Features:
- Material UI-inspired responsive design (Dark/Light Mode)
- Filter by Supported Devices: Android/iOS/Windows/Linux/Web/MacOS
- Open/Closed Source
- URL/GitHub Link
- Client Status (beta/development/stable)
I welcome your feedback, suggestions, and bug reports to improve the directory further. If you encounter any issues or have ideas to enhance the user experience, please let me know.
If you find the Lemmy Apps Directory useful, please consider sharing it with your friends and fellow Lemmy users.
Thank you for your support, and happy exploring!
I installed Connect, Jerboa and Liftoff. Those are the three that are on the Play Store (so easy to install) and look professional (sorry Lemmotif).
I opened each one and Liftoff immediately stood out for how cleanly it presented the information. I am not a huge fan of the navigation style, I assume that’s the iOS style with the buttons on the bottom. I’m sure I can get used to it.
Connect was pretty good too. Easy to tell posts apart, though I like Liftoff’s presentation slightly better. Connect put the pic/preview above the header info, while Liftoff always has the header first. I much prefer Liftoff’s style there. [EDIT - Connect has a setting to change this! Score!] Connect uses a very familiar navigation bar on the right, which I really like. The color scheme is ass, hopefully that changes later.
Jerboa… I literally can’t tell when one post ends and another begins. Completely unusable IMHO.
So I am going to mess with Connect and Liftoff a bit and see which is better from a day to day usability perspective. They both have pros and cons at first glance so it’s time to dig deeper.
EDIT - Okay gave Jerboa another shot and it’s not that bad. It’s actually pretty decent within a given post. I’ll mess with it some more too.
Liftoff does look the nicest, but it’s not registering my upvotes (at least from what I can tell).
I also couldn’t figure out how to add other instances.
Overall though, glad we have a few nice options on Android. Using both Liftoff and Connect daily.
I’ve been living in Connect for now. It’s got some issues (as do they all) but it’s been doing the majority of what I need for now. The dev is very responsive on his community and is already implementing a feature I requested to fix the color scheme issue I complained about above. No idea if that was in the works before I mentioned it or they just work fast but apparently it will be ready tomorrow.
Tomorrow I’ll spend time in Liftoff exclusively and see how it feels in comparison. But so far, pretty happy with Connect.
I’ve only tried Jerboa and I didn’t dislike it. My only complaint is threading can be a bit unclear as the indentation is not huge but, the colours help there.
Looking forward to try boost for Lemmy as I was a Boost user on Reddit. But who knows, I may just stick with Jerboa for the name alone
Is the name supposed to mean something?
No idea, I just like it
