Dead app
Was great
Account not saved
I upgraded to the iPhone 16 and had to sign in to my Lemmy account on Avelon, which is normal after changing phones. However, after doing so, once the application has been closed (not just in the background), the account I signed in with was removed from Avelon.
Otherwise the application works quite well, but this is now a showstopper for me.

Abandoned
The dev of this app has been radio silent for almost a year, but is STILL collecting In App Purchases. BEWARE!
Closest thing I have found to Apollo
RIP Apollo
Hello Avelon!
Hello Avelon!
Incredible Lemmy Client
I've been using Avelon since the very first day it launched on TestFlight and it is by far the best way to explore the Fediverse that I have found so far.
Pros: It has a layout and features reminiscent of Apollo, with enough customization to satisfy my oddly specific requirements. Loading times are fast and the search function is the best I've seen. Blocking communities and subscribing is available directly from the home page as well. Gestures are well implemented and multiple accounts are able to be used. Also, NO ADS!
(Minor) Cons: Some features (extra customizing, content filters) are hidden behind a slightly-pricey paid Pro version. This is entirely optional, though, and the experience is great without it.
The developer is also incredibly responsive to feedback, which is always a good sign. Can't wait to see this app grow even more, would 100% recommend!

Great replacement for Apollo that needs some polish
Overall this app scratches almost all the itches Apollo left when Reddit shut it down. It looks great, performs well, and is generally easy to use. The biggest issue is I can’t share from it since it always grabs a link to the root of the instance a post is from, not a link to the post. It also needs a little more refinement on the gestures (they work, but don’t feel quite as polished as what Apollo had accomplished). If the sharing were fixed though an easy 5 stars.

Best app for Lemmy!
The best Lemmy app on iOS hands down! Thanks so much to the dev for all their continual work and daily updates on TestFlight! I can’t wait to see how this app looks and functions after a year of updates, customizations, and optimizations it’s going to be so so good!
Thumbs up
Missing a few features. But man having auto play videos helps a lot.
Just within the first 20 min I could tell this is a well designed app
Keep up the good work Dev.
