Recently I installed all the Lemmy apps I could find, and started using them. Every time I came across a problem, I made a note of it and used that as a benchmark to rate all the other apps. All apps had issues, some annoying, some severe, some catastrophic. In the end, I sorted my app list by score and uninstalled all those that I could live without. I was left with only two apps: Bean and Thunder. Voyager and Liftoff are also pretty, good, but not quite as good as the two I use now.

Bean is exactly what I want out of a lemmy app. I’ve been using it since TestFlight launch and every missing feature I’ve requested has been added. Feels so good to use!

I think Bean has a bright future ahead of it. It’s clearly the bast app for me, but it’s not quite perfect yet. I’m happy with all the features except two:

When I go to my inbox and tap a reply, I’m taken to to a part of the thread that’s approximately correct in a short thread. If the thread is long, it’s getting harder and harder to find the spot where that comment actually is. Once this gets fixed I no longer need the keep Thunder on my phone.
The community grouping isn’t ready yet. It’s a very promising feature, but in its current state it just isn’t good enough yet. I’m really looking forward to seeing it improve in future updates.
