Voyager is the way to go. It doesn't even feel like it's "just" a WebApp.

I respect your opinion. For me it was super clunky. I tried every app for lemmy. The best one is sync for now. If there is a proper competition it will be boost for lemmy.

[–] Alivrah@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I'm back after testing Sync for a few minutes and... You're absolutely right and I think Sync is winning me over!

I mean it's nice, but it's also super clunky

Voyager is amazing. I'm now battling between it and thunder. I've been using Voyager a lot more than thunder.

[–] Alivrah@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I haven't checked out Thunder yet! I'm amazed at how fast apps for Lemmy started showing up after the whole Reddit API fiasco!

[–] donut4ever@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Thunder is a very good app. I've been testing it on both Android and iOS. It's been solid. Still missing a thing or two and has some issues, but it is really nice. I do like voyager a lot, too

None of the other lemmy apps I've used have quite felt right, though I think voyager was the best of the ones I tried in terms of ease of use. I really liked sync for reddit, so I'm hoping I'll like the lemmy version too. I generally try to avoid subscriptions, but if I like the app and they offer a one time payment to be ad free at some point then I'm fine with that. Tbh so far I haven't actually seen any ads though so if they're not obtrusive then they won't bother me. Devs gotta put food on the table somehow.

I just started testing it out and I gotta say, Sync for Lemmy is absolutely beautiful!

I'd buy it in a heartbeat if it offered a one time option!

[–] ljdawson@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It's available as a one time purchase now
