We are currently evaluating some 3rd party image caching libraries for use
in the iOS app.
At the moment, we have our own caching layer which is a bit entangled in
our data layer. We are making some changes to better encapsulate image
caching now, but as we do, we are also evaluating these libraries which are
general purpose and used throughout the iOS community.
This website gives a great rundown of the available libraries and why you
would choose to incorporate one:

As the title suggests we are currently looking most closely at SDWebImage
and FastImageCache.
If you have any insights or feedback please feel free to post here.
Thanks!
