Mlem is Great! But what really surprised me is wefwef, hands down the best PWA I’ve ever seen

    wefwef is seriously one of the best PWA I’ve ever seen. I’m interested in trying out mlem once it goes live on the App Store

    Why do you want to wait for the App Store version? FlightTest is made by apple, no jailbreak, no illegal things. It’s a separate App Store where you need an invite link to access an app. And here is the Link

    You’re right, I don’t have a good reason not to use it other than preference. I used to be on beta for everything when I was on Android and when I switched to iOS I decided not to.

    So why is that your preference? You didn’t really say.

    Well I did mention why in my previous reply. I used to be on beta for all my apps but I got tired of things sometimes not working and having to update all the time and/or missing features. So now I prefer stable, more feature complete App Store builds. It’s just my preference.

    Sorry Dumb question but what’s a PWA vs TestFlight?

    PWA- progressive web app

    An app that is actually just a webpage that behaves like an app and runs through safari. A TestFlight app is a full regular iOS app but in beta so you install it from the TestFlight app like a different App Store.

    Think when a new call of duty or other video game releases early in beta access. Same idea with TestFlight. Memmy is in TestFlight (I’m using it rn) but is being submitted for normal App Store release now.

    Mlem is great!

    It’s a shame Mlem doesn’t have an iPad version. This makes it unusable to me

    wefwef is actually crazy good for a web app. feels as close as we’ll ever get to having Apollo for Lemmy

    I'm using wefwef as well and it's legit a Apollo clone which is awesome! Now just need more people to come over to here and Lemmy will be even better then Reddit since it's part of the fediverse

    @thisisdee@lemmy.ml, this stickied post could probably use some love, or you might just want to remove the sticky pin. Some of these Apps no longer exist. Example: Memmy.

    Arctic was released on the AppStore and the TestFlight gets weekly updates and it’s really great.

    Memmy, Avelon and Bean seem to have been abandoned.

    It almost seems like the only apps (other than purely web-based ones) that are still being developed for iOS are Arctic, Mlem, Thunder, and Voyager.

    Edit: And Lemma had a pretty big update recently, too. I should include them as well.

    Using wefwef right now, feels pretty good and not a change from Apollo. Looking forward to see its progress

    Wefwef is shockingly usable considering it’s a PWA. Only thing that’s reminding me this isn’t Apollo is the occasional need to tap again before scrolling.

    I personally use Lemma. Great app, still in TestFlight but very promising

    I'm switching over from android to iOS next week. Can sometime please share an app that I can install via Play Store?
