We have Memmy which is pretty damn close.

[-] We1chy@lemm.ee 43 points 2 years ago

Don’t forget voyager, it’s pretty much identical.

[-] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 2 years ago

Mehhhhh. I know it’s a PWA but I’d still rather a native app.

[-] We1chy@lemm.ee 24 points 2 years ago

If you’re on iOS there’s a native app in beta on TestFlight. https://testflight.apple.com/join/nWLw1MBM

[-] Arn_Thor@feddit.uk 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Thank you! First impression of that app is really good.

Edit after a day’s use: it really scratches that itch. Smooth scrolling, looks great

[-] _finger_@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

No themes kills it for me. I hate dark black themes

Team Memmy. It’s freaking great. And the amount of updates they post to the test channel. Fantastic. It’s nice logging in once a day and seeing some cool functionality pushed out.

[-] RojoSanIchiban@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Was gonna say, Memmy may as well be an Apollo fork from a couple years ago.

[-] Nurgle@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Voyager is “cleaner” looking, but Memmy is a native app which prob trumps that. That little rando freeze on voyager gets annoying after awhile

[-] exoplanetary@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Voyager is getting an iOS native version. There’s a TestFlight version out right now, it’s really neat. Definitely scratches that Apollo itch.

[-] punseye@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Is it truly native build with Swift? Or is it repackaged pwa?

[-] sgriff@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It’s a repackaged PWA using a web view for everything, using capacitor i believe

[-] greendakota99@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Agreed! Sadly, I have seen it reported that the actual app version has the random freeze as well. Hopefully that’s able to be resolved now that its an app.

[-] esty@lemmy.ca 56 points 2 years ago

voyager is basically apollo already tbh

[-] margaritox@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Doesn’t look like it’s available in the app store

[-] esty@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 years ago

https://vger.app it’s a web app, there is an iOS TestFlight build that fixes a few of the bugs that running in safari introduces (and it has haptics!)

[-] w2tpmf@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago

Lemmy.world has a voyager instance right on their server. https://m.lemmy.world

Voyager is the apollo replacement, it rocks!

[-] victron@lemm.ee 17 points 2 years ago

It's awesome, I used it for a while. But I like native apps more. Also, does it have notifications? I don't remember ever getting one.

[-] freemicycle@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

Voyager has an app in TestFlight right now. Not sure what you consider native, but it uses the ionic framework. I stopped using the PWA on iOS due to a scrolling bug that couldn’t be fixed by the voyager dev. The ionic version seems to working well so far though!

[-] botorfj@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

i heard it was submitted to play store too

Honestly, it would be an amazingly trojan-horse way to drive reddit users to Lemmy. Leave Sync for Reddit up, and then just have it be a redirect to Lemmy under the hood, maybe even use the API to "migrate" people over - if only for copying their username and some basic data.

[-] Ducks@ducks.dev 17 points 2 years ago

Reddit would go after apps having Reddit in the name.

[-] thantik@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

That was kind of the issue to begin with. That's why it's "For Reddit". Google even had this stupid naming scheme because "Reddit Is Fun" existed at the time, and they even had to change to "RiF For Reddit". The "For Reddit" part already mitigates that worry - as I understand, that was the entire point of Google enforcing that policy to begin with.

And honestly I'm just kind of being wishy about it. I'd have loved to see all of the Reddit apps basically Trojan horse their users into Lemmy rather than simply shut down. We can dream can't we? :P

Honestly, I don't know if half the ultra casual users would even notice.

RIF users too, talklittle made an app for tildes but blegg.

[-] TotallyHankScorpio@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

Man, do I miss Apollo.....at least I can use Sync on my galaxy tablet

[-] PuddingFeeling907@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Christian released a beans wallpaper so maybe Apollo for lemmy is coming?

[-] heyoni@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

Beans….lemmy…what’s the connection??

[-] PuddingFeeling907@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

There was a post where a people just upvoted a can of beans

[-] heyoni@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It would make so much sense…for Apollo to just handle Lemmy

[-] greendakota99@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I’ve actually figured it out.

Reddit.API replace with Lemmy.API. We’re in!

[-] heyoni@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

lol we’re one regex away from going back to peak iOS app support!

[-] nachom97@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I still forget and open the app every now and then. Memmy is really close, im very happy with it.

[-] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 10 points 2 years ago

Hey don't have to tell me, my last app was Joey. Liftoff is doing pretty well for me though.

[-] kernelle@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

I actually got my sync to look like a better version of Baconreader, needless to say I'm pretty happy!

[-] JehovasThickness@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Cries in Boost

[-] dango@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago
[-] NatoBoram@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

I couldn't find the API for Kbin, so that's unlikely to happen soon

[-] Stovetop@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

As I understand it, the API is still in progress. Planned eventually but the service itself is still somewhat a beta.

[-] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I heard something about the API coming out in the next month or so.

There’s Beans, another client that’s trying to do the whole ‘iOS’ aesthetic (though in a way that’s unlike Apollo) and Memmy, which borrows a lot of Apollo’s design aesthetic.
