I agree about Plex. But I don't get the love for Sync.

It feels kind of clunky and it lacks some features many of the other apps have. Personally, I'm liking Thunder right now, but I'm excited for Boost to come out.

Sync has ads unless you pay, it's not open source, and I haven't actually found anything superior about it.

    Care to mention some? I've used Thunder but I find it unbearably ugly and not as visually customizable as Sync.

    It's missing some of the gesture customization others have. I particularly like the left AND right swipe gestures in Thunder. Plus, there are more actions you can assign to them.

    Thunder also has more visual adjustments. Things like edge to edge images and post action customizations.

    Also, the reply window makes formatting and quoting easier.

    The feature different isn't big though, and most of them aren't a big deal.

    I'm not sure why you think Thunder is ugly though. The way I have them setup, they look almost exactly the same, except I have nested comments in factors more visible on Thunder, which makes it a bit easier to track the conversation.
