Thunder has been my go-to. Not sure I could specify why beyond the fact that it just works

I like Jerboa for android and Voyager for iOS
Voyager also exists for android and is a little quicker
Avelon on iOS looks very sweet now, I enjoy watching GIFs on it!
I am using mlem for iOS. I haven’t tried anything else yet though. (Also, mlem is still in testflight beta, but I think it will be on the app store soon)
Iphone: Try out Mlemmy & Thunder. But also give the wefwef.app a chance (just open it in your safari browser and make it a home screen link). All great choices with really good potential.
It’s not released yet, but I think Lemon will be a good app! Note I am pretty biased :-)
I'm equally and technically impressed by both Memmy and Avelon, cosmetically impressed more by Avelon (Memmy is also gorgeous), and emotionally more attached to Memmy since it was the first true native Apollo-like Lemmy adaptation and dev is super on-the-ball. Not that Avelon's is not I just can't speak to it since I haven't felt the need in my admittedly-lesser use of it compared to Memmy.
Both amazing apps and you really can't go wrong with either. I do really like Avelon's forced collapsing of all top-level comments' child comments which makes it easier to navigate the various apects people are commenting on at the top level and work your way down to more specific discssion based on your filtering of which top level comments address that which is of immediate interest to the specific readers' needs or preferred line of inquiry
Have tried all of the iOS ones, and Beans is by far the best!
Beans is tied for second for me. It has the smoothest scrolling but lacks some features of Memmy. I wish it wasn’t $30 (going up to$50 next week) for lifetime though. I’d buy it for $10, maybe $15, even as a second app, but $30/$50 is too steep provided Memmy is free and more future rich, as well as Voyager.
I love to use thunder as my main lemmy client it's available for Android and iOS Both
memmy is awesome
