Nicely done! πŸ‘

Olympus for Lemmy also has a TestFlight beta (works currently only for iOS 17 Dev Beta)

There are some more apps announced (Artemis, Beyond)

You can check it out here in the iOS section

Thank you! I wasn't aware there's already a post for this. I'll add this link to the post.

It’s not ios specific but I’m using wefwef and it’s great.

Def going to DL tonight- does anyone know if it works well on ipad?

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

Works well enough. Pretty much a wider version of the app (I use my iPad in landscape) so it's not using the space optimally, but I can't fault the apps especially since they're all new and focused on iPhones first.

I love Memmy

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

A lot of these logos for lemmy apps should steer clear of animal based logos imho, feel like it won’t be as compatible with mainstream.

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

Helpful. Thank you!

Mlem has really come along the last few weeks β€” looks nice now. And definitely more of an Apollo vibe. I checked out of it (and left the TestFlight) once the dev announced it was abandoned but it’s clearly back now.

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

And I’m back to using it now since Memmy doesn’t support post deletions yet and a Lemmy server hiccup resulted in a double post. Solid app now

Not able to connect to wefwef today. Says safari cannot establish a secure connection. Not sure if anyone else seeing this. On mobile.

Mlem and Liftoff have been solid

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

I've been pretty happy with Memmy so far.

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

Memmy's out now!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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.

@[email protected], 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Thanks! I've updated it a little just by quickly going through the communities. Also lifted the link to lemmyapps up so users won't miss it. Let me know if there's anything I've missed!

Why does Olympus require iOS 17 or newer?
