Boost. It was my preferred Reddit client back before spez Elon-ed Reddit, so when the Lemmy version released, I purchased it to thank the dev for putting in the work to support Lemmy. It made my move to Lemmy super smooth.
I also use Voyager on occasion.
Boost rocks!
Boost dev was how I even found out about lemmy. So I actually followed the app.
Jerboa. It's not the most functional but it reminds me of RIF the most.
I switch to Sync any time I need to use the search function
Interesting - I use Connect for the same reasons.
Voyager
Boost
Launch that rocket!
Voyager.
Used Sync, but it's not maintained. Liked Connect a lot. But, well, if the platform is open source, why not use an open source client too? Switched to Voyager and I've been very happy with it, actually.
I know it hasn't been updated for a while, but sync just works
I’m on Voyager right now cause it’s like Apollo
Connect it works great and the dev fixes any issues almost Immediately despite being free.
Connect. Reminds me of RiF but also is just nicer to me. I tried a bunch of others at the beginning and stuck with Connect.
Eternity. It works, and I like the UI.
Artic is incredible
I have been using Arctic as well. Love it
It's the only full featured app I could find for iOS. Great for admin and moderator actions on the go.
I'm using Voyager btw.
Bump for Voyager
Additional bumpage
Same. Feels like the most solid
Voyager ftw
Do like Voyager. Also like Artic though….
I like Voyager. It’s just like Apollo. Fuck spez.
Fuck spez.
I tried a few, but Boost definitely does it for me. The look and feel is just right, and blocking communities and instances is only a click away. Really enjoying it
Boost rocks!

I've used Connect the most. Also tried Jerboa and Voyager.
The reason is that I prefer a tiny list view with thumbnails on the right, just like old.reddit used to look and RiF could be made to look. I left Reddit due to this. When they cut off 3rd party apps like RiF, there was really no good way to view the site (in my opinion). Connect simply has the settings to make it look and behave exactly how I want it. I think Voyager can be made pretty close too. Jerboa was kind of buggy when I tried it.
I'm sure things have improved in all the apps during the last year, but I've stuck with Connect because it's both stable and flexible enough. It gets frequent updates and issues are fixed quickly. I reported a bug once and the developer got it fixed within hours.
I went through a couple when I first arrived, eventually landed on Connect and haven't had any reason to switch since. solid app for my browsing

I'm still using jerboa, I really like how simple it is.
but I haven't tried the others because when I joined there weren't really any others, so I'm not sure if I can call it my favorite?
jerboa is my favorite so far.

Eternity, I just wish it was updated more frequently.
Edit: I can't spell.
firefox
Thunder on Android is great.
I've been using Sync since I made the switch after Reddit closed down 3rd party apps. I signed up to get Boost when they released it but never actually tried it out.
I just made the switch from Sync to Summit literally yesterday. Sync was fine for a while but it hadn't been updated in ages (basically since the first major reddit migration wave) and it was starting to suffer as Lemmy incremented a few version numbers and Sync did not. Besides which I was paying a yearly subscription fee for an app that failed to load 2/3 of image posts.
If Sync gets an update I might still recommend it. It's a good app, it just needs maintenance. In the meantime Summit does everything I wanted out of Sync, has an active developer with a Lemmy account, and doesn't cost me money. I think it looks better too but that's personal preference.
For those who have tried multiple apps, it would more helpful to others if you also mentioned WHY the certain app is your favorite. Is there some unique feature you really like or something else that sets it apart from all the others.
Personally I've only used Voyager. It seems to have everything I need but I cannot really call it my favorite as I haven't tried any others.
I tried a few apps initially but stayed with Boost once it was released. It's just what I'm used to from Reddit.
Thunder and Jerboa atm.
Raccoon
the one i wrote myself in rust
Share?
well it's nothing more than a minimalist lemmy reader at the moment with markdown rendering, replying, up/down etc. just the stuff you need when you're doing your daily scroll.
i do use it daily and rarely have to use another app to do something but it's by no means full featured. the one thing i would say is that when rendering long posts with 100s of comments is,... it's blazingly fast :)
BIG shout out to Thunder, a great app for both Android and iOS.
It's really nice to use, lots of nice features, I'm really happy with it.

Presently using Arctic on my phone. I browse on the web on my computer.
Tried almost all of them on iOS, but sticking with Arctic. The dev makes constant updates and responds to user feedback fast.
