Initially I used Mlem, but I found the scrolling to be not smooth, and I didn’t really like the design. Then I had Avelon for a while, which I would’ve still kept if it wasn’t for the fact you couldn’t off-load it and it took up a lot of data on my phone (2-3GB). Now I use Voyager and I really like it, I think I’ll stick with it for a while. You can customise it a bit, it looks like Apollo, it’s smooth, I’m able to off-load it. It’s great!
Please elaborate on this “offloading” concept and why you use it. Thanks in advance.
If you go to your iPhone settings > General > Storage you have the option to either delete an app or offload it (which clears up space on your phone from the app’s cache). Avelon didn’t have this option and it took up a lot of space for me. Hence why I switched.
If you like the Apollo-esque UI, you could try !arctic@lemmy.world it’s native Swift instead of a web app.
It’s still in TestFlight but awesome and really smooth.
I actually did try it out a few hours ago for a short bit! I’m waiting for more customisation options, so once the app has developed more I will give it a more proper try. It did look very nice upon installing it. :)
