I'm alright with connect for now, Boost is the only one I'd pay for
Connect is a decent client, but if dbrady ever releases Relay for Lemmy, I'll jump on it.
dbrady is like the only Reddit dev that is staying with Reddit so I highly doubt it. Relay was also my app of choice, but Sync was #2 so it's good enough.
Yeah, I know, but a guy can dream can't he?
Boost is the one I'm looking forward to with by far the most excitement. It was my favorite Reddit client. While I'd be happy enough with Sync, it was always 2nd to Boost for me and this launch and the extremely premium pricing haven't left me with the best first expression.
I also have the feeling that ljdawson will be the first to cut their losses if the client doesn't perform as expected on this platform, which makes me extra hesitant to dish out for 22€ or 115€ lifetime payments.
The pricing definitely seems steep to me for an ad free version of a phone app. I'm also holding our for boost although Sync seems like a pretty solid alternative for the moment. I haven't been fully satisfied with many of the other apps except maybe Voyager
Boost gives me so much joy to use.
Is one of these free (license-wise) and open source?
A bunch of them are. The ones I know of: Jerboa, Thunder and Voyager. I am currently mainly using Voyager, its pretty nice
Edit: Removed Connect, as it is not Open-Source
I don't think Connect is open-source. To my knowledge, it's similar to Sync and Boost, a single developer working on the app as a passion project.
Oh sorry you are absolutely correct, for some reason I thought I also installed it through F-Droid. Too many Clients 😄
Also using voyager at the moment but it doesn't feel quite right on Android as it was mostly based on Apollo for ios. Even with the slight android theming it's still ios-like.
Thara true, but I really like its compactness and fluididity.
Actually contributed a bit to Jerboa in the beginning, but its just a bit rougher around the edges than the newer clients that are now emerging.

I learned about Infinity today, will trial it out : https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Infinity-For-Lemmy
Yeah, installed it too, as it is not also available on F-Droid 😄
Boost won't be, it was a buy once type deal with the reddit client he made
Can't wait to launch the rocket! (ㆁωㆁ)
