On iOS I’m very happy with Memmy, I was on Apollo before and it feels similar design-wise.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I’m on vger.app, which also feels a lot like Apollo. But Memmy is great too!

I’m getting a really weird bug with memmy. Whenever I bring the app back into the foreground I have the colour briefly flash from light mode back to dark mode. Ug.

[–] Immersive_Matthew 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That is odd. I think there is a Memmy community to report such things. I am on an iPhone 14 Pro and have no such bug so I am assuming this is a device specific thing?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Maybe. I’m on an iPhone 12 mini.

I did scroll the most recent comments in the App Store and see someone say the same. So hopefully it’s on their radar. I don’t see anywhere to report bugs other than GitHub.

iPhone XS Max here, same issue… It appears to be an issue with the automatic switch with OS, as without auto switch on I don’t experience it.

Seems to be a know bug and fixed I the latest test flight version. Was just chatting with them on Discord. They posted this this

My favorite right now is Mlem, it’s similar to Memmy but works better in my experience

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Posted this from Mlem.

I’m a former Apollo user and the inspiration is obvious in Mlem

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Mlem is my favorite too but they have a long way to go to catch up to Memmy for most of the functionality. It feels very solid compared to Memmy, though.

If you're on Android, I recommend Liftoff. Boost for Lemmy is also probably going to be pretty good when it releases, as the developer's Reddit app was phenomenal.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I just installed LiftOff as I was using the web PWA on my phone and it's a much nicer experience.

I'm waiting for the Sync app though, Reddit Sync was perfect for me!

[–] EdherJr 10 points 1 year ago

Try Connect for lemmy if you're on android

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty happy with Jerboa on Android, although as a long time Boost fan I'm excited see their app for lemmy release

[–] ruckblack 9 points 1 year ago

Was using Jerboa, I like Liftoff better. But I'll be moving to Lemmy Sync as soon as that's available.

Yeah why did this get promoted suddenly?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

seems there is a bug

[–] platypode 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you're on iOS, Mlem for Lemmy is afaik the only one written in Apple's native SwiftUI. Its IMO the one that integrates most smoothly with the feel of the platform and has the most potential, since it's written natively instead of in a cross-platform framework.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Try vger.app as a web app

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

liftoff... wait, this post is two years old, nvm.

[–] notasandwich1948 3 points 1 year ago

liftoff works best for me

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

On iOS Bean is in beta and working pretty well. There’s also Voyager that is a web app but you would never know it. Essentially a clone of Apollo.

[–] sentient_loom 1 points 1 year ago

I like Connect and Jerboa.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Nothing beats thunder for me on Android ATM, but there's a lot of apps out there
