It emphasizes on the browsing experience more than anything else. Beam for Reddit - A Client for Viewersīeam, as their developers described, it’s a client built to browse Reddit.
Fortunately, the developer is actively communicating with users and he is quite open about the roadmap and his decisions. In comparison to older apps, Apollo misses some important features as well, namely the Gallery View. The app feels polished and snappy, but it needs more time to mature. The Markdown editor shines even more on the iPad where you get more room for advanced features, similar to 1Writer or iA Writer.Īpollo is still a very young client although it is being developed for more than three years before it is being released. That’s why I think Apollo is more appealing to Reddit users who like to write long posts. It offers a nice and clean preview and all the other features that you’d expect from a Markdown editor. Apollo provides a feature-rich Markdown environment for posting long and elaborate posts on Reddit. The reason being that the writing experience in Apollo is genuinely different. The only feature that is being locked behind an IAP ( 2.99$/ 3.99€), is the ability to post on Reddit, everything else is free. A subtle haptic feedback is rewarding every little interaction within the app this makes upvoting even more rewarding!Īpollo is essentially Free. They act and feel similar to how they feel in Mail or Notes app. As a result, you immediately feel like that you know the app and every interaction hidden in it. The developer inherited a lot from the behavior of default iOS apps, and he followed the Apple HUD very closely. The core experience is intuitive and straightforward. I do not expect many of them last any longer as I am sure Reddit team would not like them very much, as YouTube didn’t like ProTube or Twitter doesn’t like TweetBot!Īpollo is maybe the youngest Reddit client on iOS, but it’s the purest of them. In the rest of this text, I’ll list a few fantastic Reddit clients available on iOS as an alternative to official Reddit for iOS. Like the early age of the official Twitter app, there are still many excellent third-party apps available for Reddit. It will serve you ads, and track you as other big guys will do. But soon, it will be the next official Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Pinterest apps that everyone hates but have to use because it delivers the first-hand experience and it gets exclusive features that no other app will be allowed to deliver. The official app is young and bold, and it is going to be the go-to app for most people.
Reddit is great the official Reddit app is not! Although Reddit team is pushing hard to come up with a hybrid design language that they can unify the user experiences between iOS and Android, until now they’ve only managed to deliver a buggy and sluggish official app.
