I must be an idiot, as I cant tell the damn difference. There are posts. They have thumbnails. I scroll through posts, I click on and read comments. How the hell is different than any other Lemmy app?

Ya that would be my main complaint. Awesome app for iOS users, but Android here. Doesn’t seem the Android mode works ATM but I’ll keep an eye on the progress! Good efforts from devs regardless!

Ummm… What’s the problem with Android mode? I’m using it ever since it’s here.

I should rephrase. It works, but as of now the Android mode doesn’t look all that different. I notice some minor changes, but still feels mostly like an iOS app.

There’s an android Mode. But it isn’t really material ui either. It threw me off at first, but having the same EXACT experience on my Desktop, iOS, and Android is 🔥🔥🔥.

I don’t have iOS devices, but I already installed Sync on my desktop (W11 Android subsystem) and laptop. So I’m getting the same experience everywhere, with the added benefits of tablet mode on desktop.

So many good apps coming out. Have you tried infinity for Lemmy yet? And that Android subsystem on Windows 11 is GOLD. I use my iptv app and some other Android apps on it.

Is it weird that I like the iOS mode look rather then the Android one on my Android phone?

It looks like a very old version of Android. Sync is much better in terms of adopting the new Material You design philosophy.

Ah that’s why Sync looks so ugly with it’s off-red color to everything? Damn. Do you know whether I can turn that off?

It is probably basing the colour scheme on your background? You can turn this off in the theme settings.

Sync uses Material You. It’s using the colors of your wallpaper. And you can customize the theme manually on settings.

It’s basing the color scheme based on the main accent color you choose.

Set it to blue and set the intensity to minimum, and you’re good. Ideally paired with AMOLED black mode and extra powerful dark mode.
