New Lemmy app "Connect for Lemmy"

Does anyone else use the android app Connect for Lemmy? It reminds me of Infinity for Reddit. If you use it, do you like it better than Jerboa? I also found another new Lemmy app called Liftoff.

Well done to whoever is behind this app. Been using it a couple of days now, and it's hard to fault it. You must have worked your butt off.
Feels and looks good for my instance 'lemmy.fmhy.ml' on the web mode. Gestures and actions come second nature almost like, I like it.
Interesting, I'm waiting for Sync for Lemmy, is this one open source?
- No, I dont think it is unfortunately. Another commenter said it was full of trackers, although I have not verified that. I didn't realize that when I made the post
  
  Where is this post? I tried connect and it works fine, the guy made it in a week, it's impressive
Using it to make this answer, and loving it Jerboa just keeps crashing instantly for me (android 12, Fairphone 4). Not sure why. But connect has just worked out of the box.
- Mine has been crashing ever since the recent update specifically when I try to switch my filter from hot to new it seems to only happen if you do it right as you open the app
- Jerboa works just fine for me. I'm also on a Fairphone 4, but running CalyxOS with Android 13. Maybe you can try Jerboa from another source like F-droid instead of Google Play or vice versa. You can also try the IzzyOnDroid repository on F-droid.
