This is a great app that I have been using through the rapid beta. If you were too late to get a beta slot, you can now get it from the App Store. Be sure to give it a great review if you like it!

This app is amazing and the development has been so rapid, I can’t imagine how it is going to be in 30 days!

Memmy has been my go-to client for the last few weeks. It feels the most like Apollo, which is what I was going for when searching for a mobile client. There was some buzz a while ago about the Lemon app, but that developer seems to have just vanished with no word on any progress. I'm not locking myself into any app for now, I still want to see who can deliver the best quality this early on, but Memmy has been winning so far.
- I love Memmy. Wefwef is good but Memmy feels so much more polished and nice. Plus I love the sunset theme as a nod to Apollo
  
  Just loaded up Memmy and enjoying the sunset theme as well. I’m impressed so far.
- Memmy is my go-to as well. I’m gonna be waiting a few months and then trying out other clients to see how they’ve matured, and seeing if there’s any others I like more than Memmy.
  As for the Lemon app, I may be misremembering things but I’m quite certain that they merged with another Lemmy client called Limbo and formed Liftoff for Lemmy.

Trying it out right now! So far looks great!
- I forgot I wasn't using Apollo haha. Super solid Reddit replacement.

Pretty cool. It’s great to see so many clients on the market.
One minor feature I wish every iOS client had is better password manager integration. Normally on login forms, the app can provide a hint to the OS of what domain you’re logging in to; then when you click the password box, the password manager can suggest to autocomplete that domain’s password. Currently every time I set up a new app, I have to type programming.dev twice. Once in the “which lemmy instance are you connecting to” box and once in LastPass’s search bar. It’s. A minor inconvenience, but I wonder if clients could pass along the lemmy URL to the password manager after I’ve typed it the first time.
- I don’t think they can, as is. The app itself has the url imbedded into it. The only way they could get it to work is by authenticating from a web page that indicates where it is.
- Bitwarden for iOS is not detecting the username or password fields as credential fields. I believe the developer would need to implement Passsword AutoFill
  
  Bitwarden detected the username field for me on iOS on my 13 Pro.
  
  Didn’t auto detect the domain / app obviously but had no issue with filling fields with keeper after searching. Even put the 2FA code into the paste buffer for me.

Just installed it. I can’t figure out how to upvote comments?
- Swipe to the right. Swipe left to reply.
  
  Thank you! That worked.
- Slide?
  
  I always thought it was swipe, but slide makes more sense now that I think about it.

For UK users, I had to search for lemmy and scroll to find the app. It wouldn’t show up searching for mommy
- "memmy for lemmy" worked for me
- Memmy* lol

Kudos to the team they really made the reddit to lemmy transition a good experience with this app.

Very nice app! I only just joined the fediverse and was disappointed at there being no iOS apps. This one seems amazing so far!
- There’s many good apps.
  There’s
  Memmy Wefwef Mlem Liftoff Thunder / liftoff
  And soon to come lemon
  I think there’s others but those are the ones I remember off the top of my head.
  
  Wefwef seems to be Apollo reincarnated so there goes my vote
  
  are those not available at app store?
- i had same issue, I'm gonna try this app now

I’m currently very happy with wefwef but looking forward to giving this a try!

holy cow! it’s happening!!!

I’ve been using the beta version for a couple of weeks and it’s pretty solid. There are some features I miss from Apollo when I was on Reddit, but I’m hopeful they are coming.
- Its still early development and updates seem to get put out pretty quick, so I imagine a lot more quality of life stuff will get added now that it’s actually on the appstore

This is huge for the adoption of lemmy! Thanks so much. Using it now!

Very impressed with memmy, we are so spoiled for choice with wefwef, memmy, and mlem!

As a leftie who’s been on the beta, I sincerely appreciate the upvote / downvote arrows being on the left!!

This app is an absolute banger! Keep up the great work♥️

i already have memmy issues
(i’ll see myself out now)

Reminder.
If you enjoy Memmy please leave a positive review in the App Store.
- I am loving it! It brought me here and I am so happy to have a new place to hang out. Definitely giving it a 5 star rating! It feels a lot like Apollo which I love
- #31 in App Store. That means Lemmy is going places. Holy shit! (and as I understand, this comment would be fully harvestable by admins)
  
  Awe, I believed for you a sec.

Giving this a try! Have been using wefwef and pretty happy with it. This looks promising though!

The App Store is lame, wtf is this first search result.
- Download the app and give it a 5 star rating…App Store will give it proper placement once there is some data to show it’s what people are looking for.
  
