Thunder is my favourite. It's an android app and I got it from F-Droid (Izzy on Droids Repo). Clean and customizable interface, convenient features like for example multi account support. I would recommend it!
Too bad it can't handle private messages apart from reading; you can't even easily mark them as read. The interface is mostly excellent, though, and hey, I'm using it for this comment right now.
I'm currently using Mlem on my iPhone.
It recently got updated to version 2.0 and this made it a much better experience than before. Plus it's a native app which I personally like.
Has it needed an update? He was really good with the Reddit app. If there isn't an active problem with the app tho, it may not need updated. It's what I use, and I haven't had any issues with it
Edit: just to get onto my parent comment, he is working on an update for 0.19.9 features, posted 2 days ago. It seems there may have been some departure from regular updates, so hard to defend that, but seems like he's back on it?
This looks really nice, but I cannot click any link there.
If the initial post comes with a link, I get a light blue button with "LINK" and when I click it, I get "error loading postings".
This is actually my favorite too! I downloaded like 5-6 different ones a few months ago and tried them all and played with the settings to see which I liked the layout of best. This one was my favorite.
It looked great and I really wanted to stick with the dev on it once they originally announced they were going to make a Lemmy version, but even after a couple months going between it and some other apps, while it looked much the same as Boost for Reddit, it just didn't feel the same.
Summit holds practically the same quality as Sync for Reddit had... If not more at this point.
And yeah, the dev is great and very communicative, he must love his own project to be so active regarding it, and it makes sense I have tried the app since its conception and it has greatly improved.
I don't want to bash other Lemmy clients.... But I have tried nearly all of them and Summit always speaks "smoother" for me.
I switched from Sync to Summit when I finally gave up on the sync dev ever doing anything more. Summit has frequent updates and fills the same spot for me as Sync, which is important to me as I used sync with reddit for a long time.
I agree, they definitely have to be passionate about it, and I feel it really shows. Truly shocked it never seems as popular as some others. I've given a number of bug reports and feedback/suggestions and they've all been addressed shockingly quick, and it's fun to think this or that bit is there just because I agreed nicely. 😇
I'm locked in to Jerboa. Not the most robust, and it doesn't show me notifications for mentions or DMs, but it has the perfect layout and aesthetic I want after a decade of using RIF.
I was using Liftoff before it depreciated to the point of non-functionality.
summit is the only other client that i tried and wasn't irritated by, but I've reverted back to jerboa after a few days. i like how streamlined jerboa is, and how it just works and always has.
it looks like the summit dev is working overtime getting everything in order and finishing several feature rollouts, so I'll check that out again in a couple of months.
I have a hard time believing Summit Dev has time for a day job! 😂
I feel every bug is patched same/next day and they keep constantly adding to the feature set. There have been a ton of upgrades this year, and it was perfect to me once they added custom user tags, so now everything is just a bonus.
I like all their decisions and they take feedback in what works for us, and at this point you can turn almost anything on/off so you get what you want.
the dev seems very dedicated, that's why I'll give summit another try later. quick links don't work yet, not all the setting toggles l are functionally tied yet to the features. there are also several tiny post/link/layout issues that I notice but don't have to deal with on jerboa.
I'm interested to see where summit goes, it is the only other lemmy client I used for more than a couple hours.
I'm still pretty new and I've only tried one mobile client so far. I'm pretty fond of Mlem. It seems to do what I need it to and it's pretty intuitive for me. Although it only works on iOS so that might not be useful for you depending on your mobile situation.
