Will there be an iOS app for Lemmy?

Looking for something to fill the soon-to-be gaping hole that will be left in the absence of Apollo.

Been using Memmy and it’s very nice. The dev just added themes this morning (heavily under work) and he’s very responsive to bug reports. As others said you’ll need TestFlight to try it out. Cheers!
There are two candidates called mlem and memmy, which are currently available through TestFlight .
- Neither of these are currently available on TestFlight. The links to sign up are broken.
- And it sounds like Mlem is going dark... https://midwest.social/post/782867
  
  There are between 10 and 20 people actively working on the app in various capacities, there was an update on team structure couple of days ago - https://lemmy.ml/post/1372165 It is the original dev who is stepping down and who says he wasn’t actively involved with development for a while.
  
  The original author quit, but he said he handed over everything to other devs. So no need (yet) to state stuff like "going dark".
  
  Sounds like the app is just transferring ownership and might rebrand.
  
  Hope the developer is ok, sounds like this is weighing heavily on them.
- Memmy is updated almost daily at this point, the App has come a long way just this week even
  
  Memmy is my favorite of them all so far. Gestures are too good to lose after being an Apollohead. Dev has been killing it with updates too.
Mlem. Memmy. Lemon. Limbo.

I’m using limbo more to than other lately. But I use them all.
Memmy, Mlem and Limbo for Lemmy are all nice!
Check out wefwef. It’s really great! https://wefwef.app/
- How’s it compare feature wise to Memmy?
  
  It feels a lot more polished than Memmy and Mlem to me. Which is impressive since it’s a web app.
I’ve been using Memmy for over a week now, and the amount of development in that time is insane! It’s progressing so fast, and I don’t even feel the need to use the web version of Lemmy anymore.
I’m currently using Memmy and it’s pretty good for how early in development it is.

There’s also another app called Artemis that’s in development that’s heavily inspired by Apollo. Still in alpha and they not yet open for testing.
Mlem is very good. I’m running both Mlem and Memmy but keep going back to Mlem at the moment.
Here's a list of apps https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/71764
Your handle seems very familiar. I think we may have crossed paths before on reddit?

I agree, Apollo's absence will leave a gaping hole.
- Odd. I haven’t used it on Reddit before.
  
  I must have you confused with someone else. Thanks for replying.
There are 3-4 active ones, I prefer Mlem so far.
- Any way to get an invite to it? Link seems to be down.
  
  I got the testflight link here: https://lemmy.world/c/mlemapp@lemmy.ml
https://wefwef.app

Install to your home screen
- Thanks, I figured it out!
I’m using liftoff! right now, and it seems pretty polished. Looking forward to it being out of TestFlight.
- Any thoughts on it be Memmy?
  
  I think I tried to get into that one, but the Test flight was full. There are plenty out there (I’m typing this with wefwef), but I think Liftoff is still my favorite.
thunder came out on test flight today as well
take a look at this https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1m_MWfu72TQWiCV5aEH_Kb9PCFcqlRQK5a0yWl-XUjZI/htmlview#gid=0
You’ll need TestFlight, but I would recommend Memmy. I have on several occasions been using it and forgotten that I wasn’t on reddit
- Biggest problem I have with Memmy so far is the lack of a collapse animation. That said, I think Mlem has a design I like better.
