Been testing as many iOS Nostr clients as possible recently as part of my testing of #Clave. Here's my summary.
Primal - slick, polished, but slow to refresh notifications. Does not currently support NIP-46 (sigh)
Damus - cool UX, total battery blow torch tho!
Wisp (iOS fork) - possibly THE best iOS client I've used. Fantastic UX, sensible layout, fully featured, everything works as you'd expect. Wish the "Live now" banner could be hidden. Told will never support NIP-46 (le-sigh)
Nostur - has the most potential. However, is incredible laggy and slow. Notifications take hours/days (srsly) and wallet functionality is missing features. Does support NIP-46 (in the plus column)
Yakihonne - this one surprised me. Did not like it at first. Has totally grown on me, now may actually be by daily driver going forward. Need the notification icon bar to be better spaced or have the option to hide the count numbers (Wisp does this best). Does support NIP-46
Are there any other iOS Nostr clients worth testing? What is your favorite iOS Nostr client - any why?
