Best app to view lemmy on android

Voyager for me.

https://f-droid.org/packages/app.vger.voyager

Not sure if it's available on F-Droid or not, but I've been using Summit lately and absolutely loving it. Blorp was my previous favourite, but I prefer the bit more modern and clean UI of Summit.

I did try Jerboa about a year ago when I first tried Lemmy, but quickly dropped it due to UI/UX issues I was experiencing at the time, but I would personally just stick with Blorp if it was between them.

Voyager was another I tried previously. Earlier I tried on my other phone (HMD Skyline) and consistently had performance issues with the app (long load times, occasional crashing, janky scroll). When I got my S25 I thought this would be solved with the more powerful device, and while it was much better than before, I still had performance issues.

Hope this helps a little!

Big fan of Thunder app. Great FOSS option and has tons of customization options!

Unpopular opinion maybe, but a web browser is absolutely fine.

Boost for Lemmy. I love it.

I bounce between Boost & Voyager. Will be checking out Blorp myself, thanks!

I've only used Jeroba. It works great for me, but with the google garbage going on, Im going to have to root my phone to sideload? I guess? So. thats my summer plan.

I used jerboa for a long time and liked it a lot. But it is optimized "just" for lemmy. It cant operate (in my experience) with piefed instances.

if you want to use lemmy and piefed for example, Interstellar is a better solution.

Firefox.

I like connect, it resembles my old app I used for Reddit

Summit's an easy recommendation.

I'm using Boost (and Vger but preferred Boost from Reddit days too). I got used to Infinity on Reddit after Boost ended and wish they'd make a Lemmy version of that now.

As a former RIF user, I haven't found anything better than Jerboa. Which is shame because it will never support piefed.

Summit is absolutely wonderful

I like Blorp but it could do with showing parent comment while replying.

Boost while not perfect has very few flaws for me. Whenever I receive a DM I have to go the web interface to get the notification to go away though. But that's the worst of it

I use Thunder, and I am very happy with it generally.
I used to use (and paid for) Sync for Lemmy previously, but I had the impression bugs didn't get fixed, so I switched away from them.

Waterfox, it's a fork of Firefox with no AI slop.

You don't need an app, just open it in browser.

I'm trying Blorp right now, since I do not want to figure out how to side load Jerboa onto my Android. (Thanks Google you bag of dicks.) So far Blorp is great, my only complaint being I wish three was a way to increase text/font size because I am old now and my eyeballs don't work as well as they did.

Another vote for Summit. Does everything I need it to and more, and has a very active developer. It's available on the play store but I get it from github via Obtainium. https://github.com/idunnololz/summit-for-lemmy

I use Summit.

Summit, by far. Voyager gets a lot of recommendations but it's not nearly as slick.

Used to love jerboa but stopped working for me. I think is because of my instance. I use photon now, it's ok.

I've been using interstellar (alexandrite on desktop) for some time and rather like it. Nice clean and useful UI, a bit buggy at times. Only other one I tried was voyager but wasn't a huge fan.

Sync

I'm using boost

I use connect. No other reason than it's the first I tried and I've not been annoyed enough to switch.

I use Fennec. Works great.

Jerboa. It was the first one I found working and installed, and didn't see a reason to change unless it stops working - like RiF before it. If it aint broke why switch.

I use Raccoon because it's open source and implements Material Design
