iPhone users, what app do you use to browse Lemmy and what is the main reason you like it over others? (lemm.ee)

Mlem. There isn't really a main reason. I like it because:

It's native SwiftUI, so it feels super snappy and "Apple-y" the same way Apollo used to
It's FOSS (though that's sort of table stakes around here)
The widget customizer thingy on the beta build is absolutely fantastic
It's not ugly. There are a bunch of apps that just sorta aped the Apollo UI without any of the attention to detail
I have a ton of faith in the stability of the dev team. There was a bunch of drama early in its development and I was pretty sure the project was going to die, but it didn't and it's been (as far as I can tell) smooth ever since

My only gripes are that the scrolling is still sometimes funky on the beta build and development isn't the fastest, but once all the apps are in their fully-built stable state I think Mlem is absolutely going to stand out among the crowd.

Just installed it based on your comment, and am giving it a shot. Seems nice thus far!
