Now that the Reddit exodus is about a year old and the client apps have matured, what’s the latest state of the above question?
What app do you use and why? I’m mainly interested in Android but suggestions for other platforms are also welcome. And if you are using multiple platforms, what’s your primary one?
Still using Sync and Voyager. Voyager so similar to Apollo and Sync also solid as their Reddit client.
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.
Shout-out for boost
Android app store says this shares purchases, location info, device ID and app interactions with 3rd parties…
If you pay for boost, it does not share any info with 3rd parties.
Do you have a source for this? I don’t doubt you, but I can’t find anything online that corroborates it.
“Trust me bro” from the developer pretty much.
I think it makes sense, they’re a small developer and it’s all stuff I’d expect from the ad networks so if you get premium you also kill the ads and therefore the data collection.
Only if you use the free version with ads… which I wouldn’t recommend. Paid version doesnt do any of these things.
Ayyyyyy
Sync. Customizable, pretty, working without issues, dev keeps on updating. Really good app…
Boost is also great.
I still use Eternity, but unfortunately it seems like development stopped. Still the best IMO.
same here. tried jerboa and thunder for a but always come back to eternity. maybe it’s just cause I’ve been using infinity for so long lol.
I haven’t really played around with anything else since Sync for Lemmy was released, because I’m perfectly happy with it.
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.Does it save drafts yet? That was my reason to switch to boost.
Don’t know about Jerboa, but Thunder has been saving drafts for a while now.
Removed by mod
In the beginning, it was a mix of LiftOff! and Jerboa. The dev of LiftOff! had twins and understandably, he hasn’t returned and the app has fallen to the wayside.
So I tried Thunder (available on Android and iOS) and it’s been really good, lots of regular updates and features as well.
The website’s been updated, so we can link to that now.
I’ve been using Eternity for probably nine of these months
I’m using Mlem, and it’s worked good so far
I use boost and voyager
I use Jerboa. It’s fine. It’s the only one I’ve tried though.
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?
Jerboa went though a period time relatively early on in it’s development when it was a buggy, nearly unusable mess. It started out cool, then it shit the bed, and now I guess it’s cool again lol.
Unfortunately I didn’t wait for it to get good again at the time and I ended up switching to wefwef, which has now been renamed Voyager. Voyager never really went though a buggy period on my end as an Android user.
I’m on Boost after trying a lot of them. On my backup phone there’s Raccoon
I personally use Thunder. It looks great.
Also Thunder.
But then, I’m biased af.
Thunder was my first and I loved everything about it except tap-iPhone-lens-area-to-scroll-to-top being absent (or me being an idiot) had me switch.
I should try it again.
I’m on the dev team. Hence by bias :D
You can set the FAB to be a back to top button, and in the feed, tapping the feed tab button again while already on the feed tab, will scroll back to top.
I’m an android user myself, so I’m not sure what the gesture you’re used to entails, but as the code for scrolling back to top is already in, adding another way to trigger it might be simple. You could hop over to the github or the !thunder@lemmy.world community and ask about it.
👍 thank you
