Im using voyager with peel that lets you run webapps as contained native apps.
Summit. Chose at random
- Boost on old (2013) android phone. very convenient coming from RedReader on android
- Voyager on recent android phone. it’s good but kinda slow because it’s web-based
- Arctic on iOS (iPod Touch 7G). Mlem doesn’t support iOS 15, Voyager is slow/doesn’t fit small screen properly
Thunder. It was the first I found when leaving Reddit and it had been a good experience so I’ve not looked at other ones.
Eternity. I used Infinity for reddit and it’s the best UI and FOSS
Is Eternity still maintained? On fdroid the last version is from 2 years ago.
I don’t think it is and it sucks because I’m so used to swipe to go back.
I don’t think it is, but it still works.
Blorp. Don’t know why, just felt right at home with the UI and design.
Voyager because it was the first one I tried.
Second for me but the one I’ve stuck with
Same. I haven’t grown out of it and it’s doing literally everything I want it to.
Summit. It’s a little buggy sometimes but I really enjoy the ui.
I have three Lemmy clients on my phone: Blorp, Summit and Voyager. However, I mostly use Voyager. I think it’s the best app for Lemmy that I’ve tried so far. It’s the one I’m most comfortable with.
what does it give you over using your browser to access lemmy on your phone?
On phones, I generally find the usability worse on a browser than on an app.
for most things – yes.
but lemmy is fully functional w/o the apps and why i ask this question – what am i missing by using a browser instead?
i’ve tried the apps myself and couldn’t find a reason to justify keeping it around since most of them keep my user password.
I’ve been on Summit for a bit, but it doesn’t seem to have push notifications, or if it does I can’t make them work, so I’m thinking about switching back to Boost. I prefer the appearance of Summit, though.
Voyager.
I used “Reddit is Fun” for years on Reddit but when it came time to switch to Lemmy I picked Voyager (wefwef at the time) because the UI was the most similar. I tried many of the other popular apps and I was happy with most of them, but Voyager was (and is) my favorite.
It’s simple. Lots of text. Easy to use. Looks nice.
Voyager, reminds me a bit of Apollo for Reddit and has a good webapp for desktop usage.
did you make voyager’s app for apple watch work? mines always crash at home feed
Summit. Reminds me of Sync on Reddit 5 years ago
what does summit give you over using a browser on lemmy on your phone?
+1 for Summit!
It has been the best clean user experience for me so far
I’ve been on Summit forever now. Very active development, and they’ve added every feature request I’ve had along with many others’. I lose track of all the options it gets anymore.
It looks good, works good, and when it doesn’t, it gets fixed quickly.
I share lots of posts and articles and put them in quote blocks and just bring able to select all text and guy a single button that auto quotes all paragraphs won me over for good, and then multi-communities was the icing on the cake.
If you ever ask what app has feature X, it’s likely already in Summit.
I wonder why I had written it off months ago, because giving it another shot now, that app sure seems to suit all my needs. Perhaps I had just tried it out when it was very new and lacked many of the features that I wanted and could find in Thunder.
It went open source a bit ago if that may have been a sticking point.
Summit here too. I changed up some of the display settings so it feels like Relay for Reddit 😀
The things that got me to move from Voyager were that when images didn’t load first time, there was no way to re-try - Summit has that. And I don’t think Voyager handled drafts that well. Summit has drafts but I do wish there was a client that had drafts like Relay did, where if you come back to the same comment/post and hit reply it has your draft from where you left off on that comment/reply.
I use Summit because it has all the same features as Relay for Reddit, which was the best 3rd party reedit reader. Well, it still is, but now they have to pay disgusting Spaz.
the website, because it works the same as on my computer
Jerboa
Heard that it was an app from a Lemmy dev.Tried it and it was simple enough.
