1 Sign in or up

If you already have a Reddit account, you can sign in here, and Apollo will bring in your current subscriptions, messages and settings. If you’re new to Reddit, tap on the Create Account link and you’ll be taken step by step through the process.

2 Pick your topic

Tap on Posts to choose from three options: Home, for posts from subreddits (topic-specific posting areas) you’ve subscribed to; Popular Posts, what’s currently trending, or All Posts. Tap on the ‘+’ button to find specific subreddits.

3 See your selection

In this example, we’ve searched for greyhounds, which takes us straight to the r/greyhounds subreddit. As you can see, it’s simple: posts appear in an infinite scrolling window and you just click on the ones you want to read in full.

4 Adjust the options

If you tap on the ‘…’ options icon at the top right of the screen you’ll see a selection of options such as hiding posts you’ve already read, showing posts in a more compact view, viewing the subreddit’s rules and so on.

5 Read the chat

Reddit shows comments on its posts, which you’ll see when you click on a post title. Here you can read what other people are saying, and you can also tap on the ‘…’ icon next to a comment to upvote (like) or downvote (dislike) it.
