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!
Def my favorite so far.
Wefwef is the closest thing to Apollo I’ve experienced so far https://wefwef.app/settings/install
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.
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 taking: Definitely “install” it to your home screen; it makes the gestures work so much better.
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.

It seems a little buggy, but my guess would be that it is just getting hit hard with activity.
I’d also recommend giving Memmy a try:
I have no idea what to do to get that app
Posting from memmy right now and it’s pretty damn good. Even got some good themes.

Welcome!
Posting is particularly rough around the edges but generally functional!
I’m having trouble connecting with my Kbin account. Is this compatible with kbin?
Me too, I haven’t been able to login to Kbin with any of these apps so far.
None of the “Lemmy” apps will work with kbin, at least for now. Kbin does not have apis available for devs yet.
The only kbin app I’m aware of is Artemis, which is in closed beta, is doing some form of scraping instead of using apis.
That interesting, thanks for sharing. I signed up for the Artemis testing, let’s see how it goes.
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
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 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?
Lemmy.world, I also try with kbin and fedia .io with the same problem
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.

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.
I’m liking the app so far!
