Ecency is probably the most comprehensive Hive dapp with web site, desktop application and phone app. Its phone app is the most used app for a general Hive experience with notification system and all. They have a relatively easy build sign un process and creating Hive accounts with just a mail verification.
Ecency has been around for a long time, and it has went trough a process of rebranding when the Hive fork happened from its previous version eSteem. Ecency has been building for years with no hype around the app, but just providing a nice experience, especially on the mobile side.
