## What it is
An AltStore/SideStore/Feather source and website that distributes tweaked IPAs of Apollo for Reddit, injected with the community-maintained Apollo-Reborn tweak so users can keep using the discontinued Reddit client with their own API credentials. The repo now mirrors Apollo-Reborn's official builds for existing subscribers.

## Use cases
- install Apollo for Reddit on iOS via AltStore
- keep using a Reddit client with my own Reddit API credentials
- sideload a tweaked Reddit app on iPhone or iPad
- auto-update Apollo IPAs through SideStore or Feather
- get a Liquid Glass styled Apollo build on iOS 26
- use fewer App IDs when signing Apollo with a free Apple developer account

## When to choose
- you already subscribe to this source in AltStore, SideStore, or Feather and want seamless auto-updates
- you want a native, gesture-driven Reddit client on iOS with custom API access
- you need a no-extensions IPA variant to conserve App IDs on a free Apple account

## When to avoid
- you want the actively developed tweak or new source — use Apollo-Reborn's official site at apolloreborn.app instead
- you need an official App Store Reddit client or Android support
- you expect bug fixes from this repo — issues belong in the Apollo-Reborn repository
