Ratings and Reviews
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!
Awesome Replacement for Apollo
After Apollo for Reddit was murdered in the APIcalypse, I thought my unhealthy scrolling habit on a news aggregator site was over. Spectacularly, I’ve found a replacement in Avalon for Lemmy. Been using it since the development version on TestFlight and wow - it’s even better than I could have asked.
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.
