Voyager works great for me.
I am fully on the Sync train. It does get a lot of hate here because it's not FOSS, but it was the best app around for Reddit, and the dev converted it for Lemmy. It's so far above and beyond everything else that I'm happy to pay for it. There's a free version with ads, and there's the expensive paid upgrade ($20). The dev regularly disappears for months, but when he surfaces, he'll roll out a massive amount of bug fixes and features.
Yep, nothing beats Sync, although the other existing apps are great, and have been great since the beginning if you ask me.
If you wanna know why I chose Sync instead of any other app is because the damn app can survive even the worse ROM you use and it doesn't matter how atrocious your RAM management is, you are likely never gonna miss the position you left when you minimize and open other apps.
The app basically saves the state where you were and it is highly unlikely that you lose the track of it, even on aggressive RAM management ROMs like MIUI, it still stands better than the others, I experienced the same with Sync for Reddit.
+1
If you're running a pi hole, the free version is ad free too
But it look shit because they show ads like post. If you want real solution try Re-Vanced. (Hopefully I don't get downvoted by Sync user)
Android user.
I used Liftoff until it broke with the API change a couple months back. The Dev has been AFK looking after twin kids. Hope they are going well.
Tried Thunder for a while but it kept crashing or forgetting what post I was looking at when switching between apps.
Using Voyager now and I am quite happy with it. I miss the All servers you have accounts with feed view from Liftoff but that is not a biggie.
Shout-out for boost
Android app store says this shares purchases, location info, device ID and app interactions with 3rd parties... Voyager shares no data with 3rd parties.
I use Thunder. It looks nice, runs well, is actively developed, and the devs are very communicative and open to feedback.
I use Jebora and am happy, is there something important I'm missing? I was a Reddit is Fun user before and I like both because of how simple and basic they are. I hated the official reddit app for the reasons above.
Edit: the one thing I don't like is you can't, or I don't know how, to collapse all child comments.
I will admit I am very biased as a contributor to Thunder. I'm not an expert on all clients but Thunder has some super cool features.
- Really good markdown rendering (I've seen it render things that the other "big" apps miss.
- The agility to post and (soon) comment as any of your logged-in accounts.
- Notifications for inbox messages, soon to be integrated with UnifiedPush.
- Really good Lemmy link parsing and in-app navigation.
- Ability to favorite communities.
- Customizable swipe gestures, username and community name formatting and coloring, action colors, etc.
And these are just some of the recent things on the top of my head! I'm sure others can chime in with things I missed!
I still use Eternity, but unfortunately it seems like development stopped. Still the best IMO.
Jerboa
Using it since it's the app from a lemmy dev.
It's decent for my use.
Tho, some option simulating the multireddit option would be good. But it might be becoming a feature request for lemmy than a lemmy app there.
I love the Connect app(Play store link). It's incredibly feature-rich for being so early in the game.
I cannot understand why anyone would use an app with Ads when connect has none and it's free! After getting used to no ads, pure content, I would hate to go back.
I used to use boost for Reddit, but I'm securely in the connect camp now.
Sync. Customizable, pretty, working without issues, dev keeps on updating. Really good app..
Boost is also great.
I tried most of them and am happy with Sync.
Can't comment on Apple devices.

Sounds like a nasty bug...

I used Boost after Lightning died, it works great and i have no desire to look for another one. I used boost on reddit too
Used to use Eternity, but switched to Voyager. I like Thunder, but Voyager is better at pulling in pictures posted outside of Lemmy.
Early on I tried out other apps and they looked snappier and had many features but none I used.
Jerboa though has always worked and by default everything works exactly as I want and expect. So for me it can't be beaten.
Jerboa works fine... except when I have to search for something. Why is 'search' not a 'search post/comments' function but a 'search community' one?
Sync, all the way. I strictly used Sync for reddit after the first real enshittification (to me) of reddit a couple years back, and once the app was reworked for Lemmy I switched and haven't looked back.
Like others have said, it looks great, almost fully customizable UI, works really well, and saves your place when you're scrolling through comments on posts if you back out.
Sync, used it for who knows how long for Reddit, and none of the other options I tried before it was released for Lemmy came anywhere close to feeling as nice to use.
I can't recommend Sync in good conscience with the update policy. The dev keeps going AWOL for months, even when breaking issues exist.
This was fine when I paid something like 3€, but it's no longer fine when I pay 20€.
I personally use Thunder. It looks great.
I've been loyal to Sync. Few quirks that need to be resolved like support for Lemmy spoilers, but other than that it's been fantastic.
I used boost for Reddit and use Boost for lemmy since day one (of the app) I love it.
I use jerboa and so far my only gripes are being unable to unblock communities or users unless you go to the desktop page and the upvote system being a percentage instead of just an up and down counter.
I originally used boost as that's what I used for reddit but boost is crammed full of ads unless you buy the premium version.
Jerboa and Raccoon for Lemmy
I used Memmy up until development stopped and now use Voyager. It feels the most like Apollo did so it's got my vote for best app
My use case is incredibly simple, but I really like Jerboa.
I’m using Mlem, and it’s worked good so far
Boost and Jerboa, the latter via F-Droid.
Eternity
I find Boost for lemmy to work really well for me. I also use Voyager as a backup.
I use Jerboa. It's fine. It's the only one I've tried though.
I realllyyyy like Jerboa, but the only thing i have to compare it to is the web interface. I've never tried the other apps.
I use boost and voyager
