Hey all! Just wanted to shout out the app we are working on for Lemmy on iOS. We love Apollo and took lots of inspiration from it, but also have a lot of our own twists on the experience (Federation has it's own twists on top of a single website!).

We are actively pushing updates a few times a week right now and building up a solid foundation if "1.0" features to submit to the app store in the coming weeks/months.

Personally it's be a great excuse to learn Swift, SwiftUI and iOS development in general. What a blast!

Sign up for the Test Flight today before it fills up!

Wefwef is the closest thing to Apollo I’ve experienced so far https://wefwef.app/settings/install

Got a link for the TestFlight?

[–] KillaBeez@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It’s a web app. Just follow the instructions to put it on your home screen and launch it from there.

Second this! Shocking how similar it feels despite being a web app.

[–] Demigod787@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yup, this is Apollo carbon copy alright. And I LOVE IT. I was honestly worries since my experience with webapps was less than stellar for a while, they're trash at best. But this is surprisingly fluid and feels close to a native app. I've both Mlem app and this, and so far this has HEAPS more features backed in and the only advantage Mlem has over it is that it is an app.

it might be the closest from an ui/ux point of view but it still has a lot of issues with posts, messages, commentaries not loading.

But it is one to keep an eye on, I'll give it that.

I have no idea what to do to get that app

[–] lucasban@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

First you need to download the TestFlight app from the App Store if you don’t already have it. Then, on the GitHub page, click the link that says “click here and join the group”. After that you will be able to install the app from TestFlight. Later, they will have a stable release in the App Store, and you should be able to switch over to that then, if you like.

I love you guys this app makes the experience so much better

[–] avater@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

also has a lot of issues but it is looking good. Still using memmy which has the best functionality and less issues so far, but it definitely can improve on its ui design and borrow a thing or two from lemmy

[–] Meowmoth@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can’t log in, it keeps saying: Mlem couldn't fetch you account's information. File a bug report.

[–] hexual@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm getting the exact same error.

[–] DoakSteezy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Are you logging in with your username and not your email?

[–] morph3ous@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I am using the app and it has been a great experience. Thanks @darknavi and team!

[–] comedy@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I’m having trouble connecting with my Kbin account. Is this compatible with kbin?

[–] Clareifi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

This is… Noice! 👏🏽 Well done!

[–] redsol2@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Commenting from the app! This is fantastic!

[–] annabanana@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I’m liking the app so far!

[–] Meowmoth@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Lemmy.world, I also try with kbin and fedia .io with the same problem

[–] gabo2007@vlemmy.net 1 points 1 year ago

Any idea when the official launch will be? I know Testflight is pretty easy to set up, but I'll probably wait till I can get v 1.0.

[–] BaselT95@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I’m liking it so far. Looking forward to adding more customization and appearance settings

[–] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 year ago

It’s actually a very solid app. Haven’t had any issues with it. Obviously it’s missing some things, but the stuff already there is working.

I am wondering if you are going to streamline the signup process like they do on the official Mastodon app?
