My feed has been flooded with posts about the Sync app released for Android, with a lot of hype but also some complaints regarding pricing, ads, privacy, etc.

This made me really appreciate Memmy, with which I have had no issues so far, and am impressed with how clean and easy it has been to use despite being new.

So that’s all, just a huge thank you.

    You should check out Voyager too. It’s the closest thing to Apollo appearance-wise that I’ve used. I typically switch between that and Memmy.

      I can’t get on with voyager. What the dev has done with a React PWA app is amazing but not having haptics makes it feel too weird. And the new app version is just a web view and performance is awful for me, not sure if it’s better on newer phones. But i could learn a lot from what he’s done with React I’m sure.

          Yea that’s what i was talking about with the app version. It just puts it in a web view on mobile, which makes it have terrible performance for me.

        The animations in Voyager iOS web app have lower refresh rate than in Memmy. Even on the latest iPhone.

          Yea that’s what i was talking about with the app version that uses web view. It’s very laggy because of technical limitations of making a web app run natively

        In my ANdroid phone on Android 13, haptics are present in Voyager.

      I’m Voyager only. Was trying out a few other clients, but Voyager almost nails the Apollo feel

        Thanks, I’ll check that. I’ve been beta testing Thunder and Liftoff! liftoff works nicely for browsing, but seems to have trouble posting using federation (tells my I’m not signed in anywhere). Thunder let’s me post, the the UI needs lots of work (now swipe forward, tough vote buttons and more).

        Same. I bounced between all the apps for a few weeks but I’ve settled into only using voyager. It’s just perfect
