Hey! This update has a bunch of awesome additions, I really hope you love it! # New Comments Highlightifier (May need to enable under Settings tab > General > Show Unread Comments) If you read a thread, and then encounter it again later, in your feed Apollo will show a count of how many comments have been added since you last viewed it, and when viewing the thread, it will highlight the new comments. This is really handy for coming back to a thread later and seeing what you missed out on. # Easter Sale Just for this short Easter period you can grab Apollo Ultra lifetime at a discounted rate! ## Richer Title Flair Some subreddits elect to have images and icons in their title flair to better represent a specific flair (like "Happy News" with a smiley face or something), and before Apollo would just show this as a text approximation (for instance, :happyface:), now the imagery is fully rendered right into the title! # New Icons Some of my favorite new home screen icons in awhile. Featuring an absolutely gorgeous set of icons by Adam Whitcroft, an adorable Easter themed icon by Matthew Skiles, and a really cool, kinda spooky icon by s4pete. # New Pixel Pals Added three adorable new Pixel Pals! We have a T-Rex named Rory, Freya the Butterfly, and Kermy the Borzoi. # Other - No longer supports iOS 14. iOS 14 has had miniscule usage in Apollo for awhile now, and as of recently it dipped to well below 1% of users, so this version requires iOS 15 or newer. Having a newer baseline iOS version means devs are able to use newer iOS features (for instance every year there's really awesome advancements to SwiftUI) that make development easier/faster - Revamped the Settings screens a little, in addition to how it looks I also moved the Themes option into the "Appearance" section to reduce confusion - New icons - Should fix bug with home feed showing same old content from when you were signed out - If you select a paid feature Apollo now prompts you to unlock Ultra. This is an attempt to simplify because of confusion around the dual offerings (Pro and Ultra) in Apollo, where it'll hopefully be more simple/obvious what to unlock if you simply want everything in the app, which is better for most users than "buy this, then this". (Pro is still available to purchase though and can be done so through Settings) - Changed the icon for "Best" sort, firstly to somewhat commemorate a change in how the Best algorithm works in Apollo, and secondly because it's the primary sort icon that Apollo users are exposed to, and I've had a ton of feedback over the years that the trophy icon is not at all clear for "tap this to sort" - Open in Apollo Safari extension now works properly with old Reddit as well - If you have the option enabled to automatically collapse AutoModerator, Apollo will now properly collapse the comment even if it's not stickied - Revamped the live comment sort a little, so it should be faster and work even better - Exclude Subscriptions from Feed now works not only with r/All, but with r/Popular as well - Related to the previous item, added an option in Settings to always enable subscribed subreddit exclusion from r/All and r/Popular, so you don't have to manually enable it each time - Fixed a bug with Wikipedia preview parsing for non-English languages # Thank You I really hope you enjoy the update! Thank you for using Apollo! - Christian

This update for Apollo includes a few important features: - Apollo closes on June 30th, if you have time left in your subscription, this update allows you to decline a refund on the remaining subscription time. If you don't decline the refund, you will automatically receive a pro-rated refund for the remaining time. If you've been happy with the service I've provided over the years, please consider declining the refund as they are refunded out-of-pocket. I thank you! - Added a "Goodbye Apollo" Wallpaper set. If you want to remember Apollo for years to come after its shut down date, and support its creator one last time, consider checking out the incredible set of Apollo themed wallpapers, created by talented designers who have built Apollo icons over the years. - I've unlocked all the icons in the app for everyone, and even added over a dozen new ones that I had planned to continue adding over the next year plus. Also themes are now available for all. I have another update coming for the end of the month that adds some additional cool features, so stick around and keep browsing until the curtain closes! If you're unclear about why Apollo is closing, Reddit recently announced some very, very expensive API prices for developers, and in combination with only providing 30 days to enact the changes, Apollo won't be able to afford continuing beyond Reddit's cutoff date of June 30th, 2023. There are more details in the ApolloApp subreddit if you're curious. As mentioned through the in-app announcements, it's been the pleasure of a lifetime building Apollo for you over the last 9 years. I thank you so much for your kindness, input, and generosity over the years. - Christian

Pushes out a few more fixes before everything closes down! - Adds ability to migrate your Apollo Pixel Pals to the new separate Pixel Pals app, and even includes a fun easter egg if you do so. If you're not familiar with Pixel Pals, it's a really fun app that lets you customize your iOS device with a variety of cute virtual pets. It'd really mean a lot to me if you checked it out and considered supporting it! - Added a bunch more wallpapers to the "Goodbye Apollo" Wallpaper Set. It's available in Settings, and is a great way to remember Apollo for years to come with some incredible wallpapers by the amazing designers who have created Apollo's icons over the years. - If you have time left on your subscription, you have the option to go to the Settings tab and decline the automatic refund. Developers pay refunds out-of-pocket, so your kindness and consideration would mean a lot to me there given how unexpected the last few weeks have been. Cancelling your subscription in the Settings app isn't enough, you also have to manually decline the refund in Apollo if you so choose. As the hour gets closer the app will change automatically to no longer being able to browse Reddit, but you'll still be able to open it and customize the home screen app icons with the over 100 incredible icons added over the years. Pixel Pals migration, wallpapers, merch, and more are also available, as well as the possibility of another fun easter egg revealing itself. I feel like I've said it a lot over the last few weeks, but I feel so, so fortunate that I've been able to build an app over the last 9 years alongside such an incredible community who helped me to shape the app for the better. I've met and talked with so many cool people, and the app is infinitely better than it was from the outset because of it. I'm heartbroken it's ending this way, but I've loved every minute of building this app for you folks and wouldn't have done a thing differently. Love y'all. - Christian

Adds an option to download all wallpapers rather than having to do it individually. Also adds an option to sign up to be notified for my Next Thing™!

Updates metadata and in-app details to more accurately reflect the nature of this app being in a "historic/commemorative" state, but still with the option to unlock wallpapers if you so choose

Fixes a few small bugs, namely the new comments tracker not showing up for some users, as well as an issue with the media viewer where when you tried to zoom the media would also zoom but zoom away in a random direction.

Fixes a bug where flair could be rendered weirdly when displaying a right-to-left language.

A brand new icon that harkens back to an earlier period in iOS icon design, as well as some bug fixes. Beyond that the rest is in the next big juicy update. :)
