Please note this is just a beta and there are going to be bugs, but it works and it works nicely. Have fun.

Just tried it, looks good!

So many options, the customability is really nice
There is a premium option to copy subscriptions between instances (not ready yet).
Live comment refresh mode
Default font size could be too small for most people. I switched to Medium right away on a 6 inch phone.
Sports Mode in comments is a fun feature :)
Search Comments is really useful, I have missed this in other clients
It has faster and smoother scrolling of comments than other clients, very noticeable.
Being able to collapse comments by clicking on the number of comments is very useful.

So many options everywhere, it's a step up from previous clients for sure.

Making this client in such a short time is ultra impressive. Will be worth the money if being on Lemmy a lot, and also just to support developers like this who dare to bet on Lemmy.

I agree. I'd say that I have somewhat good eyesight but I had to bump everything one size up.

Did the same. I am pretty sure that one size up was the default in the Sync for Reddit.

Yeah, I used huge and very large on the old app, and that isn't changing here. I tried header/very large, but it was a bit too much. Nice to be able to read comfortably without squinting at the screen.

Hard disagree. Default was perfect for me. Could depend on your phone settings and DPI maybe?

[-] UESPA_Sputnik@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I have my phone on default settings (regarding display/size). It's perfect on every other app and the OS UI in general. It's just small in Sync. Bumping everything up one size makes it identical to every other app and the OS.

Can you tell me what it does?

It's basically auto refresh of comments in a thread, so if you have your phone in front of you while running on a thread mill or something, you will see updated comments without touching your phone.
