I’ve been pretty happy with Mlem lately.

Mlem looks so clean!
Bean and Voyager
Avelon, Memmy, Bean, Lemmios, Mlem, Thunder
As I play with all these options, I get the feeling there isn’t a clear winner here. They are all pretty good, but they all have similar features. 
Yep, Avelon is the winner right now for me. If there’s no mark as read and hide on scroll I don’t even use them. I bounce to the web ui for the mod tools/reports/applications/messaging.
Hiding read posts is a nice feature. I guess they become unread as soon as there is a new comment? Any other clients have this feature?
I would recommend Thunder. I’ve tried all the clients and it crushes Voyager/Memmy/Bean
Just installed thunder. It does seem pretty cool.
I'm really happy with Arctic so far. It does not make my iPhone burn my hands as other clients had (Avelon, I look at you), and it can read a lot of media, which is really nice. The in-app browser doesn't appear in a card, which is also nice, and does not make the iPhone hot (again, Avelon, can you stop doing that?).
Though it seems that I shit on Avelon quite a bit, that's not the case, it's a decent client, and I really like the URL conversion/error handling it's doing when you open unknown communities and Lemmy links. That's something more for selfhosters when their instance doesn't know specific content, I'm pretty sure big instances are not that much concerned with these kind of errors, and Avelon handles them beautifully.
I've also tested a bunch of other clients too, but generally, either they don't respect the iOS standards that well (hello shitty Electron apps), or they can't read media formats that well.
It also has support for mod tools, which almost none of the others have. Reply been enjoying it so far! Also a big +1 for Avelon and Bean. Looking forward to seeing how they all develop!
Arctic is awesome and buttery smooth!
So, I’ve used Memmy and mlem, but now I’m using voyager and it’s pretty good.
Arctic, Avelon, Mlem
I havent tried anything else than memmy so far. It is okay but lacks some key features both for moderating and editing of posts for some reason.
Memmy was where I started. I’ve replaced it with Voyager and Bean.
Still can’t ditch Memmy even if it’s rather bug ridden. It’s got a smooth scroll, full size photos/links and not thumbnails on the side, and defaults to reader mode in browser. These tick two each but not all 3
Ok, thanks for letting me know! I'll check them out.
If you want something Apollo like, you should try Mlem. It’s pretty close to being on par feature wise.
I used to have all the Apollo clone apps waiting for one to become fully useable. For a while it seemed like they all had complimentary missing features but since Mlem got post editing and messages, I haven’t opened anything else.
I will check that out. Thanks! Just an FYI, Memmy has messaging. Most direly missed features in my book are post editing and mod tools.
