      It is and it was my go-to app for iOS. I was very excited when it got bought by Reddit because it was a really good app, but it slowly turned into shit over time. It didn’t respect my subreddit subscriptions and it eventually showed more ads.

      I didn’t notice at first, but I decided to try out Apollo because people pointed out what’s happening to the official app (formerly Alien Blue). I immediately felt the difference, so I uninstalled the official app. It’s crazy how Reddit was able to turn it into an ad-fest sneakily.

      Yeah. Basically the proto-official app. Apollo was (allegedly) inspire by AlienBlue, but I’m not sure if that’s just a rumor or not. People called it the spiritual successor during Apollo’s whole run.
