Let's not forget where we came from.
We Distribute, Part I: The Road to Federation by @Sean Tilley
In the beginning, there was Laconica, which later became known as StatusNet. A massive amount of the work that went into this is due to Evan Prodromou ( @Evan Prodromou ) , who is now spearheading an effort to standardize work on a communication protocol with the W3C Social Working Group.As a networking project, it was the first public implementation of the communication protocol known as OpenMicroBlogging, which later evolved into the OStatus protocol. These technologies provided a significant building block for future federated networking projects to study and reference.
In terms of how StatusNet was used, it resembled an early version of Twitter, with the added benefit of group functionality. What made it unique is that users on one Laconica server could communicate with users on completely different servers.

Search doesn't work for some reason, nor does it let you create hashtag-related feeds like you can with the Mastodon advanced web client, but maybe those will come with time.
I believe Ivory is being prepared to launch on the App Store. Looks like pricing might be $2.49/mo or $15/yr. I'm wondering if I enjoy Mastodon enough to invest in a client like Ivory, but if I find I do then I'd probably subscribe to it.
There's also @mammoth that I've heard great things about, but the TestFlight has remained full so I've yet to actually use it.
I think in terms of polish these two have some of the strongest pedigrees, being developed by teams with track records of making polished apps.

In addition to WriteFreely there's also #Plume, WordPress with the ActivityPub plugin and WordPress with the #Pterotype plugin.
Maybe someone else can comment on how useful and usable each of these are.

Unfortunately, it requires posts to have a subject line, which requires a schema change, or it requires people to write their first sentence line a subject line, which requires a people change.
