Apollo is honestly the only way to tolerate reddit on iOS (despite all the shortcoming everyone has pointed out). But the most interesting thing about Apollo is the dev's tight feedback loop with his users. Apollo's subreddit has activity that most indie developers can only dream of, and it's well deserved too; Christian goes the extra mile to interact with his users and constantly takes their input into account. https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp

I’m still using Alien Blue. The reader mode for external websites and the multireddit categories is what I’m missing most in other Reddit apps

  Yo, Apollo dev here. Could you clarify a bit? There's a setting to make Apollo always use reader mode for websites, and you can create/edit/view multireddits in Apollo as well, I don't think Alien Blue even had multireddit support?

    Alien Blue works better than Apollo in reader mode in several very significant ways: - In AB dark mode there is no white flash! The screen stays black while the page is loading. In Apollo the screen goes white until the page is finished loading. - In AB the reader mode forces all sites into reader / minimal HTML mode whether or not the website wants to allow reader mode - In AB the reader mode seems to get more images and other content which is left out of reader mode by websites. It also seems to be less confused by some websites that display something other than the main content when reader mode is selected.

      Disappointed that there was no reply to this from the developer. Apparently he either doesn't care about these issues or finds them too difficult to correct!
