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.
Sync is far superior to the other apps so far, even with some features missing in the beta. I was using Liftoff, which is good, but not even close to the polish of sync.
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:
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.
Sync is pretty good but its font options are awful on my phone. If I set the comments font size to “huge”, it’s still smaller than e.g. the clock in the notification bar. And then it’s an unreasonably large jump from “huge” to “header”.
It needs a simple font size slider instead of preset mystery values. As it is, it’s just uncomfortable to use.
Not sure if Sync for Reddit had the same problem since I used other clients more.
Try going into setting and modifying “Base font size” then based off that modify comment and post font sizes accordingly? I had the same issue and the base font size allowed for more precise modification
I’m using Infinity at the moment, since it is what I have used with Reddit until the API changes. I’ve always loved Infinity’s swipe actions, and I haven’t encountered any serious bugs so far. I’m gonna try and help contribute back to the app when I can.
It keeps complaining that it can’t sync multireddits (whatever tf that’s supposed to be) and I used Jerboa to edit my post because Infinity crashed but over all it’s been a great experience so far!
Sync looks fine, so does Infinity, but I’d like to wait to switch over until there’s an option to see both upvotes and downvotes separately, as is the case for certain instances
I’m using both. I paid to have the ads removed on sync and the dev does great work but I think I prefer infinity. I’ll probably just throw my donations going forward to this and my instance on the fediverse.
