps.
Apollo’s biggest weakness is notifications. They don’t appear as quickly as they should and, for me, chat notifications don’t come through at all. I don’t prefer chat, but I’ve noticed an increasing number of users will open a chat with you instead of messaging you now.
It also doesn’t support having multiple “tabs” open at once, although you can sort of hack it by using the main tab and the search tab. Hoping multiple tabs come to the eventual iPad-optimized release.
But again, great app. Possibly too great for people with limited self-control!

#5I don't use reddit any other way right now, honestly.
I miss the side-pane view that AlienBlue had for iPad, but everything else is great.

#6One of the best Reddit apps I've ever used, makes it far too easy to browse Reddit! Plus updates usually come with pretty decent changes

#8Does it show ads?
not that i've noticed. Then again, 95% of my subscribed subreddits are highly NSFW in one way or another, so i think that means they don’t have ads on those subreddits anyway.

Do you use the Opener app? It is a quick two taps to share reddit links with it, and then it automatically kicks reddit links over to Apollo.

That describes it perfect and is the same “problem” I have.
