!thunder@lemmy.world is pretty good

Are you trying to restart the lemmy app war? We finally just rid ourselves of the constant memes.

Sync or jerboa

Typing this 11 days after the initial question was asked and things have changed a lot since.

I've tried two apps: voyager (used to be called wefwef) and memmy.

Voyager has one problem for me on iOS 15.7: When I tap and hold an image no menu shows up, and I have no way of directly sharing an image. I can only share the link, but I don't want to do that. So if i want to share memes directly with friends and family I can't do that. I've tried to explain the problem in github but it seems like it's not a high priority and difficult for them to reproduce. I wonder if this is rooted on voyager being a web app.

Memmy on the other hand has made great progress and for me is the winner because it allows to share the images directly like I used to in apollo. They've now fixed the swipe to close gesture being too harsh, and thus I have what I need.

Here's what happens on voyager when I tap and hold an image I want to share: https://files.catbox.moe/ypz37b.mp4

Voyager is now available as a native app in the app/play store

Avelon on iOS looks very sweet now, I enjoy watching GIFs on it!

Thunder is pretty good

Thunder works for my as a android user. Early days though

For iPhone, you can testflight Mlem or Memmy and, although I prefer Memmy, they're both pretty great. I'd definitely give them a try.

Check out the community lemmyapps (not sure how to link yet), it has them all listed. I personally like Connect.

Memmy for iPhone!

Thunder has the best UX out of any of the Lemmy apps I've tried so far.

Using Thunder as of now. I think it gives more features similar to web version or the instance than any other Android lemmy client available right now.

I like Jerboa for android and Voyager for iOS

So I have to ask why was this post which asked what is a decent client for Debian removed (per rule #3):

while at the same time this “What's the best Android/iPhone app for Lemmy?” is not removed? Is it because the moderator created this thread & thus /above the law/, in effect?

I’m really liking Memmy on iOS. It takes some inspiration from Apollo.

For me Summit.

2 months later and there's still not a satisfying answer. I would have hoped 1 or 2 apps would have risen to the top by now, but it's still just a scattershot of people suggesting like 8-10 different ones. There's no consensus.

I don't want to download an app and get all set up only for development on it to suddenly halt. Then I'd either have to switch again, or be stuck with one that's forever missing features.

Too many new apps popped up in too short of time. Some of them are bound to fail or be abandoned. Some of them are likely to have been hacked together by amateurs and contain gaping security or functionality flaws.

Does anyone have a suggestion with more substance than "I like this app because it's the one I downloaded"?

Thunder has been my go-to. Not sure I could specify why beyond the fact that it just works

Liftoff, at least It was the best for me at the time when sync came out. I tried everything back then, but I should do it again
