I switched to Liftoff from Jerboa.

There are a few features that either don't exist or I haven't found (jump to next comments thread), but it's worked really well overall.

For context, I use Relay when I'm on Reddit

It's my favorite of the options so far, I wish I wouldn't default to lemmy.world, but that may be pilot error..

I'm on Jerboa for the moment, it gets the job done, was more intuitive for me than Liftoff. With that said I will 100% be switching to Boost when it's available.

Truthfully, it was my least favorite of all of the Lemmy apps. I didn't like it's user interface. Was it recently updated?

The UI is a little too cluttered and messy for my liking but it's a solid app! Love FOSS software

It immediately replaced connect for me. Absolutely incredible. I think I'll have to pick around for some actual feedback, but that's a damn good sign so early.

Love the layout, organization and it's immediately captured my entire Lemmy usage.

Coming from the Reddit is Fun app, I tried Jerboa first, thought it was fine, then tried Liftoff and it feels a lot better to me so far. But I'm still new to this universe, so I might try other apps and change my mind! Loving the diversity so far at least!

Liftoff is what I've settled on, so far. I've found it to have the best performance of all the Android options.

I tried about five different android apps and LiftOff was the one I picked. Looks the best, runs smooth, nice interface, fast with updates. Love it.

So far liftoff has been my favorite and I love the ability to have multiple accounts logged in at once and the ease of browsing from different instances. The UI is nice and clear and it's my favorite from the ones I've tried. I still wanna try boost out!

I prefer connect. It has a cleaner ui with less clutter imo

I think it's much better now than it was. You can block a community without opening a post. The community and OP are listed at the top. All fonts seen to be customizable. My only current issue is the color around the cards - it's gray and if you're in dark mode it's not as obvious where one end and the next begins. I would like to see color options for that and/or color options for headings. I could switch from Jerboa if they add that.

Liftoff feels like a love letter to Relay for Reddit. It's just missing a quick toggle to move thumbnails to the left or right in compact view.

Props for referencing the NoPoop meme in the settings too 🤣

I'm using it on Linux (Manjaro) I liked it that the dev brought it to Linux world.

I've tried a couple and Liftoff is my preferred app

I'm not a fan of the bottom navigation. Needlessly takes up space.

CONNECT for me.

I'd love options to disable the Tap to Hide feature, and have Make Text Selectable always on.

This is currently my daily driver. Awesome work!

I'm not a fan. It's laid out weird, like a Apple app or something. I just couldn't get used to it.

Connect and Jerboa are the two I'm trying to decide between now.

The main issue I'm having with liftoff is that I cannot upvote or comment posts from other instances with my lemmy.ml account, so I'm still using jerboa

It'll be a little confusing to have both lift off and boost as rocket themed Lemmy apps, but I guess it can't be helped

It's the only app I've tried so I know it's the best one.

It’s not bad, but the “compact” view is in no way compact. On liftoff on iOS I can see maybe 4 posts versus on Memmy I can see almost double that. The thumbnails need to be in line with the title and content, not just the content.

It's my go-to for random lemmy browsing. If I want to read interesting and/or thoughtful stuff I log in to my home instance where I'm subscribed to all my favourite content, but if I feel like mindlessly scrolling some memes and go where the internet mainstream goes, I use liftoff. Good interface, good speed.

Liftoff for me has been fantastic... I was a RIF user...

It's one of the better ones so far.

I'm using Liftoff until Boost (formerly Boost for Reddit) releases their app. Boost was an amazing experience on Reddit so I have to imagine it'll be equally good with Lemmy. So far Liftoff has been very good though. No real complaints but would love to see more customization options in the future.

I was an infinity user, so I appreciate Liftoff has similar elements. I'm rooting for the dev!

I was going to say that I loved it, but right now it's no longer showing me posts on my subscribed account on lemmy.world.

So I'm currently on my backup app, voyager.

Is there no way to hide seen posts or did I just not find it yet?

I couldn't enjoy Liftoff since it doesn't appear to have gesture support. Connect and WefWef are what I use until Sync for Lemmy is released.

Also, LiftOffs gigantic button at the top is an eyesore. I don't find the UI as well done.

It’s ok. I got it on Android now.

Please post this kind of thing in our stickied thread - we get a lot of posts similar to this.

I found it yesterday, and I like it so far.

I like it a lot. I tried Connect but it feels clunky, LiftOff feels more refined.

I don't hate it by any means. But design wise I always end up back in Jerboa which (to me) seems more old-school and familiar.

I find it hard to put into words, and obviously it's completely subjective, but aps like Connect and Liftoff seem too "fluffy" to me, with UI elements being larger and in-your-face. Whereas Jerboa just kind of gets the heck out of my way.

Pretty much my only nitpick is that we have no "Commenting as:" and "Posting as:" warnings. It blurs the line between accounts a bit too much in a platform that already adds lots of complexity by splitting the communities and accounts between various servers. Beyond that, its search function is everything I could ask for and it looks great! I'm sure it'll only keep on getting better over time.

I like Liftoff but I miss Reply notifications.

..Nvm I found it

I tried it, but the "compact" view is wayyyyy too sparse. I have a phone the size of the moon, I should be able to view more than 3 and a half single-line posts on screen

I love it. The best Option for now.
