Was Appledusk right when he got mad at Mapleshade and told her to leave RiverClan after her kits died, or should he have been loyal to her and try to persuade Darkstar to let her stay and grieve and have a home?

No. He was just as much involved in a relationship with her as she was with him and had a responsibilty as the father of Patchkit, Larchkit and Petalkit. The least Appledusk could have done after cheating on Mapleshade with Reedshine (or the other way around who knows) was help his (former) mate recover from the shock of losing their kits. I'm not saying that him abandoning her like that caused how she finally snapped and went on to kill three cats (including him) but it certainly contributed to it.

he should have at least showed sympathy for the loss of their kits. but he was totally cold and tried to pretend nothing happened at all. he was right to stay loyal to riverclan and his new riverclan mate, but he didnt need to be completely heartless toward mapleshade. he is partly responsible. those were his kits too, like it or not.

What he did was cowardly, and that scene is still quite haunting. You can see just how much anguish Mapleshade felt in that moment. Appledusk lied to her, cheated on her, and as she said, she went through the agony of birthing his kits.
If he was upset about the kits drowning, that is fine, he has a right to be, but for him to be completely cold to her, throw her under the bus to save his own hide, was disgusting.
He could have at least convinced Darkstar to let her mourn her kits properly and wait out the storm. Instead he stood by and let her be cast out, ripping her from what remained of her children that were just laying dead at her paws moments ago. But what should you expect from an unloyal cat who can't even be loyal to his own clan.

I understand why, but it wasn’t right for him to show no sympathy. He was angry at Mapleshade for leading to their kits’ deaths… but he could’ve been a bit nicer.

No. He couldn't even show sympathy to his dead children or former lover, the disgusting prick.
