I have pro on both and like both. Is there some criteria others have used in the past to pick their favorite? They seem so similar to me. Does one have a killer feature the other does not?

I’ve had interaction with both developers. The Bean one disappeared as soon as they offered a pay model. I know that one of the people that work with them provided an update, but I just didn’t like how that all went. It’s a great app though. Avelon just currently has more of everything that I want.

Thanks for the reminder, cancelled my subscription. Just had it for notifications, but Lemmios has them for free.

Really been liking Arctic! The app is very fast and the dev is very responsive.

Yeah I currently use Lemmios for that too alongside Avelon. Avelon just introduced them in the TestFlight though.

Ah, seems like one of the few I’m not on test flight for.

Edit: on it now

Good to know. I’ll keep an eye on it. There is something about the visual presentation of Bean that I prefer. If Mlem let me only focus on unread and mark read as I scroll, I think it would be my preferred client. The developer won’t do it, but until the Lemmy API allows for marking several real posts as read at a time. I guess it’s too inefficient if not.
