Memmy seems like a solid choice, very active development. It has been offered to Apple review last week and should appear in the appstore soon.

I second Memmy. Iβve tried the others available currently, including wefwef and Memmy is my favorite. wefwef is second, but an actual native app still feels better imo.
Agreed. I love wef wef but still has some weirdness being a web app. Memmy is my favorite installed app.

Another Memmy user here - if youβre a fan of Apollo Memmy is the perfect substitute!

No Android build yet? Also, this is a different app than Mlemmy - right?

Not a native app, but iβm using the wefwef web app, and itβs pretty awesome and getting multiple updates a day.
Itβs a web based clone of Apollo
Wefwef looks nice and I really want to like it but I keep tapping the back button and getting sent all the way back to my communities list, and therefore losing my spot in the scroll. It's getting old really fast.
PWA always have a ton of UI quirks that make them hard to use. Itβs a cool idea and I wish they would take off but they just arenβt there and Iβm not sure wefwef will be able to overcome that, as good as it looks.
Me too - it has weird quirks that at this stage may be turning potential users away.
To be fair though, it's something that's been put together very quickly. I think it's had 2 updates even just in the last 24hrs, to resolve some of these teething problems (and accidentally introducing more). I'm happy to stick with it and be patient; it's still in beta and would be unreasonable to expect a fully functional product at this point.
Some frustrations will also be coming from the decentralised nature of Lemmy. I've noticed issues with using my lemmy.world account or looking for content on lemmy.world from a different instance, and this isn't really a fault of wefwef or anyone to be honest (as .world is really struggling with excess load atm). It's early days, it's going to be rough, we just need to be patient and mindful.

I second wefwef. Incredible app, very close to Apollo.
Any plans to make it an iOS app that you know of?
Memmy is great too!
It's a PWA which means you can install it on any phone

+1 for Liftoff

for Android I think Connect for Lemmy is the best around. also, it gets literally better day to day since the dev is following the app's community and fixes bugs, implements things from there super rapidly.
By far the best interface on android so far. Looking forward to Sync for Lemmy and Boost for Lemmy as well.

Using it right now. Very nice interface, especially comment field
I love the formatting tools
that are placed at the bottom
And enable easy text fancification
I agree. So far it's the best one I've used on Android. It has things like settings for font sizes.
UPDATE: I find myself using Liftoff more now. I couldn't exactly tell you why. The only things it's missing is an option to make the comment font larger.

Sync for Lemmy (android)
I've been using Sync for a couple of hours and already uninstalled Liftoff and Connect hahaha. Don't get me wrong they're both great, but Sync is that much better
Same, already paid for year's subscription too. I used Sync for reddit and trust the developer to make a quality app.
It's unbelievably polished for a first release. Not 100% feature complete mind you, but it's mind blowing the dev pull this off.
It inherits all the lessons learned with Sync for Reddit until it died.

For me personally, Jerboa is the best Android Lemmy app that I've tried, and I have tried several of them. I'll just be glad when Sync for Lemmy is released.

I kinda like jerboa because it reminds me a bit of Sync. The dev for sync is actually making a Lemmy app though, so I'll probably switch to that one when it comes out.

Well the app is currently in the earlier phases of development but i think more people should know that there is currently an attempt at porting slide for reddit to lemmy. here is the releases from the repository https://github.com/bqv/slide/releases, but its very early in development

Android user here. Liftoff is unmatched in terms of its visual presentation.
I love the look of Liftoff. I just wish it had the functionality of Connect.

Been using Liftoff and I'm enjoying it so far, after using/trying Thunder, Jerboa, Wefwef, lemmotif
Also really liking liftoff. Tried a bunch of others and it honestly just works so much better than the others. Waiting for boost for lemmy though.

A bit biased since I am the creator, but using Lemmios has been pretty sweet!

for me liftoff is the least buggy and runs smoother than thunder or jerboa

Loves me some Boost. Boost is the moost.
For Android I'm finding Liftoff to be the best comparison to RIF so far.
However, I I am waiting to check out Boost. But for now, I've stopped using the other 2 big ones (Connect and Jerboa) altogether in favor of Liftoff.
For me Summit.
I have tried all of the ones on Android.
Wefwef / Voyager is extremely impressive for what it is - webapp
However it and all of the other android apps glitch a lot. I'm on a pixel 7 pro so it's not a legacy hardware issue either
Sync is by far the best app by a large margin. Everything has a high degree of polish. UX design is perfect, though I may be biased since I've been using it for reddit for the past decade.
Sync only has ads on the post pages, may be once every 10-15 posts. No ads on the comment page. Honestly it's got the little Google ads that are not a big deal at all
If you'd like you can remove ads for $10 but honestly it's not a big enough issue at all

Butting in again to complain that most apps STILL auto-load images in comments with no way to disable it.
A travesty.
I want to move away from voyager, I really do. But I can't as long because I just know someone will post that 720x38900px tall zelda fanart and ruin a whole thread. Or goatse.

Not out yet, but the (IMO) unquestionably best Reddit app, Boost, is currently being ported to Lemmy - follow here for updates: https://lemmy.world/c/boostforlemmy
