What client, if any, do you guys use on your phone? I've been using Jerboa, but it has its problems so I'm wondering if there's a better option?

Connect is the best for me so far.

[–] ItsWizardTime@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Connect has been great. jerboa was rough when I tried it weeks ago.

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

i'm waiting for Sync for Lemmy, but Connect has been pretty good so far

I liked connect, but it has been crashing since saturday for me. I'm using thunder right now and it works pretty well

I second liftoff. Great app

[–] AlpacaChariot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can't believe how good Liftoff is considering the speed of development

[–] Spacebar@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's close to RIF for me.

Also, the release after next will have MOD features, so I'm happy with that.

I alternate between Connect and Jerboa

Waiting for Sync, though

I'm currently using LiftOff. It's not perfect but it feels more stable than Jerboa to me.

[–] Sshaggy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Been usimg Lift off with minimal errors

[–] PaulDevonUK@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thunder.

Like most, it is on development but updates aren't too far apart.

[–] hydroel@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I like Thunder best so far. I find Jerboa ugly and clunky, Voyager's interface is iOS focused and I don't think any other ones outside of LiftOff are open source - why use closed source services when good open source ones work just as well? I like LiftOff as well, I just like Thunder a bit more.

Technically Voyager has an appearance setting that you can change to Android.

In practice I can't tell the difference.

Jerboa gave me a bunch of issues but Connect seems to be working for me.

[–] Bluefruit@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yea i started with Jerboa but Connect seems better. I used RIF before and i would say both are similar but Connect just feels better and feels more stable.

[–] AToM_exe@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I also started with Jerboa and use Connect at the moment. Jerboa had connection problems and constantly logged me out. Connect has a much better interface, but I liked the blurred nsfw preview from Jerboa more.

[–] blacklizardplanet@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Wefwef/Voyager. I didn't like the iOS look but the new update has an android appearance(beta).

Though I do really like Liftoff too. I float between both of those after trying what seems like 2.4 million apps.

[–] RealThunderhop@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Voyager (formerly known as wef wef) web app

[–] Klear@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I lost all interest in wefwef when they changed the name. Voyager is so generic...

[–] RealThunderhop@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

That seems like an odd reason, but you are welcome to your opinion. I will say it still seems like the best app feature wise irrelevant of the name.

[–] Creyapnilla@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jerboa, but I honestly think the problems are server-side.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Most of them are at this point.

[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Jerboa for me. All the apps have errors but Jerboa has been consistently the best for me. A lot of the errors are server side I believe.

[–] ClaretNBlue@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I've used a few so far including Jerboa, Liftoff, Connect and Thunder and i have to admit that all are decent clients and I guess its somewhat down to personal preference, but I prefer Connect or Thunder.

[–] double_brown@lemmy.nz 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Any clones of RIF? I'm trying various clients but I used to use RIf for 6 years and really like it.

[–] MrBobDobalina@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 year ago

I'm trying a bunch and currently thinking Liftoff feels best... I'm definitely hoping for a 'Lemmy is Fun' at some point, nothing else feels right after so long on RiF
