iOS has Mlem, but it is still in a very early stage.

Using mlem as we speak, but it sure is dry. I’d love an Apollo-style client for Lemmy. (Christian, if you see this, please.)

I wonder if Lemmy's (and thus the Fediverse's) target audience is even willing to spend money on apps. Even the makers of Tweetbot are having a hard time competing with Ivory against the numerous free alternatives.

If the target audience you speak of is people leaving the other site and coming here, then I'd say 100% yes. I can only speak for myself, but after seeing what they did to Apollo, I would be more than happy to spend some money to support Christian if he were to make an app for Lemmy. I think a lot of others would to.

There were no really good free Reddit apps for iOS. Apollo hit a niche. A free Lemmy app would at least have to compete with Mlem and the time frame is narrow until the market is flooded (see also: Mastodon’s three months from 0 to 7262952 apps).
