    I currently use the Salesforce one because when I upgrade my phone restoring the Authenticator on the new device actually works. If there is a better one I am all ears.

    For iOS, Tofu is simple and works very well.

    i'm a big fan of hardware token - connected via usb/nfc!

    especially because there is no need for a mobile device and they are fairly cheap.

    and: because they are cheap, i'm using at least 2 per account/service where such keys are supported.

    if i lose the one on my (physical) key-ring, i always have a working replacement at home ... :)

    just my 0.02€

    I assume you mean TOTP apps in particular. Anyway, KeePassXC and FreeOTP are both good for that.
