Apollo Reborn 3.5.1 — Swipe Through Galleries, multireddit upgrades, vote breakdowns, private crash reports and more

TL;DR

Apollo Reborn 3.5.1 is a feature-packed follow-up to 3.5.0.

You can now swipe through gallery posts directly in your feed (and swipe up over fullscreen media to open comments), multireddits gain Gallery View, in-app renaming, descriptions and custom icons, posts show approximate vote breakdowns, and a new private, local-only Crash Reports system helps you send us better bug reports without anything ever leaving your device automatically.

There's also a clearer Header Style picker with a new progressive Blur option, an opt-in Apple Translate sheet, full-screen subreddit banner and icon viewers, improved AI Summaries model pickers, Apple Vision Pro hover and multiwindow support, four new Liquid Glass app icons, and a large collection of crash, memory, media, layout and posting fixes — including several for the iOS 27 betas.

⬇️ Download

Grab an IPA from the GitHub release and sideload it using your usual tool, such as AltStore, SideStore, Feather or Signulous.

Sideloading sources can be found on Apollo Reborn

Not sure which installation method to use? Try our interactive Apollo Reborn installation guide.

Answer a few questions about your device and Apple account, and the guide will pick the installation path that will actually work for you — complete with step-by-step instructions.

Which variant should I use?

  • Apollo-Reborn-3.5.1-GLASS.ipa — the iOS 26 Liquid Glass appearance. Most people using iOS 26 will want this.
  • Apollo-Reborn-3.5.1.ipa — the standard build without the Liquid Glass interface.
  • GLASSICONS variants — include the Liquid Glass icon pack.
  • NOEXTENSIONS variants — remove the app extensions for signing setups that require fewer extensions.

Not sure? Try the GLASS build first.

✨ Headline features

Swipe Through Feed Galleries

Gallery posts can now be paged through directly in the feed card — no need to open the post to see every image.

Cards size themselves more intelligently as you swipe, transitions into fullscreen are seamless, and a new Swipe Up for Comments gesture opens the real comments screen right over fullscreen media.

Multireddit upgrades

Multireddits now support Gallery View, can be renamed and given descriptions directly in the app, and can carry custom icons.

There's also a new option to hide multireddit descriptions in the Subreddits list if you prefer a more compact layout.

(#799, #837 — @icpryde)

Vote breakdowns

Posts now show an approximate breakdown of upvotes and downvotes, and your own comments include author-only insights.

(#802 — @jordanearle)

Header Styles

The Scroll Edge Effect setting has been replaced with a clearer Header Style picker, and a new progressive Blur option joins the iOS 26 Soft and iOS 27 Hard styles.

(#843 — @jordanearle)

Private, local-only Crash Reports

Apollo Reborn can now record crash reports entirely on your device.

Nothing is ever sent anywhere automatically: reports stay local unless you open one, review exactly what it contains, and explicitly choose to attach the sanitized report to a bug form. You can inspect the exact JSON that would be shared, and delete reports at any time from Settings → Privacy → Crash Reports.

This should make it dramatically easier to diagnose the crashes that are hardest to reproduce.

(#824 — @jordanearle)

Apple Translate

An opt-in setting lets Apollo's post and comment Translate action open the native Apple Translate sheet on supported iOS versions.

(#812 — @DeltAndy123)

View Banner and View Icon

Subreddit headers gain full-screen View Banner and View Icon actions, with tap-and-hold access to customization options.

(#845 — @icpryde)

🚀 Smaller features

Search improvements

The Search tab supports pull-to-refresh for subreddit discovery, trending results respect their limits reliably, and Random NSFW Subreddit is now its own row.

(#788 — @JeffreyCA)

Better AI Summaries

Cloud AI Summaries gain searchable Gemini and OpenRouter model browsers, working defaults, provider attribution on generated summaries, and clearer service errors.

(#778 — @jordanearle)

Easier-to-find settings

A reddit.com Web Sign-In row now lives under Accounts & API Keys, and the Apollo Reborn hub gains a Theme Manager shortcut.

(#855 — @jordanearle)

Apple Vision Pro

Apollo gains gaze and pointer hover effects plus multiwindow support when running on Apple Vision Pro.

(#759 — @rebelancap)

New Liquid Glass app icons

Four new Liquid Glass icons — Original Apollo, Halo, Aloppo and Pixels — join the picker, and the Apollo Classic, Helios and Jryng artwork has been refreshed for iOS 27.

(#784, #800, #804, #819, #842 — @IllIIllIllIllII)

More reliable Open Reddit Links in Apollo

The recommended automatic Safari routing has moved into the Link Companion app, while the manual and legacy fallback extensions are retained for setups that need them.

