    Not a native app, but i’m using the wefwef web app, and it’s pretty awesome and getting multiple updates a day.

    It’s a web based clone of Apollo

      Wefwef looks nice and I really want to like it but I keep tapping the back button and getting sent all the way back to my communities list, and therefore losing my spot in the scroll. It’s getting old really fast.

        Me too - it has weird quirks that at this stage may be turning potential users away.

        To be fair though, it’s something that’s been put together very quickly. I think it’s had 2 updates even just in the last 24hrs, to resolve some of these teething problems (and accidentally introducing more). I’m happy to stick with it and be patient; it’s still in beta and would be unreasonable to expect a fully functional product at this point.

        Some frustrations will also be coming from the decentralised nature of Lemmy. I’ve noticed issues with using my lemmy.world account or looking for content on lemmy.world from a different instance, and this isn’t really a fault of wefwef or anyone to be honest (as .world is really struggling with excess load atm). It’s early days, it’s going to be rough, we just need to be patient and mindful.

        It’s a PWA which means you can install it on any phone

            Yeah the biggest problem with web is a general lack predictability with the platform. Different screen sizes, browsers, versions, etc etc. Hard to build for all of those without some concessions but I like the progressive web app approach with wefwef (which I just ‘installed’ and this is rad!)

      Wefwef is now Voyager and has native apps for iOS and android as well as web app (WEP) and yes it’s still the best option imo
