I've been using Connect. I'm testing out Sync the last couple of days and I think I like Connect better.
Connect is my go-to. It's ... Fine.
Sync might be better, but definitely not $20 better or $17 per year better
Have you tried Liftoff? Way better than Connect or Jerboa in my opinion.
I've tried liftoff. Still have it installed. Idk there's something about it I just don't like. Been using Connect and the regular site the most. But Thunder is being really reliable, quick, and stable for me.
What's the clincher for you with liftoff?
I thought the same about Liftoff. I downloaded it and Connect at the same time and felt ok about both, but didn't see them as improvements over Jerboa. As of five minutes ago I started giving Connect another shot; the Sync hype has me wondering if the grass is greener anywhere but I'm not willing to drop $20 to remove ads for a federation access point.
Do you mean on thunder? You can disable it, is in the settings. Maybe it's been added since you tried it.
I agree, I turned those off immediately.
I've been really impressed with how quickly Connect has shaped up after the whole influx of new users.
I'm just happy I can now set all my swipe options to upvote. No more randomly saved comments :)
I really liked Connect but it kept crashing when I got too far down my feed. I've been on Jerboa since and the last updates gave it the more polished feel like Connect has.
Jerboa sometimes crashes for me when I try to view lower level comments so I now use Connect. We seem to have the opposite problems.
Maybe i should give connect a chance again. I use it at the beginning and it keep spasm out so i drop it.
