- 1123581321 3y agoThe big problem with Apollo is it's so good that it makes me spend way more time on reddit. I've installed and removed it many times. I happily paid for Ultra the day he started offering it because I appreciate the work that went into making it that smooth and useful.
- sarasasa28 3y agoI like Apollo but I ended up having to install the official reddit app because most times if you google something on Mobile, it just doesn't open Apollo and tries to install the official one :/
- samlader 3y agoThis problem can be solved using the Apollo Safari extension. In the Apollo app, click Settings -> General -> Open Reddit Links in Apollo.
- waboremo 3y agoThey have an extension now for that reason, you enable it and automatically opens in Apollo (iirc the catch is to make sure the allow option is set to the reddit domain, not leaving it on "ask"). No more dealing with the purposefully downgraded mobile web page or the official reddit app.
- muttled 3y agoJust be careful about paying for the (one time fee) Pro Apollo at this point. Reddit just changed their API terms and that app may stop working soon-ish without a monthly subscription.
- prepend 3y agoThanks. I tried it, but really don’t want a lot of apps as my phone doesn’t have much storage. And I like having a shared bookmark list for web sites. I appreciate simplicity and one less app means one less update schedule, one less UI, etc etc. Reddit is exactly why the web was invented so using an app just makes me feel a little sad when one of the big benefits of html was that you wouldn’t need custom clients for everything.
