I’m a Mlem guy myself. I like a well designed and native (Swift on Apple platforms) UI. I’ve been absolutely loving it! I can’t say I used Liftoff for very long when I was testing as I ruled it out due to its non native UI relativity quickly haha. But as far as apps go, it looked alright. Just not for me. It sounds like there are many out there loving it (Liftoff)!

My only gripe is that there does not seem to be a "context" button as the website has when people reply to my comments. Other than that, seems pretty solid.

If you click chain button near comment in Inbox section then on mid of the screen will be button show context πŸ˜‰

It's the fastest lemmy app I've tried and I've tested all the ones I can find on android

It's pretty nice, definitely prettier than jerboa. I still haven't found an app that will let me swipe between post comment sections like Joey (for reddit) could. Heck, even the official reddit app could do it, it's like the only feature it had that all of the 3rd party apps don't. Once I find an app that can do that, I'll probably stick with it

It was buggy and the "Subscribed" feeds weren't showing anything. I just deleted and reinstalled and it's working well now.

I like that it shows the full community/instance name with each post. That lets me see where the content is coming from. It seems hidden on another apps I've tried.

The interface is fast on an oldish Android tablet and I like the way images swipe up and away smoothly. But I couldn't vote or comment on non-local posts that I could do on Connect. Not sure if that was a config setting I missed though.

I couldn't get it installed. It kept telling me "app not purchased", but only gives me an option to install. It looks promising, though.

Trying it out as I wait for Boost. I didn't try any others. I like it enough to just stick with it I think since I'm waiting for Boost.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good UX so far! Boost seems popular so will try that. But liftoff is great.

I started with Jerboa and moved to Liftoff due to bugginess. Then moved from Liftoff to Connect because it's easier to flip between accounts with fewer taps. I was on Boost for R and am hoping the new upcoming Lemmy app is as good.

Connect almost does it for me, but it doesn't let me set default to Front Page or Subscribed sorted by New. I don't want to have to tap multiple times to get to that view every time I open the app.

It works. I wish the counter next to the notification bell would clear after I read the notifications. Instead I have to force close the app to force it to reload.

I'm sure time will make it better tho.

I was using connect and preferred that, but it stopped working on me. I use liftoff now. Dont like it as much, but it allows you to navigate to other instances easier
