As an early and ongoing Apollo user, this is a fantastic app, highly recommended, including all the premium/ultimate/lifetime whatevers. And the periodic swag offerings are great too.
That said, I keep wondering when the iPad design mentioned what seems like ‘years’ ago is coming.
I keep hoping for something like Hack for HN that takes what’s currently a waste of screen width when using Apollo in landscape on iPad Pro (posts take 1/2 screen width, with 1/4 screen width margins on each side, putting the posts just out of reach of your thumbs when holding sides of ipad), and instead puts that list of posts on the left 1/4, and shows comments for a selected post on the right 3/4.
// Separately, for image post subreddits, like /r/EarthPorn/, really should have a mode to simply view photos scaled to full screen and swipe left/right to prior/next photo post, with a tap to see the post title and vote UI as an overlay, push up to go into photo + comments mode.
