Just checked Memmy's new app and now I want WefWef to have one (self.wefwef)

I don't mean to belittle the work done on the web version, but the overall experience will just never be on par with native apps. You can tell from the delays to the occasional hiccups. Are there any projects that aim to port WefWef to iOS? We can sideload it at least.

Even if an app was made, it’d just be a wrapper of the same web app. Dev has stated as much.

It's just I'm messing around with Memmy and thinking to myself that WefWef NEEDS this. The Apollo UI was already ironed out, now it's time to bring the native experience to the table as well.

I don’t disagree that a native app would be cool.

However it’s not likely to happen, app would have likely to be rebuilt from scratch, or just a wrapper around the web app like I mentioned before.

This is more work for the dev to maintain/release a native app for multiple platforms rather than work on one that works universally.

I also think wefwef works great as is. I think whatever issues there may be are likely to improve as the app gets more developed. It is only in Alpha status right now. Not even beta.

With that in mind it works perfectly.

The dev is super bullish on PWAs iirc, so this is unlikely to happen.
