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!
Sign up for the Test Flight today before it fills up!
Cool, made it in and am posting from the app 🔥
Def my favorite so far.
Wefwef is the closest thing to Apollo I’ve experienced so far https://wefwef.app/settings/install
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.
it might be the closest from an ui/ux point of view but it still has a lot of issues with posts, messages, commentaries not loading.
But it is one to keep an eye on, I’ll give it that.
Top Tip for anyone reading: Definitely “install” it to your home screen; it makes the gestures work so much better.
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.
I’m trying a few apps, as well as MIam, but the one thing I miss from all of them is the Apollo condensed mode, a la old Reddit, but smarter. I think the first that scratches that itch will keep me as a customer.

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 love you guys this app makes the experience so much better
I can’t log in, it keeps saying: Mlem couldn’t fetch you account’s information. File a bug report.
I’m getting the exact same error.
Are you logging in with your username and not your email?
also 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
I am using the app and it has been a great experience. Thanks @darknavi and team!
Lemmy.world, I also try with kbin and fedia .io with the same problem
Commenting from the app! This is fantastic!

You are most likely logging in with your email instead of your username. Had the same thing happen to me.

For anybody curious, here is a Memmy issue about it https://github.com/gkasdorf/memmy/issues/168
Different app, same root cause.
Makes me feel better that I’m not the only one who had this oversight 😅
It proves that it’s more of a weird API design on lemmy’s end than anything else.
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?
Any idea when the official launch will be? I know Testflight is pretty easy to set up, but I’ll probably wait till I can get v 1.0.
I’m liking it so far. Looking forward to adding more customization and appearance settings
I’m having trouble connecting with my Kbin account. Is this compatible with kbin?
