Mirrored from Apollo-Reborn v1.15.11_4.1.0.

These IPAs are the official Apollo-Reborn builds, re-hosted here so this long-standing AltStore source keeps working for existing users. Apollo-Reborn also runs its own website and sources at https://apolloreborn.app


Features

  • Add a Subreddit Switcher choice of Classic or Modern under Interface → Display & Navigation: Classic brings back Apollo's original Favorites popup for title taps and Posts tab holds, and Modern keeps the search sheet (#1604: @IllIIllIllIllII)
    • Classic is the default on regular iPhones, so updating from 4.0.x brings the popup back; Modern is the default on iPhone Duo
    • Modern now opens with the keyboard up and starts loading your pick right away, and on the iPhone Duo holding the Posts tab opens the switcher from the side rail and when unfolded
  • Add Jump Button Navigation so the comment jump button can step through comments posted since your last visit instead of top-level threads; press and hold to go back one (#1506: @IllIIllIllIllII)
    • Choose Threads (default) or New Comments under Settings → General below Jump Button Position, or from a post's ••• menu; the button shows a NEW label in that mode
  • Add Tint Tab Bar Icons to give unselected tab icons a muted shade of your theme's accent, on the classic and Liquid Glass tab bars and the iPhone Duo side rail (#1684: @IllIIllIllIllII, @AcornElf)
    • Add Accent Navigation Buttons on Liquid Glass to draw Back, toolbar and menu buttons in your theme's accent; titles stay neutral
    • Both are off by default under Settings → Appearance → Theme Manager → Options
  • Add Unread Badges under Interface to show the Inbox's unread count as a small dot on the tab bar and on the Inbox's Notifications and Chat tabs, and to color unread badges with your theme's accent instead of red (#1680: @icpryde, @AcornElf)
    • Compact Dot on Tab Bar, Compact Dot in Inbox (shown while modern Chat is on) and Theme Color are each off by default
  • Show Hidden & Deleted in Apollo's own post and comment lists, so results follow your post size, thumbnails, text size, themes, swipe actions and menus, and open their threads like anywhere else (#1485: @IllIIllIllIllII)
    • Items keep their Hidden, Removed or Deleted label, removed posts keep their saved title and media, and the Posts tab has its own Compact Posts / Large Thumbnails button
  • Add a Spelling setting under Interface → Display & Navigation: Apollo Reborn's screens now use American spelling to match Apollo, and choosing British changes the whole app's spelling to British (#1648: @IllIIllIllIllII)
    • Posts, comments, usernames and subreddit names keep the spelling they were written with
  • Add All+ to blend NSFW posts back into r/all by Reddit's own hot ranking, the way old Reddit's r/all showed them (#1472: @nnastasi)
    • Off by default: turn on Show NSFW in r/all under Posts & Feeds → All+; it applies to the Hot, Best and Rising sorts, and an optional NSFW boost slider moves them higher
  • Make swipes on the open iPhone Duo follow your finger: Back within a pane, closing a thread, opening and closing the subreddit list and leaving a profile, with a forward swipe to bring a closed thread or profile back (#1656: @IllIIllIllIllII)
    • With Disable Left Swipes on, swipe right anywhere in a pane to go Back, folded or unfolded, while galleries and carousels keep their own swipes (#1476: @nnastasi)
    • Turning Split View on or off no longer squashes post and comment text or makes the title bar jump, and sideways drags no longer open posts or start the text loupe
  • Add a draggable divider between the feed and thread in the open iPhone Duo's landscape split view: hold the grip and drag to resize, and Apollo remembers your width (#1672: @IllIIllIllIllII)
    • It snaps near ⅓, 40%, 50% and 60%; double-tap the grip to return to 50/50
  • Use the Focused feed layout in open portrait on the iPhone Duo too, and switch layouts from feeds and threads opened in Inbox, Account and Search (#1682, #1652: @IllIIllIllIllII)
    • Tall images, galleries and videos now fill the Focused column instead of half its width
  • Add tabletop video controls on the half-folded iPhone Duo: a fullscreen video moves above the fold, with large rewind, play/pause and forward buttons, a timeline, mute, Playback Speed and AirPlay below it (#1591: @nunoo)
    • It turns on by itself when you half-fold with a video open and goes back to the normal viewer when you unfold; on every device, Hold for Video Speed no longer fires when you press a video control