  Done!
- Looks like an ad but yeah fuck ads in app stores

Pretty solid app, I’m done searching for alternatives and stopped using the web app. 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Is this the same as Mlem?
- Mlem is a different app. Both are good, but only Memmy is currently released into the App Store.
  https://lemmy.ml/c/mlemapp
  
  I'm already using Mlem and I'm not interested in trying out the other application yet.

Amazing work team! This will definitely help me and I would think a lot of users who are migrating across from Reddit. One minor thing; I can’t seem to get my profile tab to load at the moment but I figure there’s still a few bugs that need ironing out!
- My profile is working on beta and App Store version. Maybe a server issue or maybe you just need to restart all.

Do we stay on test flight or move over?
- Depends on if you want to continue to help test future updates, or stick to stable builds.
  
  Happy to keep testing I guess.
- Move over. Usually TestFlight will stop getting updates when the App Store version is out.
  
  Nope. The developer still says that it will be used for beta testing.

Is this app still planning to release on Android at some point?

looks good on m1 Mac ❤️

This app is just great. I’ve been a user basically from day one, and I’ve seen it improve exponentially, for real. At this point, I’m just tuning on the communities to get the content I want, but experience-wise I don’t miss Apollo, which is saying a lot about the state of Memmy.

I’ve been using wefwef the past week and just installed Memmy today. ww is great, but I’m really enjoying Memmy so far.
- I can’t tell which one I like better wbu?

Should we stop using the testflight version then?
- Test Fight has more recent updates but by using the App Store version you can support Memmy by increasing it's placement on charts and by leaving a review.

This is awesome! I’m so glad this came out so quickly, I didn’t expect it so soon. Big thanks to the dev team, all of us refugees really appreciate you and your hard work!! It’s so nice to have a place to call home now :)

What i am seeing in the app on the front page/all is not matching what i am seeing on this website...any ideas?
EDIT - app was on Hot, website on Active. We gucci fam!

Now THIS is what we need to see!
Now we have a UX option (and a good one at that!)

So glad it finally got accepted!

Got it installed, followed a couple communities. Biggest wish for me is that it showed how many subscribers or whatever that a community has. It’s annoying finding the biggest/most active ones.
- No app or site is feature complete right now. I recommend also using wefwef.app and using the site. You can install the site the same way you install wefwef. On your phone, go to landscape with the website to expose all the features and locate ranked communities that way.

It's pretty good, I am having a bit of a tough time adding a body to a post, I wish making a text post was as simple as writing a comment!
Feels pretty zippy, nice to have everything in one place.
Is there a place in the app to submit feedback?
Edit: ah it looks like the "back" button is how you save the body of the post, I kept pulling the page down to dismiss the popover and it would erase my body, maybe we change the title from "back" to "save"?
- If you go to profile -> settings -> email debug log you can outbound suggestions from the app.
  You can also visit the Memmy community to interact with the developer, and other enthusiasts.

Do we just keep getting the betas in perpetuity if we got in on the beta?

Amazing! Memmy is great. It just needs some fun alternate icons now!

Just downloaded it, IT'S AWESOME

Best Lemmy mobile app so far, just need admin and mod features added and I won’t need to open Safari anymore for Lemmy 😆

Wow I’m loving it so far! Although why is the “oled” theme inverse? The table cells are black and the background is grey, that’s awful for legibility. Every other iOS app has black background with grey table cells
- Try restarting the app after making the change.

It’s so damn good!!

Great! I’ve been enjoying the beta and just downloaded the app on the app store.

Been using this app via test flight for a couple weeks. Really impressed with the pace of development.

I’m liking it a lot but I really hope the dev adds 6 and 12 hour sort.
- Already in the current beta

I am really shocked in how good and yet simple this app is. wonderful!

well done; the app is quite smooth and seems to have apollo-overtones - kudos!

i just discovered it when looking for native app lol

Wow. I’m seriously impressed with the functionality already in this app. This just made my lemmy browsing so much better.

Writing this post from Memmy, couldn’t even get to try mlem but this App sure looks promising!

Downloading now. Been waiting for an ios app.
- @Docus @richie510 same here! 🐭

Between this and wefwef.app Lemmy has become pretty much a better user experience than Reddit.
The only thing missing is the content. Hopefully with more adoption we see Lemmy grow enough to be able to replace Reddit entirely.
- @Qiz @richie510 i still miss the simplicity of opening Reddit and switching between subscribed and All and knowing i was seeing the top posts. Lemmy is still a bit confusing with the home/federated/local pages and all the instances. But it's getting there

I’m not able to upvote comments through the app, but it works fine with wefwef- anyone else having the same issue? Can still up upvote posts, just not the replies. iOS 16
- Oh nvm I’ve found the answer, I’ll read the comments first next time!
