Hey all! Just wanted to shout out the app we are working on for Lemmy on iOS. We love Apollo and took lots of inspiration from it, but also have a lot of our own twists on the experience (Federation has it’s own twists on top of a single website!).
We are actively pushing updates a few times a week right now and building up a solid foundation if “1.0” features to submit to the app store in the coming weeks/months.
Personally it’s be a great excuse to learn Swift, SwiftUI and iOS development in general. What a blast!
Sign up for the Test Flight today before it fills up!
Def my favorite so far.
Wefwef is the closest thing to Apollo I’ve experienced so far https://wefwef.app/settings/install
Second this! Shocking how similar it feels despite being a web app.

It seems a little buggy, but my guess would be that it is just getting hit hard with activity.
Got a link for the TestFlight?
It’s a web app. Just follow the instructions to put it on your home screen and launch it from there.
Holy shit, this is the one. I hope a native one comes out one day, but I’m shocked at how good this web app is.
Yup, this is Apollo carbon copy alright. And I LOVE IT. I was honestly worries since my experience with webapps was less than stellar for a while, they’re trash at best. But this is surprisingly fluid and feels close to a native app. I’ve both Mlem app and this, and so far this has HEAPS more features backed in and the only advantage Mlem has over it is that it is an app.
it might be the closest from an ui/ux point of view but it still has a lot of issues with posts, messages, commentaries not loading.
But it is one to keep an eye on, I’ll give it that.
Top Tip for anyone taking: Definitely “install” it to your home screen; it makes the gestures work so much better.
I’d also recommend giving Memmy a try:

I have no idea what to do to get that app
Posting from memmy right now and it’s pretty damn good. Even got some good themes.
