Most apps on the list are lemmy apps, meaning they don’t work with kbin. Artemis is specifically designed to work with kbin, not sure if or when any of the other ones will go in that direction or become interoperable as there are some challenges with the kbin API at the moment. Having said that, a new API is in the works so things should get better with time.
I made a neat table, here u go:

kbin.social has an “app” (at least on Android) but it’s just chrome without a url bar. It’s not bad, the site itself is pretty well optimized for mobile. No clue what any other kbins are doing.
Coolest thing I’ve found about it so far is that if you use a dark mode chrome extension and apply it to kbin.social it carries through to the “app”
unified frontend software, they’re all doing the same thing afaik
I can’t get it to work for me. I did the add to home screen but it just opens up in a chrome tab for me.
Edit: Turns out I had to disable AdGuard temporarily and then kbin’s install app banner popped up and that worked. Only issue is it doesn’t respect my device’s do-not-rotate setting, but I know somebody has added that as an issue so hopefully will be fixed pulled in to the codebase soon.
