Honestly, using https://wefwef.app as a web app is hard to beat right now. It works very smoothly, and I finally understand why all the iOS users mourn the loss of Apollo so hard. Granted, using an iOS-esque interface on an Android device is a bit odd, but the gestures and the layout are just chef's kiss.
The biggest issue with it is that it's getting hammered on the primary domain, so I'll probably move to self-host it sooner than later.
I have an instance of WefWef just for my Lemmy instance. https://app.thelemmy.club
That way I can give my users WefWef without having to put any more load on their main server
Once the PR for more permissive CORS support gets merged and lands in the popular servers there will no longer be a need for wefwef and other apps like it to proxy requests on behalf of users. I'm personally waiting to properly release my WIP client until then, as I really don't want to take on the burden and responsibility of proxying user data. If you're a developer you can check my current progress here, and here's a short video I recorded that is already very out of date.
Connect has an android style interface and the swipe gestures like Apollo / wefwef. It's pretty good for now until Sync for Lemmy comes out.
