I've been using Connect. I'm testing out Sync the last couple of days and I think I like Connect better.
Connect is my go-to. It's ... Fine.
Sync might be better, but definitely not $20 better or $17 per year better
Have you tried Liftoff? Way better than Connect or Jerboa in my opinion.
I've tried liftoff. Still have it installed. Idk there's something about it I just don't like. Been using Connect and the regular site the most. But Thunder is being really reliable, quick, and stable for me.
What's the clincher for you with liftoff?
I thought the same about Liftoff. I downloaded it and Connect at the same time and felt ok about both, but didn't see them as improvements over Jerboa. As of five minutes ago I started giving Connect another shot; the Sync hype has me wondering if the grass is greener anywhere but I'm not willing to drop $20 to remove ads for a federation access point.
The bottom nav that you can't disable drove me up the wall.
Do you mean on thunder? You can disable it, is in the settings. Maybe it's been added since you tried it.
I agree, I turned those off immediately.
Must be a new feature. I looked and couldn't figure it out.
I've been really impressed with how quickly Connect has shaped up after the whole influx of new users.
I'm just happy I can now set all my swipe options to upvote. No more randomly saved comments :)
I really liked Connect but it kept crashing when I got too far down my feed. I've been on Jerboa since and the last updates gave it the more polished feel like Connect has.
Jerboa sometimes crashes for me when I try to view lower level comments so I now use Connect. We seem to have the opposite problems.
Maybe i should give connect a chance again. I use it at the beginning and it keep spasm out so i drop it.
