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!

Welcome!
Posting is particularly rough around the edges but generally functional!
Def my favorite so far.
Wefwef is the closest thing to Apollo I’ve experienced so far https://wefwef.app/settings/install
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.
Should I be concerned that I can’t reach this webapp?
It seems a little buggy, but my guess would be that it is just getting hit hard with activity.
Top Tip for anyone taking: Definitely “install” it to your home screen; it makes the gestures work so much better.
Second this! Shocking how similar it feels despite being a web app.
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.
I’d also recommend giving Memmy a try:
I have no idea what to do to get that app
First you need to download the TestFlight app from the App Store if you don’t already have it. Then, on the GitHub page, click the link that says “click here and join the group”. After that you will be able to install the app from TestFlight. Later, they will have a stable release in the App Store, and you should be able to switch over to that then, if you like.
I am using the app and it has been a great experience. Thanks @darknavi and team!
I love you guys this app makes the experience so much better
Commenting from the app! This is fantastic!
This is… Noice! 👏🏽 Well done!
This looks quite good! I’ve tried a few others so far and this looked ahead of the others
Neat! Feels like a smoother experience already ❤️
It’s actually a very solid app. Haven’t had any issues with it. Obviously it’s missing some things, but the stuff already there is working.
I am wondering if you are going to streamline the signup process like they do on the official Mastodon app?
slemmy has a lot of issues but it is looking good.
Still using memmy which has the best functionality and less issues so far, but it definitely can improve on its ui design and borrow a thing or two from lemmy
