I’m using Voyager btw.
Bump for Voyager
Additional bumpage
Same. Feels like the most solid
Voyager ftw
Do like Voyager. Also like Artic though….
I like Voyager. It’s just like Apollo. Fuck spez.
I went through a couple when I first arrived, eventually landed on Connect and haven’t had any reason to switch since. solid app for my browsing
Call me boring, but I found Connect first and haven’t really looked at anything else.
It’s absolutely fit for the purposes I use it for. I’m not sure what criticisms it has, but I certainly haven’t found anything to complain about!
Same for Mr, but then I tried more apps, and just couldn’t use them. Connect is the best!

I prefer it too, and I’ve tried most in this thread. It’s customizable and it has a similar feel to Relay for Reddit which is what I was used to. It also is cross platform on iOS and Android so I get the same UX on my phone and my iPad.
I’ve used Connect the most. Also tried Jerboa and Voyager.
The reason is that I prefer a tiny list view with thumbnails on the right, just like old.reddit used to look and RiF could be made to look. I left Reddit due to this. When they cut off 3rd party apps like RiF, there was really no good way to view the site (in my opinion). Connect simply has the settings to make it look and behave exactly how I want it. I think Voyager can be made pretty close too. Jerboa was kind of buggy when I tried it.
I’m sure things have improved in all the apps during the last year, but I’ve stuck with Connect because it’s both stable and flexible enough. It gets frequent updates and issues are fixed quickly. I reported a bug once and the developer got it fixed within hours.
Thunder on Android is great.
I tried a few, but Boost definitely does it for me. The look and feel is just right, and blocking communities and instances is only a click away. Really enjoying it
Boost is great. Works almost as well as their reddit app
Thunder!
I’ve been using Sync since I made the switch after Reddit closed down 3rd party apps. I signed up to get Boost when they released it but never actually tried it out.

I’m still using jerboa, I really like how simple it is.
but I haven’t tried the others because when I joined there weren’t really any others, so I’m not sure if I can call it my favorite?
jerboa is my favorite so far.
BIG shout out to Thunder, a great app for both Android and iOS.
It’s really nice to use, lots of nice features, I’m really happy with it.
Can I ask, those gestures, are you able to pick only one gesture per side, or can you like, pull “further” to reveal more gestures before releasing?
Yes, yes, and yes.
For those who have tried multiple apps, it would more helpful to others if you also mentioned WHY the certain app is your favorite. Is there some unique feature you really like or something else that sets it apart from all the others.
Personally I’ve only used Voyager. It seems to have everything I need but I cannot really call it my favorite as I haven’t tried any others.
I tried a few apps initially but stayed with Boost once it was released. It’s just what I’m used to from Reddit.
I just made the switch from Sync to Summit literally yesterday. Sync was fine for a while but it hadn’t been updated in ages (basically since the first major reddit migration wave) and it was starting to suffer as Lemmy incremented a few version numbers and Sync did not. Besides which I was paying a yearly subscription fee for an app that failed to load 2/3 of image posts.
If Sync gets an update I might still recommend it. It’s a good app, it just needs maintenance. In the meantime Summit does everything I wanted out of Sync, has an active developer with a Lemmy account, and doesn’t cost me money. I think it looks better too but that’s personal preference.
