I've used Lemmy more in the past 12 hours than I have in the past month since signing up. All because of Sync. (lemmy.world)

This x1000

I tried basically every app going on Android and they are all either buggy as fuck, unintuitive or janky in some other way. The user experience was just horrible.

I really do not understand all the people claiming Sync has an equivalent. It just does not right now in terms of a polished user experience.

Honestly it's just Linux vs Windows kinda situation to me. No matter how many nerds tell me Linux can do everything the same and is more customisable and better, it's just a worse user experience. Windows is far more intuitive and polished and there is a reason it has the market share it does.

Funny comparison to make considering that these are Android apps, running on the Linux kernel.

The comparison serves only to highlight the importance of presentation and consistency. Those other apps might get there some day, but they're not focused on a polished experience from the outset. Thats sync and it's legacy. Experience and ease first. Honestly feels closer to an iOS app. And thats a very good thing.

Yeah, but I'm using Sync exactly because I'm using Linux lol. Much more convenient and polished, and there's no such thing as intuitive UI, there's only UI you got used to.

I really wanted to stick with voyager, but just switching between inbox and posts was just a crap shoot. Sometimes it would switch, sometimes it was acting as a back button... Then you'd lose your scroll position in posts... Just very alpha feeling

That said I hope they keep going! Competition is always good!
