Tried a bunch of the ios apps and settled into Voyager. Good UI / UX and functionality, active developer, and open source. No real complaints so far.

Voyager is Apollo for Lemmy. If you’re a Reddit refuge that used Apollo before the API mess, it’s literally identical because the dev open sourced the code.
Typing this message from Voyager
If you are using iOS then there is really only one place to get them- the App Store.
I've used both Memmy and Mlem and both are decent apps.
You should try out Voyager too to add to your list.
I tried both of those but Voyager had a lot of features the other two were missing. Can’t remember specifically what was missing now that I’ve been using this for a few months, but it’s a very similar experience.
Thank you I will check both out I will also also use it on the web/ pc
mlem & voyager for ios on the app store are great for lemmy
Thank you I will try them both than choose one 👍
My favorite iOS app so far is Arctic.
Wasn’t Memmy discontinued?
It hasn't been updated in ages, so maybe. It does still work well for now at least.
I use Mlem. It’s pretty good. My only complaints are that it doesn’t do Spoilers. I don’t know if other clients do this too, but Mlem doesn’t do push notifications either from what I can tell, which I like
Spoilers are hit or miss, I think. Half the time, I don't even see people using the tag correctly (e.g. missing the closing portion, putting the spoiler in the warning part, etc.), so I dunno if it's user error or app developers not implementing it correctly. It definitely doesn't render on Boost for Lemmy.
I use Thunder, and it's on both iOS and Android, and it has poll notifications, at least on Android, every 15 minutes. It checks to see if there's anything new, and we'll tell you. Obviously, if you don't want notifications at all, you can disable that.
