A new Reddit client has launched today for iPhone and iPad that has been built specifically with iOS in mind. Apollo is a full featured Reddit client with 3D Touch support, customizable gestures, a fast Jump Bar, and much more.
Former Apple employee, Christian Selig spent the last three years working on crafting Apollo “to almost envision what Reddit would look like if Apple themselves built a Reddit app, with all the power, speed and flexibility you could possibly want.”
Using Apple’s iOS design guidelines and feedback from thousands of Redditors who tried the app with TestFlight, Selig has launched Apollo today and is already receiving lots of positive feedback.
Apollo has a huge list of features that creates what looks like a fantastic user experience.
- Jump Bar, for super-fast hopping between subreddits
- Super-charged Media Viewer for an amazing experience viewing images, GIFs, videos, albums , and more from a variety of sources.

Another cool aspect of Apollo is Selig’s strong commitment to seeking feedback and improving the app.
