As far as I can tell the main sites I use like chess.com, lichess.com, and chess24.com do not support bughouse. Is there a popular place to play online somewhere? It would also like to have the ability to play on iOS.

For your information as well, lichess is planning on adding bughouse in the future. See this developer site: bughousetest.com– PenumbraBrahCommented Jul 31, 2017 at 14:17

Now you can play bughouse at Chess.com (for free). You can read this article to get help.
You can play on online1.eu where is possible to play slower bughouse also. There You play using web browser, so You can play from any PC, notebook, tablet, iPod etc. with any operating system like windows, linux, android, or iOS.
FICS(freechess.org) and ICC(chessclub.com)
Disclaimer: I am the author of the site.
It’s free, adless and open source. And customizable. You could choose whether drop mate is allowed, whether a promoted pawn turns into a new piece or steals a piece from the other board, etc. It also supports several other variants on top of bughouse, so you could play things like Bughouse960, Bughouse in Fog of War or Bughouse with a Duck, if you’d like.
There is a new site you can try: Bughouse Chess Online, or their mobile app Bughouse Chess Online (ios)
Android mobile app for bughouse online game with your friends: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.mail.park.bughouse
chess.com has bughouse; it works quite well.
I know lichess is working on it.
You can use new small specialized bughouse chess server which has unique lag double board compensator options on onlinea.org , actually runned node http://onlinea.eu
