iOS UI/UX on Android doesn't make any sense
Settings / Appearance / Themes / Device mode / Android (beta)
Looks pretty beta though...
Well... It's is beta...
Someone finally said it. Can't stand it, sorry.
I must be an idiot, as I cant tell the damn difference. There are posts. They have thumbnails. I scroll through posts, I click on and read comments. How the hell is different than any other Lemmy app?
it's ios-like
But how, though?
The iconography, full text up button in the action bar. Doesn't use material elements in the ui and it's themed ios blue instead of using the device theme.
It has Android mode also.
Ya that would be my main complaint. Awesome app for iOS users, but Android here. Doesn't seem the Android mode works ATM but I'll keep an eye on the progress! Good efforts from devs regardless!
Ummm... What's the problem with Android mode? I'm using it ever since it's here.
I should rephrase. It works, but as of now the Android mode doesn't look all that different. I notice some minor changes, but still feels mostly like an iOS app.
