      wefwef is seriously one of the best PWA I’ve ever seen. I’m interested in trying out mlem once it goes live on the App Store

        Why do you want to wait for the App Store version? FlightTest is made by apple, no jailbreak, no illegal things. It’s a separate App Store where you need an invite link to access an app. And here is the Link

          You’re right, I don’t have a good reason not to use it other than preference. I used to be on beta for everything when I was on Android and when I switched to iOS I decided not to.

            So why is that your preference? You didn’t really say.

              Well I did mention why in my previous reply. I used to be on beta for all my apps but I got tired of things sometimes not working and having to update all the time and/or missing features. So now I prefer stable, more feature complete App Store builds. It’s just my preference.

      Of the three I’ve used (Memmy, Mlem, Wefwef), Wefwef is the only one that seems to be able to tell that you’ve read a reply and stops showing it as unread. Unsure why. Very very pleased with Wefwef.

        PWA- progressive web app

        An app that is actually just a webpage that behaves like an app and runs through safari. A TestFlight app is a full regular iOS app but in beta so you install it from the TestFlight app like a different App Store.

        Think when a new call of duty or other video game releases early in beta access. Same idea with TestFlight. Memmy is in TestFlight (I’m using it rn) but is being submitted for normal App Store release now.

      Mlem is great!

      It’s a shame Mlem hasn’t an iPad version. This makes it unusable to me

    Very impressed with wefwef. And somehow it’s the only client I’ve found that has swipe-to-fold-comments. A required feature IMO.

    I’m using wefwef as well and it’s legit a Apollo clone which is awesome! Now just need more people to come over to here and Lemmy will be even better then Reddit since it’s part of the fediverse

      Thanks! I’ve updated it a little just by quickly going through the communities. Also lifted the link to lemmyapps up so users won’t miss it. Let me know if there’s anything I’ve missed!

    Arctic was released on the AppStore and the TestFlight gets weekly updates and it’s really great.

    Memmy, Avelon and Bean seem to have been abandoned.

      It almost seems like the only apps (other than purely web-based ones) that are still being developed for iOS are Arctic, Mlem, Thunder, and Voyager.

      Edit: And Lemma had a pretty big update recently, too. I should include them as well.

      Mostly when it was released or when I noticed it was released. It’s in no particular order

      I’ll try those one first. I’m an Apollo refugee, but I’d prefer to stick with apps that come from the official TestFlight/App Store rather than side-loaded ones. Especially when putting in credentials for a site.

        Definitely give wefwef.app a try, it’s basically an Apollo clone for federated instances and it’s PWA so you don’t need to download any TestFlight betas or sideload ipa’s

    I usually like dedicated apps, but wefwef changed my mind. It’s by far the best PWA I’ve seen so far.
