I'll add more apps to this list as they are released.

Since all these apps are being constantly updated, I'll also include the version number. Please don't let my post stop you from using any of these apps. My complaints will probably be fixed very, very soon.

Summit v0.1.22 (Day 1): The app is pretty neat since they added inboxes halfway through my day. The app feels pretty neat overall. It will be much better once they add profiles. I just wish they had an infinite scrolling feature. The community selection feels kinda wonky though.

Connect v1.0.73 (Day 2): This is probably the best app for Android right now; but I obviously can't tell since I haven't even tried half of them yet. Nothing feels missing from this app. It's great and has all the features I could want from a Lemmy client. The only issue I had was that some communities sometimes don't appear in the hamburger menu. I check up on my Stephen King community every few hours but I often have to search for it to find it. Overall an amazing app.

fennec v0.0.4 (Day 3): Overall a pretty neat app. It doesn't have too many formatting options; no button for adding pics to comments. The reversed voting buttons were kinda annoying and sometimes when a post had too many comments or votes, or when I was deep into a comment thread, it wouldn't show the upvote button. Also idk if it's just me being dumb but I can't figure out how to edit posts...

Thunder v0.2.1 11 (Day 4): It's a decent app. I don't really have much else to say about it. My only complaint is that you can't add images to comments and posts. If you don't really care about that it's a good choice for your main app.

Lemming 1.0.0-alpha05 (Day 5): It feels different from the others apps I've tried so far (probably just because of the unusual hamburger menu) but it's great. Profiles and inboxes are missing but i liked the UI colors quite a lot which made scrolling through it fun for me. Also, swiping to upvote requires a very small swipe on this app so I used it quite a lot whereas I literally never used it on the other apps. Pretty great and it's probably gonna be one of the best when inboxes and profiles are added.

Can't choose which app to use? Simple: Just use the browser!

/Jk But I personally don't like using an app for an online-only activity, like social media.

I've tried Jerboa, Summit and Liftoff but my daily is wefwef because it has the most complete interface.

Well then, I guess I have more apps to download. I like your piggies. Makes me want to watch invader zim.

Just downloaded and tried Liftoff and it looks amazing but it stutters so bad on scrolling on my S23 Ultra I had to uninstall it. Connect still seems the most polished for my taste. Wefwef is really nice to but I still get crashes on it.

[–] ProtossPineapple@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I like liftoff but for some reason it doesn't colour viewed links differently.

[–] nomadjoanne@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Liftoff has a great interface but I want one account. I'm not logging in to all these instances to comment there.

"best" based on what parameters?

some apps are good at some things, others are good at some other things, even though their overall purpose is the same.

we've seen this based on a lot of different reddit apps, for example

I just want to know where that cute piggy wallpaper came from :3

[–] mizu6079@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I was at the passport office all day and didn't get a chance to use Lemming properly. I was gonna write something with the few minutes of scrolling I did before going to bed but decide that wasn't really fair to the app. I'm gonna give it a second day before moving on to Liftoff.

The nice thing about using multiple apps is that you get tons of updates and improvements (?)

With the latest updates I've just been using the standard web client

[–] HenloHowl@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Consider throwing Memmy into the ring! It's been my goto over the last few weeks and I am loving it.

[–] BrikoX@vlemmy.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Isn't Memmy iOS only client?

[–] HenloHowl@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

According to their projects Github it's for both Android and iOS.
