I know people like the FOSS apps like Jerboa, but I wasn't into the interface. I heard there were big changes since I tried it though so maybe it's good now.
That said, Boost is my daily driver. Was happy with the Reddit version so I paid for the ad free Lemmy version too. Everything works and it's all smooth and intuitive (to me at least).
I also tried Sync and I do think it's nicer than Boost but WAY more expensive to go ad free.
Yer I tried boost didn't like it because ads that's one of the reasons I moved away from reddit
I paid to get rid of ads both when it was a Reddit app and now when it turned into a Lemmy app. It's very nice.
I'm all for paying developers when the product is good. Boost was recommended to me by someone I trust, and I believe the controversial permissions were addressed by the developer saying it was boiler plate stuff for the ad service they were using, so I have no problems recommending it at the price they're offering for ad free
Just block the ads with a DNS blocker, like NextDNS.
