I used to use (paid) Boost but it has more bugs than an entomology lab and I'm just fucking sick of it.
Recently switched to Voyager, and it's not as feature rich, but the features are much more stable.
I've gotten comfortable with Jerboa, but also I don't get to see GIFs and stuff people post, and I'm not sure if that's a limitation of the app? I really should try some of the others though.

Boost and also sometimes Voyager, both are really well polished.
Voyager. Don't remember why I stuck to this one, but the others I tried lacked some features I wanted.
I like it because it is pretty much the Lemmy successor to Apollo for Reddit.
Jerboa
Jeroba is for Jabronis
for me it's the gestures
Connect
Second this, it is great and gets regular updates
Sometimes I just have problems saving settings, does it happen to you too?
Nah not that I have ever noticed, I hmdont really change the settings though either.
Thx for your reply, maybe it's my phone I will check in my second phone 👍✌️
web browser
I keep hoping sync will be updated
Boost for the longest time; but since I've been using Piefed, I mostly just use mobile Vivaldi/Firefox instead of an app (Boost still works with it; I just got used to using it over apps).

Boost. Only problem I have is videos often only play in thumbnail and load infinitely when clicked on. Not that important for me though.
With Jerboa and Voyager there were a lot of small problems that just made the experience worse.

Boost. Used to use it for Reddit, then they disabled the APIs or whatever.
Anyway, it's excellent. Highly recommend.

Username checks out
sink still works for me. what's wrong with it
Jerboa. I find the UI very nice. Right around amount of info and density (i hate excessive padding), fully customizable colors, not 1 glitch
The only issue I ever experienced on Jerboa was gifs just not playing until you clicked on them and you never knew if something was supposed to be a gif or not.
As a former Sync user of nearly 10 years, I've moved to Summit now. It's the closest to Sync of all the apps I tried.
Just discovered summit recently as well. So far it's alright. I miss the slickness of sync though. The polish remains unrivaled.
I use Voyager, but I use it mostly for PieFed, not Lemmy.
I've never used an app for Lemmy just the mobile browser.
I prefer Thunder But sometimes images and other content just straight up fail to load, and then I end up using Voyager again.
Having tried almost all apps for Lemmy, Summit is the best. Not only is it feature rich, it also let's me view some content from instances that don't load for me on other clients. And this apparently only happens on Lemmy.zip.
I had to check, but voyager, evidently.
I used sync for Lemmy and Reddit, but switched to eternity like 6 months ago.
Very similar layout options & oled black night mode.
Doesn't work: Spoilers Gifs & Gboard gif search
Everything else is fine.
