What's everyone's favorite Lemmy app?

I'm using Voyager btw.
- Bump for Voyager
  
  Additional bumpage

I like Voyager. It’s just like Apollo. Fuck spez.
- Fuck spez.

I tried a few, but Boost definitely does it for me. The look and feel is just right, and blocking communities and instances is only a click away. Really enjoying it
- Boost is great. Works almost as well as their reddit app
- Boost rocks!

Thunder
- I prefer it too, and I've tried most in this thread. It's customizable and it has a similar feel to Relay for Reddit which is what I was used to. It also is cross platform on iOS and Android so I get the same UX on my phone and my iPad.

I've used Connect the most. Also tried Jerboa and Voyager.
The reason is that I prefer a tiny list view with thumbnails on the right, just like old.reddit used to look and RiF could be made to look. I left Reddit due to this. When they cut off 3rd party apps like RiF, there was really no good way to view the site (in my opinion). Connect simply has the settings to make it look and behave exactly how I want it. I think Voyager can be made pretty close too. Jerboa was kind of buggy when I tried it.
I'm sure things have improved in all the apps during the last year, but I've stuck with Connect because it's both stable and flexible enough. It gets frequent updates and issues are fixed quickly. I reported a bug once and the developer got it fixed within hours.

I went through a couple when I first arrived, eventually landed on Connect and haven't had any reason to switch since. solid app for my browsing
- Call me boring, but I found Connect first and haven't really looked at anything else.
  It's absolutely fit for the purposes I use it for. I'm not sure what criticisms it has, but I certainly haven't found anything to complain about!
  
  Same for Mr, but then I tried more apps, and just couldn't use them. Connect is the best!

Eternity, I just wish it was updated more frequently.
Edit: I can't spell.

I'm still using jerboa, I really like how simple it is.
but I haven't tried the others because when I joined there weren't really any others, so I'm not sure if I can call it my favorite?
jerboa is my favorite so far.
- Same

firefox

Jerboa. It's not the most functional but it reminds me of RIF the most.
I switch to Sync any time I need to use the search function
- Interesting - I use Connect for the same reasons.

Boost. It was my preferred Reddit client back before spez Elon-ed Reddit, so when the Lemmy version released, I purchased it to thank the dev for putting in the work to support Lemmy. It made my move to Lemmy super smooth.
I also use Voyager on occasion.
- Boost rocks!
- Boost dev was how I even found out about lemmy. So I actually followed the app.

I've been using Sync since I made the switch after Reddit closed down 3rd party apps. I signed up to get Boost when they released it but never actually tried it out.

Thunder on Android is great.

Voyager

For those who have tried multiple apps, it would more helpful to others if you also mentioned WHY the certain app is your favorite. Is there some unique feature you really like or something else that sets it apart from all the others.
Personally I've only used Voyager. It seems to have everything I need but I cannot really call it my favorite as I haven't tried any others.
- I tried a few apps initially but stayed with Boost once it was released. It's just what I'm used to from Reddit.

I just made the switch from Sync to Summit literally yesterday. Sync was fine for a while but it hadn't been updated in ages (basically since the first major reddit migration wave) and it was starting to suffer as Lemmy incremented a few version numbers and Sync did not. Besides which I was paying a yearly subscription fee for an app that failed to load 2/3 of image posts.
If Sync gets an update I might still recommend it. It's a good app, it just needs maintenance. In the meantime Summit does everything I wanted out of Sync, has an active developer with a Lemmy account, and doesn't cost me money. I think it looks better too but that's personal preference.

Voyager.
Used Sync, but it's not maintained. Liked Connect a lot. But, well, if the platform is open source, why not use an open source client too? Switched to Voyager and I've been very happy with it, actually.

Mlem
- another mlem user!
- Also using Mlem, here. I like it because it's a native app and has lots of customization features. I used to use Voyager, but it never quite felt native for me (though it's been a long while since I last used it).

Thunder and Jerboa atm.

Tried almost all of them on iOS, but sticking with Arctic. The dev makes constant updates and responds to user feedback fast.

Boost
Launch that rocket!

