wefwef is a shameless clone of Apollo. Mimicry is truly the best form of flattery. He copied from one of the best

[–] 2Xtreme21@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I’ve been using Mlem and the latest update seemingly has an Apollo inspiration behind it. I will probably be sticking with it— in fact, it’s now in the place on my home screen where Apollo has sat for 7 years. Really sad to have to do that but Reddit is now effectively dead to me.

Nicely done! 👏

I love Memmy

Wefwef and thunder. Thunder is really fast.

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

[–] thisisdee@lemmy.world 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.

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

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

Wefwef is shockingly usable considering it’s a PWA. Only thing that’s reminding me this isn’t Apollo is the occasional need to tap again before scrolling.

[–] imrichyouknow@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Mlem and Liftoff have been solid

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

I've been pretty happy with Memmy so far.

[–] slin@feddit.de 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.

[–] orangeNgreen@lemmy.world 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.

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

@thisisdee@lemmy.ml, 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.

[–] thisisdee@lemmy.world 2 points 5 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!

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.

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

Helpful. Thank you!

[–] rgr7353@infosec.pub 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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

I'm switching over from android to iOS next week. Can sometime please share an app that I can install via Play Store?
