Sync is more polished, but Infinity has a much better layout on the Galaxy Fold. I’m using Infinity for now, but hoping it improves quickly.
Neither is as good as Reddit Is Fun for foldables, unfortunately. That had a perfect interface IMO. Much better than Apollo too.
One thing that really bothers me on Infinity is that I see no way to show the parent of a comment that I am looking at. It only times you the option to show all other comments, but not the parent specifically.
Thunder is very nice but it’s very slow to populate comments and posts to the point that it just skips through the comments. I’m trying to decide if I care about the whole sync data collection nonsense or if I want to use a FOSS app instead. I was also using Voyager and it was pretty good.
Edit: thunder doesn’t seem to be updating my subscriptions automatically for my secondary account so that’s a bummer. I was starting to slowly lean towards thunder as my primary app since it seems to be the smoothest UI experience outside of Sync. Voyager also has a really smooth UI, but it’s not a dedicated app. Liftoff is my default at the moment. It just works.
it wasn’t “constantly” updated. I feel like LJD got it pretty stable then took a deserved break. After a month or 2 with no needed updates people went absolutely histrionic over it: IS THIS APP ABANDONED?!!?!
Been using sync for years now and it’s just a great app.
It runs so smooth, very clean looking, easy to read, highly customizable, tablet mode, dev is always updating and adding in requested features from the users.
Small features that make the app stand out like sharing a setting from the settings menu that will take you straight to it:
It’s interesting to me how I’ve tried like 10 apps including Sync which everyone raves about and for me one of the least mentioned is best: Connect. The UI is cleaner than the others. The navigation transitions are a little janky but not horrible and I’m hoping they’ll smooth out eventually.
For me, I used to love Sync for Reddit for a long time, until he switched to Material You without a real option to go back. Material You is just plain ugly.
Now that I’m on Lemmy, I stumbled across Summit, which looks good and performs good.
I’m using Voyager (!voyagerapp) and it’s near perfect! Only thing that could make it even better is having it as a standalone app instead of a PWA (which currently you’d really have to install via Chrome as PWAs are just slower with Firefox), and aeharding is working on it!
