I have about 5 different apps installed right now, and while I plan to test them all out, curious what people’s conclusions are thus far.

Infinity is AWESOME although I’m not quite sure how to get automatic updates for it yet.

You can install and update it using obtainium. I haven’t used it before using it for infinity for lemmy and it works perfectly. Obtainium itself can be installed over android, although I’m not sure it’s in the standard repo (I got it from the IzzyOnDroid repo)

There’s Obtainium, but the dev said that he’s trying to get it released on F-Droid, so I’m waiting for that.

Edit: It’s in the IzzyOnDroid repo now.

Could you share what your favourite features of Infinity are? I’ve never used it before, here or on the old site.

Not OP, but for me it’s the fact that it’s super customizable, and still very usable and smooth out of the box. It being FOSS is the cherry on top.

Also using volume buttons to scroll posts/comments is a plus.

I have been giving all the apps a go as well. I was using RIF for over 5yrs prior to the switch. I grabbed the sync app as soon as it was available and was so impressed that I immediately bought ultra, mostly to support the developers. I know it’s steep, but maybe as more users start using lemmy the price will come down a bit.

So far I am very impressed with sync. I love how granular the controls are even to the point of having different settings for different logins. Account switching is super easy between several alts that I have and I am really looking forward to being able to import my community subscription to my back up instances in the near future. More than happy with my purchase and I hope the developers continue their outstanding work.
