      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 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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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!

  • Just WebUI. I prefer landscape mode, so this fits me well.

    I hate typing in portrait mode, and landscape also fits eye vision better. Plus tabs work far better than switching apps. I wish it could be more desktop like. Really, KDE Plasma + Wayland + maliit-keyboard would be nice combo to have on a phone. That’s what I use on my 2-in-1.

    But anyway, Android could at least have proper taskbar. I mean, I have this in 3-button navigation, surely it could fit more icons for background apps (assuming it wouldn’t kill optimize them):

    Yes, the text, it’s a Ulefone. There’s far worse bugs.

      Used Boost for Reddit, then when the API shenanigans happened I moved to Lemmy. I tried a few apps until Boost was working with Lemmy and I was happy. A few months back I started to notice some unfixed bugs, so I moved to Infinity and am happy again.

    Sync (Pro) has been my go-to since my brother referred me to it 10 years ago for Reddit. As soon as it was available for Lemmy I grabbed it. There is a stigma surrounding it, of course, as ad-free is a premium/subscription feature. I truly don’t give a shit. I spend my money on far worse things.

      There’s some discontent around Sync at the moment because of apparent infrequent developer updates that mean it hasn’t kept pace with changes to Lemmy. There’s nothing wrong with financially supporting developers - quite the opposite - and app development isn’t a cakewalk, but it’s worth doing a search to get users’ opinions before spending the money in this instance.
