State of current alternatives
There are currently several applications available for iOS to access Lemmy instances. Each of which has its own benefits and drawbacks. I love Voyager (or wefwef as I still like to call it), but even the installed app is I believe just a repackaged PWA. So I’ve been looking at alternatives that vary from PWA to native Swift implementations. The list I’ve checked out so far are.
- Avelon
- Bean
- Mlem
- Memmy
- Voyager / vger.app
I know Lemma is forthcoming, also.
I’m wondering what others current preferences are including values like price, license, governance, and features.
It feels to me like the days before Apollo arose where there were many great Reddit apps, but none that stood head and shoulders above the rest. Does anybody feel there is an app shining to that degree yet as Apollo did once it hit the scene?

Lemma, another Apollo-inspired Lemmy Client
I’m still partial to !bean@lemmy.world. But !lemma@lemmy.world was just released publicly on TestFlight. It’s very Apollo-y.
