I'm just using the mobile website. It works and it doesn't pester me to use something else, which is really refreshing!

Wefwef looks really simple slick and Apollo like. Those are win for me.
Jerboa for now. The other ones I've tried were not information dense, only showing 3 or 4 posts on screen at a time, or had other issues. Looking forward to trying Artemis and Sync.
Jerboa, but can't wait for Sync to be released. If it's anything like the Reddit app, it'll be amazing (obviously after many iterations and testing etc).
I'm using wefwef which looks a bit like Apollo. It's browser based but you can install it on your home screen as a browser app.
WefWef is SOLID. Nothing will ever be Apollo but this definitely a easy transition from it.
I guess so I never used Apollo I used to use infinity for reddit but I'm definitely liking it so far except up voting or downvoting is two taps away instead of one.
edit: it's one tap away I'm still learning how to use it sorry.
FYI: upvote/downvote is a right slide and release of the post.

started with connect for lemmy. which is visually very clean but it neither has an edit comment function nor a block user function yet. lemming has both functions but loks a lot more clunky.

Started with Jerboa, but it started crashing on me yesterday (plus, it apparently isn't working right now with lemmy.world). So I tried Liftoff yesterday, which I'm using to comment this. Definitely going to Sync again once it's done!
Connect and liftoff
Liftoff, for the moment. But I think that there is still room for a lot of improvement. It is completely normal, this is still growing ^^
Soon to be Sync For Lemmy!
On Android I'm using 'Connect for Lemmy'
Memmy on iOS is my favourite.
Flipping between thunder and liftoff, thunder is my preferred app but it is very slow loading feeds and scrolling compared to liftoff, once this is fixed back I go.
Tried some others like connect for Lemmy but the whole UI feels 'off' can't put an exact word to it just a feeling!
Currently thunder is the only one that works with my instance, lemmy.cafe.
Using Jerboa right now, but to be frank: I haven't tried any other apps, because I am actually waiting for Slide, so whenever that launches I'll switch.
Wefwef.app best app so far
Was using Jerboa and really liked it up until today, it just crashes now.
Downloaded Liftoff and it seems pretty good. I want something like RIF interface and both apps give me that.
Newbie here. Just installed Jerboa and two minutes later it shows "Network error". Installed Wefwef and it's ok. Taking notes to try the other ones.
Still learning about Lemmy and the communities to have an accurate opinion.
Thunder and jerboa
I'm not using lemmy but kbin. I'm just using the app shortcut that you can create in Chrome on Android. It works well enough for now
I'm on kbin, so i guess i get no app until artemis is out :(
Thunder for me
New user here. I use the Web app for now. Connect seems to make my phone freeze for whatever reason and I can't seem to login with jerboa because "my server version is too low"...
Connect and Thunder seem to work best for me. I'm on .world so Jerboa isn't an option at the moment

I'm using Lemmy as an android pwa. Works well. I liked Jerboa but it was too buggy.
Started with Jerboa, but too many bugs, using Thunder now.
After a quick search, I've decided to settle on Connect. The UI looks really familiar to Infinity, which is a giant plus for me.
on connect after the jerboa problems, taking a look at wefwef too, but it loads in my browser... haven't dug into the UI much, but it seems decent.
I was using Jerboa. But after a lot of bugs in last few versions I currently trying other apps.
Currently alternating between Connect and Wefwef
Jerboa won't even load for me. It just crashes and force quits.
