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.

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.

I'm switching between Jerboa and Liftoff - Can't decide which one I prefer yet as both seem decent apps. I came over from Reddit and used Infinity and Slide fwiw

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If you like Infinity you may want to give Infinity for Everything a try

Thanks man. I've actually been using Connect this week after seeing it suggested in another thread and think it's my favorite so far, but I wouldn't say there is much between either of the apps I've used.

Does it support Lemmy yet?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's got early Lemmy support.

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.

I think the information here is out of date

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

The nice thing about using multiple apps is that you get tons of updates and improvements (?)

Can't choose which app to use? Simple: Just use the browser!

/Jk But I personally don't like using an app for an online-only activity, like social media.

Just downloaded and tried Liftoff and it looks amazing but it stutters so bad on scrolling on my S23 Ultra I had to uninstall it. Connect still seems the most polished for my taste. Wefwef is really nice to but I still get crashes on it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well then, I guess I have more apps to download. I like your piggies. Makes me want to watch invader zim.

not trying firefox?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I've tried Jerboa, Summit and Liftoff but my daily is wefwef because it has the most complete interface.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Does wefwef not work on Android?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Use chrome and install it as an add to Home Screen

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I just want to know where that cute piggy wallpaper came from :3

Interesting, I pinned your post.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Jerboa recently was down for a few days when the Lemmy instance updated. It isn't an issue now but was unusable at that point.
