I'm pleased to announce the release of Echo for Lemmy! Echo is a Lemmy client for iPhone that I've been working on for a while and I'm excited to finally share it with you all.

Echo for Lemmy is a fully native iOS application built using fully native Apple SDKs. This means it feels right at home on your iPhone and is designed to be fast, efficient, and easy to use. No overhead from web views or cross-platform frameworks.

Here are some of the features available in Echo for Lemmy:

Connect with communities based on your interests.
Sort your feed by most active, trending posts, new posts, and many more.
Upvote and downvote posts & comments.
Powerful search experience to find the content you're looking for.
Create posts using share extension from any app on your device.
Bookmark posts to easily find later.
Fully native application with dark mode support & accessibility features.

Echo for Lemmy is available for free on the App Store, with subscription plans available for Echo+. You can download it here: Echo for Lemmy on the App Store.

You can also join the official Echo Lemmy community at [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]).

I'm excited to hear feedback, suggestions, bug reports, and feature suggestions. Feel free to comment here, or create a new post! You can also reach out via email at [email protected].

This is only the beginning. Much more to come!

Are you honestly charging for the version of the app that can create posts and comments? (Screenshot from Apple App Store)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This is probably going to change in the near future. A lot more functionality is being added to Echo+, and so a lot of this stuff will probably change soon. A lot of users however choose to only read content from platforms such as Lemmy. So the base app (free) focuses on reaching to reach what the maximum amount of users do on these platforms.

I truly appreciate your feedback tho. It's something I really do take to heart, and will continue to think about and assess. Any updates will be posted at [email protected].

Thanks for the answer. Was asking mostly out of surprise, as I hadn’t seen that in a social media app before. You obviously know your app better than anyone else, but would suggest offering a basic but feature complete app as the base, and then things like extras of themes, multiple accounts, enhanced search, etc as the paid version.

Thank you for taking the time to provide such valuable and constructive feedback. I truly appreciate it. Some of these ideas are actually already on the roadmap which is why I’m considering making some of those creation features free.

Stay tuned to this community for updates!

Why is it unavailable in the Netherlands?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Still working on compliance with the EU Digital Services Act. It’s high up on my todo list, and will hopefully be coming soon. Stay tuned to this community for updates on that.

[–] Thekingoflorda 3 points 3 weeks ago

Ah, makes sense. Good luck!

Interface looks nice, but I can’t try it because it isn’t available in Japan.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Check back in 24 hours (or maybe less 😉)

[–] th3dogcow 1 points 3 weeks ago

Got it. Thanks.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Looks interesting. Not available in German App Store, though

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yep. Sadly still working on compliance with the EU Digital Services Act. I'm really hoping to get that done soon then I can roll it out more widely. Stay tuned to this community for updates on when it gets released in Germany.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Would like to see this in the Australian App Store too please

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Check back in 24 hours (or maybe less 😉)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Congratulations! I can’t wait to see where this goes! I’m exited for all the unique features you’re going to cook up!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks so much. Always open to feature requests if you have any 😉. Stay tuned to this community for updates.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Looks good during the 20 seconds I tried it.

A subscription to post/comment on Lemmy is a hard hard sell though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you so much for checking it out! I really appreciate the feedback. I am considering a few ideas to revamp the subscription. No guarantees yet, but stay tuned to this community for updates.
