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.

Missing wefwef. Every app has its flaws, but Connect is the more feature-rich.

It's easy to complain about the bugs in every one of them, but let's not forget that for the vast majority of us, we didn't even know that Lemmy ever existed a month ago.

Progress has been astounding

Well put. The developers behind the apps have been on their toes to provide a more accessible experience to the community, albeit with different visions. :-)

Huh, Fennec is the name of my web browser. Which I definitely recommend, it's a fork of Firefox stable with all proprietary and telemetry removed.

[-] StoicLime@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Excellent review, helped me a lot in deciding my app of choice.

I'm just waiting for Boost for Lemmy, meanwhile I'm using Connect.

I've replaced Lemmotif with Wefwef as Lemmotif doesn't support login yet. If I get two apps with missing inboxes in a row I'll open up Liftoff for a few minutes to reply to messages. Bye for now as it's hard to find this post every time I want to reply to comments.

Can't tell if you are just a power user, or Lemmy is so small it's easy to run into micro celebrities.

Big fan, can I get an autograph?

OP actually delivered! 🤩

Class act.

Can't find thunder on the Playstore, so far it's either connect or liftoff. Connect works better but liftoff looks better. But I really hope boost for Lemmy will be released soon

[-] Paralda@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

You can download the latest releases on github. It's still very much an alpha, but I think it flows the best of any app I've tried.

Waiting patiently for Sync as I keep using Jerboa.

[-] Bosa@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Sync is now out in beta in case you didn't know. Launched today.

[-] lemmyshmemmy@lemmy.world -4 points 1 year ago

Liftoff is treating me well, Connect and Wef Wef too. Excited for Boost and Sync.
