I LOVE Mona.
I barely used Ivory because when I tried, they had JUST added support for custom emojis..you know, the thing that we've had for A LONG ASS TIME now on most other apps and Fedi proper? Yeah....they were still adding the most basic functionality when I used it, so my experience would NOT recommend Ivory in any case unless you want something super simple....
Phanpy, I've literally never tried. I could give the UI a go and look around a bit, but I unless the features are comparable (i doubt it) I won't be using it long enough to tell you ALL about it. Give me 24 hours and I'll let you know how I feel about the UI for phanpy.
Mona, on the other hand, has tons of neat features that I enjoy like (but not limited to)
Hashtag suggestions based on your personal use and their popularity AND it saves CamelCase when you use it. So if you use CamelCase a couple times with hashtags you use frequently, they will show up with CamelCase in the suggestions
Being able to have multiple accounts, but able to choose exactly which account I "interact" with on any given post. (there's a setting for favorites, boosts are decided on a post-by-post basis)
Being able to view a post from the original instance, straight in the apps UI, with no real issues interacting with the replies from other servers that you can't see on your own instance. (Load from remote server)
Automated alt text. Admittedly I haven't actually seen this yet and how it compares to IceCubes integration. From what I understand, I can't actually see the description before I post, which makes it difficult to rely on, so I haven't yet.
Overall though, they're VERY interactive with the community and very open to feedback and suggestions and that's one of the most important things in my opinion. If an app is just endlessly adding "features" but those features aren't even what users actually want, then whats the point?
