The amount of apps being developed for iOS / Android is getting really crazy now and new apps keep popping up every day. Updated list below:

Artemis (Kmoon) (iOS, Android): /c/[email protected]

Memmy (iOS, Android): /c/[email protected]

Mlem (iOS - TestFlight): /c/[email protected]

Morpha (iOS, Android): /c/[email protected]

Thunder (iOS, Android): /c/[email protected]

Beyond (iOS, Android): https://beehaw.org/post/647773

Liftoff (FOSS) (iOS/Android, Download on GitHub & on TestFlight): /c/[email protected]

Jerboa (Android - Released): (Play Store) https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa

Slide (Android): https://lemmy.world/post/379068

Sync (Android): /c/[email protected]

Connect (Android - Beta): https://beehaw.org/post/698247

Lemon (iOS): https://lemm.ee/post/127800

Summit (Android - Released): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idunnololz.summit

Most apps on the list are lemmy apps, meaning they don't work with kbin. Artemis is specifically designed to work with kbin, not sure if or when any of the other ones will go in that direction or become interoperable as there are some challenges with the kbin API at the moment. Having said that, a new API is in the works so things should get better with time.

I made a neat table, here u go:

Is there one currently usable that actually works for kbin?
- Not currently. And I think the kbin app is actually this, kbin uses /m/ I think? Or maybe I'm just wrong lol
  
  You're not wrong. The problem is that these links only work on Lemmy.
  
  They are working for me on kbin.
  
  Odd, not for me on kbin. Hmm
- kbin.social has an "app" (at least on Android) but it's just chrome without a url bar. It's not bad, the site itself is pretty well optimized for mobile. No clue what any other kbins are doing.
  
  Coolest thing I've found about it so far is that if you use a dark mode chrome extension and apply it to kbin.social it carries through to the "app"
  
  No clue what any other kbins are doing
  
  unified frontend software, they're all doing the same thing afaik
  
  I can't get it to work for me. I did the add to home screen but it just opens up in a chrome tab for me.
  
  Edit: Turns out I had to disable AdGuard temporarily and then kbin's install app banner popped up and that worked. Only issue is it doesn't respect my device's do-not-rotate setting, but I know somebody has added that as an issue so hopefully will be fixed pulled in to the codebase soon.
- I recommend using your browser and install the Kbin Enhancement Script. Makes it a bit better like collapsing comments. https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/468612-kbin-enhancement-script
  
  Does the script work on Android? Which browser?
  
  The Android version of Firefox supports add-ons. Check if any of the monkey script plugins are compatible (greasemonkey, tampermonkey, violentmonkey)
  
  @Cloudless only if the browser takes userscripts, there's a few that do. I use Kiwi Browser so I'll just tell you how to do it there. You have to download the script with the name ending in .user.js and go to extensions click the button import and select it. And that's it, it works like an extension. I don't know if the script looks good on android cuz i haven't tested it tho but i have tested many other userscripts.
  
  @fraydabson lmao i was like "omggg i din't know this existed" and clicked it and it says Reinstall, i already have it lol