Fixes

  • Load hot, new and rising feeds, more replies rows and subreddit icons again on API-Key-Free accounts after Reddit started blocking them in early November (#1657, #1666: @DeltAndy123)
    • Installs with Use Route Updates on already picked these up; this version builds them in
  • Reload a feed that failed because Reddit's rate limit was reached on API-Key-Free accounts once the limit resets, instead of leaving "Couldn't load posts" until you pull to refresh (#1670: @icpryde)
    • The empty list says the posts will load when the limit resets, and the Inbox sends one fewer request at launch
  • Keep API-Key-Free Mode off after you turn it off, instead of it switching back on at the next launch; the account returns to its API key sign-in, or Apollo asks you to sign in again if that sign-in no longer works (#1627: @icpryde)
  • Load more replies rows and Inbox replies' parent comments again for API keys Reddit started refusing in late October (#1620: @icpryde)
  • Keep your subscribed subreddits in the subreddit list when Apollo's background refresh fails, often right after returning to the app, instead of showing only Home, Popular and All until you pull to refresh (#1674: @icpryde)
  • Fix a crash right after opening Apollo on iOS 27.2 with Liquid Glass when you switch away while the navigation buttons are still animating in, and a crash opening Settings → General on some iPhone Duo setups (#1630: @icpryde)
  • Fix Apollo freezing after closing a comment thread on Liquid Glass, most often in the unfolded iPhone Duo split view (#1515: @nnastasi)
  • Show Reddit API Key Required when you sign in with an API key before adding one, instead of opening Reddit's login page and failing after you log in; Add API Key opens Accounts & API Keys (#1597: @icpryde)
  • Post a GIF from your camera roll in a comment or reply as the animated GIF instead of a still of its first frame, whichever upload host you use (#1669: @icpryde)
    • Subreddits that allow images but not GIFs in comments still get the still
  • Start a YouTube video in Apollo's player when iOS refuses to autoplay it, instead of the loading screen spinning forever (#1599: @icpryde)
  • Stop showing "Translated from …" under short comments, names and stretched words that Google only re-spells when it isn't sure of the language (#1675: @icpryde)
  • Open an Inbox reply or comment link without the Find in Comments bar flashing over the loading page, the comments jumping after they load, or an imgur image showing a link card first (#1602: @icpryde)
  • Reopen Popular or All at launch with Restore Reading Session on, instead of every tab you open snapping back to Posts for a few seconds and the feed never reopening (#1627: @icpryde)
  • Open Community Highlights cards again on Apollo 1.14 (iOS 14), along with sidebar and settings links, Search tab results and profile social links that did nothing when tapped since 4.0.0 (#1619: @icpryde)
  • Open the right action from a subreddit header's Sidebar and Set User Flair buttons after reordering or hiding items with Customize Action Menus (#1596: @IllIIllIllIllII)
  • Swipe up on the Account Switcher's list to expand it to full screen and drag down at the top to shrink it, and reorder accounts without the sheet moving (#1645: @IllIIllIllIllII)
    • On the closed iPhone Duo the "Accounts" title is centered, and the per-account API key editor fits with Back inside the sheet and Clear Custom Key for This Account visible (#1683: @IllIIllIllIllII)
  • Keep the Return Button after a swipe-back you let go of, instead of it disappearing from a page that stayed open (#1678: @IllIIllIllIllII)
    • On the iPhone Duo it is now round like the buttons beside it and stays after List and Split in open portrait
  • Point the Touch ID prompt at the side button when reopening Apollo in another orientation with Touch ID & Passcode on, instead of a corner of the screen (#1633: @IllIIllIllIllII)
  • Slide navigation titles left into free space on Liquid Glass instead of shrinking them to "…", such as beside a Live Activity on the unfolded iPhone Duo (#1632: @IllIIllIllIllII)
  • Open the Delete Multireddit and Unsubscribe confirmations beside the subreddit list's Delete button on Liquid Glass, without a dark circle over the list (#1677: @IllIIllIllIllII)
  • Polish the classic (non-Liquid Glass) look (#1601, #1603, #1605, #1606, #1616, #1617, #1618: @IllIIllIllIllII)
    • Keep the feed search bar readable and in place: tapping it no longer slides the nav bar away, Cancel puts it back, and the subreddit banner stays visible; with Hide Bars on Scroll, scrolling back up and going back bring the header and nav bar back where they belong
    • Match the rows Apollo Reborn adds to Settings to the height of Apollo's own rows, and let you reorder Settings Shortcuts by dragging
    • Open the account switcher as the usual bottom sheet inside posts, with its buttons in your theme color instead of blue
    • Open the ••• on your own profile as Apollo's action sheet, and show the Return Button as a normal navigation-bar button in your theme color
  • Make Swipe Tab Bar to Navigate work on the iPhone Duo: swipe down the side rail to go Back and up to go Forward, or along the bottom bar in open portrait, with the page following your finger (#1702: @IllIIllIllIllII)
    • On every iPhone, letting go of a Forward swipe early no longer clears your forward history
  • Keep the closed iPhone Duo's side rail working when a Live Activity, Moderator or Translate leaves it short of room: More (•••) opens in one tap with Sort, its time ranges and Moderator tools inside, and the subreddit list keeps Edit and Add in the rail (#1473, #1688: @IllIIllIllIllII)
  • Center subreddit headers beside the side rail on the closed iPhone Duo, so the banner, icon and name aren't cut off by the Back button (#1655: @IllIIllIllIllII)
  • Fit the update prompt and What's New on the closed iPhone Duo, so the version line, Release Notes link and Download IPA aren't cut off and Continue is centered (#1598, #1600: @IllIIllIllIllII)
  • Open the unfolded iPhone Duo to the subreddit list when Default Reddit to Load is set to Lists, and keep the list open when unfolding from it, instead of loading Home (#1676: @IllIIllIllIllII)
  • Keep the comment jump button in place while swiping back from a thread on the iPhone Duo, instead of it jumping to the left edge as the swipe starts (#1699: @IllIIllIllIllII)
  • Show the color and icon behind a swiped comment in the unfolded iPhone Duo split, instead of an invisible swipe (#1634: @IllIIllIllIllII)
  • Keep scrolling responsive right after you fold or unfold the iPhone Duo, instead of the first scroll being ignored or put back (#1497: @nnastasi)
  • Keep the keyboard up when you tap a search field on the open iPhone Duo with another app's video pinned to the top of the screen, instead of it closing right away (#1705: @IllIIllIllIllII)
  • Keep the iPhone Duo feed layout when Picture in Picture or another app sits on top of the open Duo: the Feed Layout button shows, media fits the shorter pane, posts are no longer cut off on the right, and Hide Tab Bar on Scroll works (#1693: @nunoo)
  • Stop a forward swipe on the open iPhone Duo reopening a page you had already left after picking a subreddit or opening a thread (#1489: @nnastasi)
