Like there is the Official Mastodon app for Mastodon, and Element app for Matrix, which app is considered the most official lemmy app for Android [possibly also for ios]

Or atleast, the app which supports most(if not all) the features available in Lemmy

none of them.

i've heard that jerboa is from the same devs as lemmy, if that is 'official' for you.

i personally use sync, but just because i've used it for reddit and i like the interface.

Jerboa is the official Android app made by Lemmy's developers. Unfortunately it's a bit buggy and they don't have the time to focus on it because they're busy with the web version of Lemmy already. It's still very usable though.

"A bit buggy" is quite the understatement. Elemental things like editing text in the input box (like deleting words or characters that are mistyped) cause completely unexpected things to happen to the text. I would not call it usable by a long shot.

Jerboa is notably not the official Lemmy app. It is made by the Lemmy developers, but they do not consider it to be any more official than any other Lemmy app.

Jebora seems to have this very annoying and deal breaking bug that makes it difficult for me to use it

Never ever experienced that in my massive whole maybe 2 months so far of using it... haha. I just wish I could block instances.

Boost for Android is another option, eh?

There is no official app. Just try out apps until you find one that you like.

I'm using Liftoff.
