I'll add more apps to this list as they are released.

Since all these apps are being constantly updated, I'll also include the version number. Please don't let my post stop you from using any of these apps. My complaints will probably be fixed very, very soon.

Summit v0.1.22 (Day 1): The app is pretty neat since they added inboxes halfway through my day. The app feels pretty neat overall. It will be much better once they add profiles. I just wish they had an infinite scrolling feature. The community selection feels kinda wonky though.

Connect v1.0.73 (Day 2): This is probably the best app for Android right now; but I obviously can't tell since I haven't even tried half of them yet. Nothing feels missing from this app. It's great and has all the features I could want from a Lemmy client. The only issue I had was that some communities sometimes don't appear in the hamburger menu. I check up on my Stephen King community every few hours but I often have to search for it to find it. Overall an amazing app.

fennec v0.0.4 (Day 3): Overall a pretty neat app. It doesn't have too many formatting options; no button for adding pics to comments. The reversed voting buttons were kinda annoying and sometimes when a post had too many comments or votes, or when I was deep into a comment thread, it wouldn't show the upvote button. Also idk if it's just me being dumb but I can't figure out how to edit posts...

Thunder v0.2.1 11 (Day 4): It's a decent app. I don't really have much else to say about it. My only complaint is that you can't add images to comments and posts. If you don't really care about that it's a good choice for your main app.

Lemming 1.0.0-alpha05 (Day 5): It feels different from the others apps I've tried so far (probably just because of the unusual hamburger menu) but it's great. Profiles and inboxes are missing but i liked the UI colors quite a lot which made scrolling through it fun for me. Also, swiping to upvote requires a very small swipe on this app so I used it quite a lot whereas I literally never used it on the other apps. Pretty great and it's probably gonna be one of the best when inboxes and profiles are added.

I basically been doing the same. Missing that Sync feel for me. I've tried Lemming, Liftoff and now currently using wefwef. Didn't really like Lemming. Liftoff was an improvement and I'm digging wefwef other than iOS vibe to it.

Next up is connect!

So far I think connect has the sync feel and I am really digging it.

I use jerboa with blurred nsfw for daily use and connect at home when I don't care so I don't have to mess with any settings...... Until sync comes out!!!

[–] ronalicious@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

the thing i'm finding with the apps is that as the backend is upgraded/patched/changes the apps all respond differently to those changes. on top of that, updates to the apps themselves can cause erratic behavior. i'm looping thru 4 right now just trying to find something consistent.

[–] mizu6079@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I'm gonna keep the most promising ones downloaded to keep up with the new updates

Man, I'm out here using an app per account lmao

[–] mizu6079@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

You can sign into multiple accounts for most of these

This is for lemmy.world users: Are the Lemmy apps all very slow for the rest of you as well? My apps aren't loading properly ever since the hack. I'm commenting this from the website.

[–] mizu6079@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I was at the passport office all day and didn't get a chance to use Lemming properly. I was gonna write something with the few minutes of scrolling I did before going to bed but decide that wasn't really fair to the app. I'm gonna give it a second day before moving on to Liftoff.

"best" based on what parameters?

some apps are good at some things, others are good at some other things, even though their overall purpose is the same.

we've seen this based on a lot of different reddit apps, for example

I know this post is talking about Android but for IOS I've been liking Memmy and Wefwef. I'm also really happy to see that there are so many apps in development for both IOS and Android and am curious to see how each develops.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

I'm excited for Beyond to be developed. I used Infinity in the past and it was by far the best Reddit client. Had everything I could dream of.

[–] nomadjoanne@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Liftoff has a great interface but I want one account. I'm not logging in to all these instances to comment there.

I like liftoff but for some reason it doesn't colour viewed links differently.
