Scrolled way to far to find this! Best one on iOS hands down.
Connect is the closest to Relay which was my favourite Reddit app. It also doesn't have ads.
Alexandrite for desktop, bean for iOS and Boost for Android
Anything that doesn’t make you pay to remove ads. That files in the face of what lemmy is about.

I'm using Avelon on Ios and I think it's great. I was using Voyager until some months ago.
Jerboa because you can see the number of upvotes and downvotes separately. And it's FOSS.
Boost is still smoother and feels nicer though.
Eternity, for now.
I'm on Summit now, it's quite nice. I've managed to set it up to feel similar enough to RiF.
All I can say is that projects were many on iOS during the Reddit API debacle in June and that now, barely any gets updated.
Bean for reading and commenting. It has only one issue and hopefully it will be fixed sooner or later. When someone responds to your comment and you tap to see it, you don't always land on the right spot in the thread. If it's a short thread, you'll be fine, but in a long thread you just can't find where the comment is. In those situations I use Voyager, Thunder or Liftoff. Once Bean fixes that issue, it's going to be the perfect Lemmy client for me.
Sync, but too expensive to pay for it. I don't see any ads however, probably because of dns ad blocker or just being in a country where there are no ads... Maybe?
Connect on phone, voyager on desktop
I recently switched to Eternity and I'm loving it so far. Only been using it a day, but I haven't run into any issues or anything to dislike.
I personally do not want to use any applications that have ads/tracking. I don't believe they have any place on Lemmy. I know already that I'm gonna be downvoted to oblivion, but I understand that these devs need to make money somehow. I just think it goes against the whole freer internet thing. Despite this, I don't really have a problem with them because they are contributing to the growth of Lemmy. And besides it is way better than using a centralised social media platform haha, so it will remain a personal choice.

Thunder. It was the best one out there for me during the early reddit downfall and now that it has everything I need featurewise I love it. Having watched it's devolopment I also feel a little attached to it.
I've tried a few for ios and landed on Bean.
