Many of the iOS ones are wrappers for some kind of web view, so they’re missing smaller details like native views.
Voyager for example never felt better installed than it did a PWA, and it would get itself into some weird states. I had issues with the text editing not feeling right.
I tried Memmy and it’s pretty good, but kind of buggy (for example the match system theme setting doesn’t work for me and it wouldn’t jump to the correct message in long threads when clicking a reply in my inbox).
I’ve been trying Avalont which is the best so far, does feel better being a native app, but the scroll component on the comment text box is very buggy, and refreshing my inbox doesn’t use the native pull to refresh action so it only works after I scroll down and up again.
Sync benefits from being many years old, so everything works really well and it’s very full featured.
The one feature no iOS app does: different settings for different accounts or communities.
Edit: I do appreciate the effort on all the new lemmy apps, I know they’re a lot of work and most of the devs aren’t getting paid.
Mlem! Yea, native experience is one of top reasons I use/contribute to Mlem (beta is full I think, so you’ll have to try the App Store version)🥲
I love Avelon’s in-line media viewer for sure. I have like 10+ lemmy apps, and all of us have strengths and areas that need work…it’s like 2009 all over again :) I did use Voyager (wefwef) and Memmy for a bit too :p
Also, what about Sync is better? Am curious cuz I’m contributing to an open source Lemmy app on iOS right now 😏🙈
Which one, I’ll try it out!

Just downloaded it, it feels good to use (best I’ve tried for iOS yet)
