Memmy seems like a solid choice, very active development. It has been offered to Apple review last week and should appear in the appstore soon.

[–] ivenoidea@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I second Memmy. I’ve tried the others available currently, including wefwef and Memmy is my favorite. wefwef is second, but an actual native app still feels better imo.

[–] fraydabson@sopuli.xyz 19 points 1 year ago

Agreed. I love wef wef but still has some weirdness being a web app. Memmy is my favorite installed app.

[–] foofiepie@feddit.uk 6 points 1 year ago

I third Memmy, but the amount of times I’ve gone to close a comment thread and it’s brought up the new comment dialog. And I can’t rotate an image to landscape, had no idea how often I did that. Still, old Apollo habits die hard. It’s a great contender.

[–] SocialEngineer56@notdigg.com 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Another Memmy user here - if you’re a fan of Apollo Memmy is the perfect substitute!

Not a native app, but i’m using the wefwef web app, and it’s pretty awesome and getting multiple updates a day.

It’s a web based clone of Apollo

https://wefwef.app/

[–] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 22 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Wefwef looks nice and I really want to like it but I keep tapping the back button and getting sent all the way back to my communities list, and therefore losing my spot in the scroll. It's getting old really fast.

I second wefwef. Incredible app, very close to Apollo.

[–] bop@lemmy.fmhy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Any plans to make it an iOS app that you know of?

Memmy is great too!

[–] renlok@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

It's a PWA which means you can install it on any phone

There's a comprehensive list of Lemmy apps being curated here.

Right now I'm using Liftoff.

[–] madmaurice@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 year ago

+1 for Liftoff

[–] DarthVi@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

I'm another Liftoff user!

I've also tried Jerboa, Connect for Lemmy and wefwef, but lately I'm using Liftoff a lot.

for Android I think Connect for Lemmy is the best around. also, it gets literally better day to day since the dev is following the app's community and fixes bugs, implements things from there super rapidly.

[–] ThrowingTofu@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

By far the best interface on android so far. Looking forward to Sync for Lemmy and Boost for Lemmy as well.

Using it right now. Very nice interface, especially comment field

I love the formatting tools

that are placed at the bottom

And enable easy text fancification

https://wefwef.app is amazing. PWA and hence cross-platform.

I've been using Sync for a couple of hours and already uninstalled Liftoff and Connect hahaha. Don't get me wrong they're both great, but Sync is that much better

[–] Michal@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same, already paid for year's subscription too. I used Sync for reddit and trust the developer to make a quality app.

It's unbelievably polished for a first release. Not 100% feature complete mind you, but it's mind blowing the dev pull this off.

[–] richieadler@lemmy.myserv.one 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It inherits all the lessons learned with Sync for Reddit until it died.

For me personally, Jerboa is the best Android Lemmy app that I've tried, and I have tried several of them. I'll just be glad when Sync for Lemmy is released.

[–] JaxiiRuff@pawb.social 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah I like Jerboa. Development has been pretty fast too.

It was previously my least favorite android option, but Jerboa is coming together nicely.

I also have Thunder and liftoff installed. I bounce between all 3.

I'll most likely be jumping to Boost if/when that comes out because I'm just so used to it.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I kinda like jerboa because it reminds me a bit of Sync. The dev for sync is actually making a Lemmy app though, so I'll probably switch to that one when it comes out.

Android user here. Liftoff is unmatched in terms of its visual presentation.

[–] _cerpin_taxt_@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I love the look of Liftoff. I just wish it had the functionality of Connect.

Well the app is currently in the earlier phases of development but i think more people should know that there is currently an attempt at porting slide for reddit to lemmy. here is the releases from the repository https://github.com/bqv/slide/releases, but its very early in development

[–] SummerIsTooWarm@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow, did not expect Slide for Lemmy. I used Slide for years until the api shutdown. I'm really looking forward for this app

Been using Liftoff and I'm enjoying it so far, after using/trying Thunder, Jerboa, Wefwef, lemmotif

A bit biased since I am the creator, but using Lemmios has been pretty sweet!

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !lemmiosapp@lemmy.world

for me liftoff is the least buggy and runs smoother than thunder or jerboa

Loves me some Boost. Boost is the moost.

I am using Connect for Lemmy. It is straightforward.

Jerboa seems great to me

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 points 1 year ago

For Android I'm finding Liftoff to be the best comparison to RIF so far.

However, I I am waiting to check out Boost. But for now, I've stopped using the other 2 big ones (Connect and Jerboa) altogether in favor of Liftoff.

[–] CoolSouthpaw@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On Android, definitely Sync. Yes, it has ads, but they're way less obnoxious than the ones on the official Reddit app, so I will keep putting up with them and u/Spez can go fuck himself.

[–] Blegh@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

I have about 6 installed. Connect is good. Liking Infinity right now. Jerboa is really good, but I like to have comments sorted by top as a default which is doesn't do...yet.

Really, I'm waiting for Boost, but likely jump between a few for now.

[–] CobraChicken@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I have tried all of the ones on Android.

Wefwef / Voyager is extremely impressive for what it is - webapp

However it and all of the other android apps glitch a lot. I'm on a pixel 7 pro so it's not a legacy hardware issue either

Sync is by far the best app by a large margin. Everything has a high degree of polish. UX design is perfect, though I may be biased since I've been using it for reddit for the past decade.

Sync only has ads on the post pages, may be once every 10-15 posts. No ads on the comment page. Honestly it's got the little Google ads that are not a big deal at all

If you'd like you can remove ads for $30 but honestly it's not a big enough issue at all
