Blorp! 

been using boost no complaints

I’m using Voyager — I’m a very superficial user but it gets the job done.

I like Connect its the most customizable. Boost is my backup.

Sync or Boost.

Kinda depends on what features in sync made you like it.

Overall, boost, connect, thunder and summit each get close to parity, but only close. But, you could say that in reverse, (that sync only gets close to parity with any of them) it isn't a slight against any of them.

Eternity is another one that I've had good use of, but development on that seems to be stopped as well, so I dunno if that's a useful option.

Past those, you get less similarity in ux and ui than would make sense to compare. Like, the apps that mimic voyager (or whatever the popular iOS reddit app was called), things are laid out so different that if you used sync as a primary, you aren't likely to enjoy that ui.

On a phone, I kinda favor connect over sync, despite it looking very unlike it compared to boost or eternity. But on a tablet, nothing else does double columns in portrait worth a damn for me, and aren't great in landscape either. But boost and eternity come the closest to the visual ease sync has.

that's sync

I was going to include screen shots of the ones I have on this tablet, but uploads shit the bed and are being weird after that one. So no promises that I can do them all

boost

eternity

connect

and interstellar since it does piefed better than anything else I've tried, and still does lemmy just fine.

Decided to install thunder and summit long enough to give a visual

thunder

annnd summit

As you can tell, everyone has a slightly different approach to the UI. But they're even more variable in what settings are available, little niceties, etc. Theming is all over the place from a bare bones light/dark/oled to the relative broad visual options of boost and sync. None of them are bad at all. They're reliable, work even on older devices without bogging them down, and are all easy enough to get going with.

Voyager hands down

Thunder for general browsing, voyager when thunder doesn't work for something. Like no dms in thunder, so I'll swap to voyager for that. I just like the look and feel of thunder.

Thunder. The only one which is FLOSS, on F-Droid, updated, and actually good.

Im using Summit. Its really nice and the developer is active and listens to the community!

Connect is great, extensive filtering available. I use it as my main and jerboa as backup.

Thunder is cross-platform, and IMO has one of the best looking UIs.

I’ve been pretty happy with Blorp. They have mobile and web clients available
