It's probably unrealistic to expect it to be as solid as it was as a reddit app. I loved boost and I'm sure I'll try it out, but I'm expecting it to be buggy and not as fully featured as Voyager, which I keep coming back to. Connect and Thunder are great too.
I've been using connect for a few weeks, what does voyager offer that connect doesn't?
It's just a matter of personal preference. I like the look and feel of voyager better for some reason.
Even a perfect reddit app would be very incomplete if ported - it seems like half the feature requests on c/connect are things like "block instance" "treat entire instance as nsfw", show/hide instance names on users / communities, "browse another instance's local feed", the kind of stuff that a reddit app would have no concept of
