The amount of apps being developed for iOS / Android is getting really crazy now and new apps keep popping up every day. Updated list below:

Most apps on the list are lemmy apps, meaning they don't work with kbin. Artemis is specifically designed to work with kbin, not sure if or when any of the other ones will go in that direction or become interoperable as there are some challenges with the kbin API at the moment. Having said that, a new API is in the works so things should get better with time.

I made a neat table, here u go:

  1. ppl like apps more in general, ppl don't even know how to install PWA most of the time
  2. more of a native feel ye & sometimes they come with many extra features and things that make it more comfy to use on phone
  3. some have gestures like sliding ur finger across the screen to like a post or stuff like that

Ok thanks for #3, I'm interested in knowing about what extra features from #2 there would be.

Easily collapsible comments plus children , UI tweaks , accessibility enhancements, multi account support (with feed grouping) are some possibilities that people enjoyed on Reddit through 3P apps.
