I am also a former Jerboa user and although I kinda liked it - the sole reason that I moved away from it was the lack of a proper search feature (It is already well-known that the Search bar in Jerboa is basically only for communities; Jerboa can’t search for posts, comments or users.
I have lately been using Eternity - and the main reason is that Eternity is a fork of Infinity for Reddit, and Infinity was a complete app by its own merit - so although Eternity is not updated frequently, it is very unlikely that I will miss any essential feature in Eternity for Lemmy.
I’ve used connect, jerboa, thundar, sync, voyager, summit and liftoff. Eternity is the only one that works well for me without annoying bugs and has all the features that I need.
Been using Eternity for quite some time. I like it, it’s clean and modern, but I get a lot of bugs. Last week I couldn’t see posts, then, I couldn’t comment or save posts, and then posts were loading but I was seeing posts in communities I wasn’t subscribed to. Sometimes logging out and logging in again helps.
Use to use sync a lot but I gotta say summit has been working really really well. The dev is active and has actually fixed a bug I posted about in their community.
I found that trying to access via FF on my Android would cause my cpu and data to peg out at 100% almost immediately. The phone would get hot and I could watch the battery % drop. I’m grateful for an app.
Since I haven’t seen it mentioned yet, I’ve been using Liftoff for a while now, and I’ve found it to be a fairly good experience. My main annoyance is that, if I open a notification of a reply to a comment, the process to see the original context for the reply is…convoluted, to say the least. Other than that, great app.
haven’t seen any comments mentioning connect yet, so that would be my recommendation. by far the most fully featured and smooth lemmy app imo and its my favorite. I’ve used most other apps but I always come back to connect because of all the different ways I can customize it and all the settings I can change that I simply don’t see in a lot of other apps.
I have tried a vast majority of them and there were many I like some features of, but they end up falling to the way side. I always go back to using, “Connect” For Lemmy. Has every thing I want.
I use Voyager. It gets updates fast but it looks like an iOS app. I rarely encounter any bugs here. Voyager also has mark read on scroll and disabling infinite scrolling (add a Load page 2 button) Sync is also good, it deals great with vertically long images and is a native app.
Sync has been really weird for the past few weeks, I stopped using it until there’s an update (which hasn’t happened before since several years ago when I started using it as a reddit app).
I’m currently on Boost, and it’s at least usable, though not super great, but good enough for now.
For iOS the only one that can do swipe right to go back anywhere on the screen is LiftOff. It’s a crucial feature for me so there are sadly no alternatives.
