Voyager is basically that. It’s on test flight or as a PWA on Lemmy.world

It’s good but Apollo has a level of polish that won’t be replicated for a while. It looks like Apollo, but it doesn’t 100% feel like it. Apollo for Lemmy would still be better than all of our current options imo.

Hopefully the native version, coming soon, will be a bit smoother than the pwa and have better integration with the OS.

It’s probably the best pwa I’ve ever used, but it’s still a pwa. And the native version will still just be a wrapper on the pwa, but it has the potential to be better.

Still, Apollo was around for a while which means it’s had more time for polish, and it had a lot more users, which meant more support, motivation, and money for development, as well as more people to submit feature requests and bug reports.

Indeed. It was a native app and it was such a polished gem. Christian's vision from the beginning was to make the perfect Reddit IOS app for Reddit and he made it happen.
