  • The top menus are buttons and look weird and cheapen the experience.
  • Voting can’t be done via swipe.
  • You should be able to search all communities across all federated instances.
  • You should be able to browse the full list of communities for a selected instance.
  • The sorter for message replies doesn’t make sense. Why would I need to sort Active message replies?
  • If I check a message reply as read, their doesn’t appear to be a way to see it again.

To be very honest, Memmy is currently my favorite and I have been testing them all pretty extensively.

I seem to be using WefWef (just renamed "Voyager") and Liftoff the most.

A big fan of Sync, tho, so we'll see where we end up when that arrives.

This is awesome work. I wish posts had a thumbnail on the left or right to give you a snippet of the topic similar to the RIF app. I'd not then it mainly feels like a lot of words and read which is not horrible but the experience is slightly lessened and cluttered.

I tried Liftoff, ran into some login issues, and some other minor annoyances and switched to Connect. So far I'm liking connect

I love it. Some things are a bit awkward ui wise but it's smooth, fast and doesn't heat up my oneplus one

[–] FarLine99@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, it is fast!

It's the fastest lemmy app I've tried and I've tested all the ones I can find on android

[–] FunnyUsername@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It's my favorite, so far. A few things could be better. Like when you have large cards set, you still have to click to see the whole image of posts. Most of the time it's only cutting off the top and bottom so it's annoying when it should just show the whole image. Some other small things like that. But otherwise the best I've tried so far!

Edit: I think I'd like an option to enable the karma calculation to be visible or not, now that words spreading it's actually there.

I couldn't get it installed. It kept telling me "app not purchased", but only gives me an option to install. It looks promising, though.

I’m a Mlem guy myself. I like a well designed and native (Swift on Apple platforms) UI. I’ve been absolutely loving it! I can’t say I used Liftoff for very long when I was testing as I ruled it out due to its non native UI relativity quickly haha. But as far as apps go, it looked alright. Just not for me. It sounds like there are many out there loving it (Liftoff)!

honestly i kinda like it but it is also a bit messy and buggy, and it also has a lot of things that heavily annoy me into using the website on mobile

the main problem is any time i get a reply, i tap the link to go to the reply and it goes to the post without context, what a mess

i also can't see new comments i post without reloading

idk if they fixed it but b4 i couldn't delete or edit posts/comments which was like ???

i do think it's way better than jerboa for many things, especially for a multi-account user who likes to swap onto other instances a lot. but its room to grow is obviously enormous. I won't try to discredit the devs, this is an amazing app for something so early in the game.

I like Liftoff but the one thing that stops me from using it more is the dark theme is still a bit too light. Trouble is, I don't like complete black Amoled mode either. Maybe I'm just hard to please 😁

It's 2nd best to wefwef.app. The only thing wefwef needs is a grey theme, then it would be perfect. Also it's web based and no dedicated app. But the PWA app is quite good.

I like it. My only criticism so far is that I use Dex pretty frequently and it is not very usable through Dex.

[–] FarLine99@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Such a niche use case 🙂
