Ditto. Memmy has a very familiar feel to it. Hell, it's even got a lot of the same themes which is a big plus.
Jesus fuck I never knew it had themes I could change. Thank you so much dude. This looks way better Although I wish the green theme didnβt change the whole screen to look like a filter just pasted over it
I use Connect, having tried most of what's out there but can't wait to get my hands on Boost.
Liftoff is the smoothest for me so far. Connect is great, too, but I can't stand the Icon. Same with Jerboa.
Connect is such a well designed app but you'd never know it based on the icon. It really is ugly, though not as bad as jerboa's.
It's true the Jerboa icon is off-putting for me too

I have Jerboa, Liftoff, Thunder and Connect installed and cycled through them to test them out. But lately i noticed i seem to be gravitating towards Connect.

Liftoff and Jerboa
Looking at the Github for Jerboa, I feel like some text and icons aren't that greatly sized.
Liftoff looks pretty good but I personally dislike the + button on the bottom.
I'm using Connect currently and it's pretty good so far.
Enjoying Connect as well. Dev is very responsive and has been making tons of changes and improvements. Reminds me of rif
I wish we had a poll vs trying to read through all these posts....
I flip between connect and jerboa. Jerboa would be my go to, but it's got too many issues.
Liftoff
voyager aka wefwef jerboa liftoff connect summit thunder

Just the mobile web browser
I've been trying both Jerboa and Liftoff. I think I'm liking Jerboa a bit better, it sort of reminds me of RIF a bit.
Im using jerboa but definitely wanna change when boose comes out
I briefly tried Jerboa, but I kept getting errors when trying to connect to some instances. I switched over to Connect, and that's been working well for me so far. The dev is making consistent updates.
And he have full time job amezing guy
I'm using Liftoff, it's still in beta and feels rather clunky but it'll do until Boost comes out

Have been loving voyager aka wefwef the best. Reminds me of when I used to use apollo. Can't wait for boost but this one's pretty good too.
I use too many, but lately only using apps that allow me to hide read post and mark as read while scroll, meaning:
- Voyager
- Connect for Lemmy
- Summit
In that order, whenever Thunder gets these features I can see myself rocking it until Sync or Boost for Lemmy enters to the game!
I have high expectations for that hinted Voyager native app though.
I like the look and feel of Jerboa, but it has a bug on my device where I'll be typing and it'll just jump to middle of the post and start deleting/overwriting stuff.
I like how Liftoff can provide a unified All feed with content from all instances, but the feed just looks so noisy and icon-heavy
Connect seems the most well-rounded and the closest to a Relay for Reddit replacement, so I've been mainly gravitating toward that.
Thunder just didn't hit with me for whatever reason.
There is something odd about the fonts used for Thunder. Maybe the spacing between the letters, I don't know exactly.

Connect, much better than Jerboa as of today.
Liftoff, connect was too laggy
Summit or voyager
I started with Jerboa, but am now using liftoff. Both are . . . OK. I'm not going to bother with another one until Boost gets released.
I've been rotating between these. Have had issues with both so start using the ither one when the problems get bad with the current one.
I tried Thunder as well but that was the worst experience.
Liftoff. I tried Jerboa, Connect and Liftoff and bounced between Connect and Liftoff for a while, but I mostly gravitated towards Liftoff. It's OK for now, but I don't think any of these apps will stay on my phone once Boost is released.
lemmy.world in a browser (mobile version ofc) with a shortcut. I prefer it over any app at the moment because of the good UI and no missing functionality.

Just Jerboa. Only one where material works as it should.
Thunder and Connect are kinda ok but the typography hierarchy need too much configuration to get right.
Thunder on Android is a very good experience, and Memmy on iOS are my favorites at the moment - have been for a couple weeks now.