(#786 — @jordanearle)

🔧 Fixes

Networking and media reliability

  • Remove avoidable stalls, bound caches and concurrent downloads, preserve animated album media when saving or sharing, and make uploads and share-link resolution more resilient. (#728 — @ryannair05)

Comments

  • Fix newly posted or edited comments appearing blank or incomplete until the thread is reopened — including missing usernames, flair, scores and timestamps. (#808 — @icpryde)

Crashes and memory

  • Fix major crash and memory regressions affecting video-heavy threads, translated or recovered comments, native video comments, and profile-tab long presses. (#796, #823, #829, #844 — @icpryde, @jordanearle)

Gallery and media

  • Fix silent hosted videos, ignored NSFW blur preferences, iOS 27 menu crashes, frozen search-result videos, and blank or permanently compact link previews. (#767, #769, #781, #789, #807 — @jordanearle, @JeffreyCA, @icpryde)

Profiles, subreddit headers and themes

  • Fix flickering and layout issues including unreadable context menus and duration pills, indistinct read posts, uneven row highlights, misaligned profile cards, stuck refresh offsets, and Pixel Pals drifting behind the Dynamic Island. (#846, #848, #849, #853 — @icpryde, @jordanearle)

Posting, translation and moderation

  • Fix long composer titles, an unsafe Text editor Post button, untranslated media-post bodies, poll flair, search state, long translated titles, and incorrect moderator-row routing. (#780, #793, #795, #835 — @jordanearle, @icpryde)

Lists and navigation

  • Fix lists becoming stuck beneath the tab bar on iOS 27 or hiding their final rows on standard builds, and smooth out legacy hide-bars transitions. (#821 — @jordanearle)

Keychain

  • Prevent account recovery and Settings Backup from triggering repeated keychain passcode prompts. (#777 — @jordanearle)

🧪 A note about iOS 27 betas

This release fixes several issues reported on the iOS 27 betas, including lists getting stuck beneath the tab bar and media context-menu crashes, and adds the iOS 27 Hard header style.

Beta behaviour can still change before the final release, so remaining beta-only issues are prioritised when they prevent the app from working, risk data loss, or appear likely to remain in the final version. We will keep testing as Apple releases further betas.

🐛 Found a bug? Want a feature?

You can submit a bug report directly from inside Apollo Reborn — and with this release, you can now optionally attach a sanitized, fully reviewable crash report to it.

Reports and requests can also be submitted through the website:

When reporting an issue, please include your iOS version, Apollo Reborn version, build variant and signing method wherever possible.

If you are using an iOS beta, please also include the exact beta version.

Coming soon: Notifications for all, no paid Apple account needed!

Managed to get notifications working without the need for a paid Apple account by passing them through another app that acts as a notification proxy, Bark. You will still need to self-host the Apollo-backend, which is the code that periodically checks Reddit to know when sending a notification is appropriate, but this at least removes the $99/yr Apple account barrier.

If you would like to help test, grab the IPA from this PR, and run the backend from this PR!

If there’s interest, I may look into setting up a super turnkey method of deploying the backend to a cheap VPS to make things easier for folks.

Thanks for the suggestion to do this /u/swept1!!

[USA-CA][H] Retroid Pocket G2 w/ Dual Screen Attachment [W] Paypal/Venmo

Selling my Retroid Pocket G2 since I ultimately decided to get a Thor. Barely used, like new condition. Includes:

  • Dual screen attachment, Gamecube colorway
  • TPU grip, Gamecube colorway
  • Case that fits the device with TPU grip and screen attached

Get your API key revoked? Help test a new way to log in to Apollo!

Hey everyone! After seeing everyone’s API keys getting revoked (somehow mine has still survived), I started getting nervous about the future of our project. I decided to do some research into some of the other apps floating around, like Hydra and Artemis. It turns out that Hydra just uses regular old web JSON requests with a cookie from a web browser login. I thought - why can’t we do that too?

Well, it turns out, we can! I have a PR up for an experimental toggle that removes the need for any API keys at all. But I would really love some more testers before merging so we can catch if anything is broken before merging. If you are able and willing to test, please grab one of the IPAs from the PR here: https://github.com/Apollo-Reborn/Apollo-Reborn/pull/442

Thanks in advance!

I got the notifications backend working again!!

Forked Christian’s apollo-backend and got it working again with the help of Claude. Unfortunately requires paid Apple dev certs, but it’s so freaking cool to see Apollo push notifications again. Threw up a PR to JeffreyCA’s repo for the necessary app changes: https://github.com/JeffreyCA/Apollo-ImprovedCustomApi/pull/229
