I have Sync and Jerboa, and I must say, Sync is polished and smooth and makes it more simple to use. I haven't tried the Infinity for Lemmy but I might test that one out, too.

I got Connect and it's fine. Free, no ads, and way faster than the mobile site. I might try some other free apps as they turn up.

I am using multiple apps right now. Sync feels really smooth. Summit also comes close in terms of fluidity I feel. I like Thunder and Liftoff as well. Waiting for more improvements on Thunder.

Thunder is nice.

Swiping to do things really makes a clean UI.

Boost For *Lemmy

I am happy with Jerboa. I used to use Boost and Infinity for Reddit. I tried out Infinity, Voyager, Sync and connect. So far, Jerboa has been the best experience for me.

Neither. I'm just using my browser for now until Boost for Lemmy is ready. The mobile site is pretty good for moderate usage.

Wefwef/Voyager still feels superior to me. Will still test sync for a bit but I couldn't find any unique selling point yet.

Really loving Sync. I would be happy if I had to use it forever, but I will swap to Boost if that ever comes out because I'm just more familiar with it.

I prefer Infinity but I did so for Reddit too so it's just my prefered app in general, Sync definitely seems to have less rough edges! I think the main advantage over fresh Lemmy apps are their UX and Animations, those are increadably hard to get right without years of user feedback!

Voyager just released as and app too (previously it was only available as a web app). If you liked Apollo back in the day you are going to like it.

I prefer my own app, but that's a given :P

I did like many aspects of the official Reddit app until they enshittified it, so I'm reusing some concepts it had. It's still in alpha phase, and even then, there's some things I liked that I'm not sure I'll implement. I particularly liked the second tab in the bottom navigation bar when it had your list of subscribed subreddits and an alphabetical scrollbar. That was super awesome. I'll definitely try to add something like that in the future, probably after I get feature parity with the official UI.

I'm avoiding pop-ups by editing the current relevant components. So, when you press "submit", the error message will be inside the form instead of as a pop-up. Or when you report a post, the form appears inside the post instead of as a pop-up. It's much more intuitive to use and I think I can make it faster to use.

I have been giving all the apps a go as well. I was using RIF for over 5yrs prior to the switch. I grabbed the sync app as soon as it was available and was so impressed that I immediately bought ultra, mostly to support the developers. I know it's steep, but maybe as more users start using lemmy the price will come down a bit.

So far I am very impressed with sync. I love how granular the controls are even to the point of having different settings for different logins. Account switching is super easy between several alts that I have and I am really looking forward to being able to import my community subscription to my back up instances in the near future. More than happy with my purchase and I hope the developers continue their outstanding work.

Sync is pretty good but its font options are awful on my phone. If I set the comments font size to "huge", it's still smaller than e.g. the clock in the notification bar. And then it's an unreasonably large jump from "huge" to "header".

It needs a simple font size slider instead of preset mystery values. As it is, it's just uncomfortable to use.

Not sure if Sync for Reddit had the same problem since I used other clients more.

I'm using Voyager (!voyagerapp@lemmy.world) and it's near perfect! Only thing that could make it even better is having it as a standalone app instead of a PWA (which currently you'd really have to install via Chrome as PWAs are just slower with Firefox), and aeharding is working on it!

I have been rotating through most lemmy clients on android, and the truth is I haven't been satisfied with any of them, although Jerboa was best of them even though the search was a bit lacking. I used Infinity on reddit and was kinda bummed it wasn't coming here. I found out about this fork 3 versions ago and am not looking back.