I know it hasn't been updated for a while, but sync just works

I’m on Voyager right now cause it’s like Apollo

Raccoon

BIG shout out to Thunder, a great app for both Android and iOS.
It's really nice to use, lots of nice features, I'm really happy with it.
- Can I ask, those gestures, are you able to pick only one gesture per side, or can you like, pull "further" to reveal more gestures before releasing?
  
  Yes, yes, and yes.

the one i wrote myself in rust
- Share?
  
  well it's nothing more than a minimalist lemmy reader at the moment with markdown rendering, replying, up/down etc. just the stuff you need when you're doing your daily scroll.
  i do use it daily and rarely have to use another app to do something but it's by no means full featured. the one thing i would say is that when rendering long posts with 100s of comments is,... it's blazingly fast :)

Presently using Arctic on my phone. I browse on the web on my computer.

Eternity is simply the best, no questions asked.
- Used Boost for Reddit, then when the API shenanigans happened I moved to Lemmy. I tried a few apps until Boost was working with Lemmy and I was happy. A few months back I started to notice some unfixed bugs, so I moved to Infinity and am happy again.

Just WebUI. I prefer landscape mode, so this fits me well.
I hate typing in portrait mode, and landscape also fits eye vision better. Plus tabs work far better than switching apps. I wish it could be more desktop like. Really, KDE Plasma + Wayland + maliit-keyboard would be nice combo to have on a phone. That's what I use on my 2-in-1.
But anyway, Android could at least have proper taskbar. I mean, I have this in 3-button navigation, surely it could fit more icons for background apps (assuming it wouldn't ~~kill~~ optimize them):

Yes, the text, it's a Ulefone. There's far worse bugs.
- A ulefone user?!! Wow
  I was using the Ulefone Vienna in 2016-2020, before I went to a xiaomi mi 10. Can't say that it was the best phone (took me really long to figure put how to root android 6 when kingoroot didnt work anymore), but had somewhat decent specs, epsecially for its price (~120€ lol).
  
  Armor 24. Not many options when you want a huge (not just large) battery (85.14Wh - 22Ah @ 3.87V), manual band-mode selection (also available on some Motorola devices), headphone jack and MicroSD card slot.
  Oh, there's also a separate programmable button. I've set it to:
  Single-click: Open Termux (terminal emulator)
  Double-click: Open Audio recorder
  Long-press: Toggle regular (weak) flashlight
- Lol something about the image you linked is crashing Boost

Voyager PWA ftw

Thunder!

Sync (Pro) has been my go-to since my brother referred me to it 10 years ago for Reddit. As soon as it was available for Lemmy I grabbed it. There is a stigma surrounding it, of course, as ad-free is a premium/subscription feature. I truly don't give a shit. I spend my money on far worse things.
- There's some discontent around Sync at the moment because of apparent infrequent developer updates that mean it hasn't kept pace with changes to Lemmy. There's nothing wrong with financially supporting developers - quite the opposite - and app development isn't a cakewalk, but it's worth doing a search to get users' opinions before spending the money in this instance.

Connect. Reminds me of RiF but also is just nicer to me. I tried a bunch of others at the beginning and stuck with Connect.

I mostly use Eternity.

Back when it was still working, I was using Sync for reddit so now that I'm on Lemmy, I've been using this. Haven't really tried other apps to be honest

Eternity. It works, and I like the UI.

Sync without a doubt.

Mobile Browser and Web UI
(Mostly using Tor, because I don't like Lemmy to have my IP address)

Is this /c/asklemmyapps?
(just kidding, but the same question got asked 6 hours ago)

Connect it works great and the dev fixes any issues almost Immediately despite being free.

Here to represent Summit.
Positive development cycle, nice dev, and decent features on Android.

Jerboa for me
- How is Jerboa these days? I used it during the Great Reddit Exodus days, but it was buggy as shit lol
  
  It's good, they sorted most of the bugs to the point now where, as my daily I have no real issues with it, and us def my fav in layout and presentation of everything.

I mostly use sync, even though I am not in love with it. I also have connect. Which I think is foss. Been thinking about trying a new app to see if it hits better.

Artic is incredible
- I have been using Arctic as well. Love it
  
  It's the only full featured app I could find for iOS. Great for admin and moderator actions on the go.
