I made a folder with my fav lemmy apps that I tried so far, and they are sorted by favorite to less favorite. By far, wefwef is my most used and I do switch to lifoff sometimes. Also, the official lemmy app is really not bad compared to reddit’s official app. I would say try all of them and see which one works the best for you. waiting for sync and boost to launch. let me know if you have any other suggestions I haven’t tried yet.

I’m using Thunder and I’m liking it while I wait for Sync for Lemmy to be released.

If Thunder could fix its bugs and add more ui customization the it’d be golden.

Yeah, I like it for the most part but really am not a fan of the swipe gestures.

I wasn’t a fan of the gestures either but I got use to them quickly and they aren’t bad.

Thunder has fixed the majority of it’s bugs, it just lacks a few features how but the dev is already working on adding more.

Thanks for this comment, I hadn’t heard of thunder yet (been using liftoff, jerboa, and connect). So far thunder is the new best of the bunch!

Switched to both of these within the last couple months, both are great. Niagara is admittedly probably the most expensive android app I’ve purchased, but I think it was worth it

I’ve been trying them as well. It feels like each one (so far) has something problematic–quite understandable given their early development.

I’m really looking forward to trying Sync when it’s ready.

Keep seeing people talk about wefwef, but I can’t even find it to download

I see Connect, Jerboa, Lemmotif, and Liftoff

It’s a progressive web app, basically a website that you install to your phone that behaves like a normal app. It’s one of the best PWAs I’ve personally encountered too.

Connect works well for me on Pixel6! I feel they are fixing stuff too because it has less and less quirks every day

Doesn’t work for me. I have Android and I used DuckDuckGo initially but there wasn’t any install option, then I used Firefox and clicked Install from the settings while I was on the homepage and on the settings/install page but neither did anything, they just moved me to the app launcher (my home screen).

Chrome probably works the best for PWAs, maybe try some Chromium alternatives to see if works properly.

It’s because duckduckgo at least historically did not support PWAs.

FWIW, Wefwef is a progressive web app, not a native app.

It’s not an app, it’s a website that resembles an app. Apollo, specifically.
