One of the few things I could never get over after switching to apple was losing out on relay. No offense to anyone that uses other apps on Android, part of the reason android is so great is the variety but relay to me was the best by far without any doubt. I used apollo on iOS and it's good, I'm actually switching back to Android right now because I I just prefer it to iOS so it doesn't matter anymore because I'm looking at Lemmy apps for Android mow, and I'll probably try out wefwef on Android since I like it on iphone but man once you put this out... I don't see how I could use anything else if this is even close to relay, that UI just speaks to me
@vinnythegooch9 that’s interesting, I feel the same way but in reverse. I came back to iOS for Apollo, but Relay was my favorite on Android. What do you prefer about Relay?
Don't get me wrong, apollo is great. And I am going back to android for other OS reasons, I just like it more. I used it my whole "smartphone life" but wanted to try out ios since I saw a deal on an iphone and don't use my phone a ton anymore (I used to install custom rims and just sitch devices in general all the time). I decided to switch back to Android after a little under a year with iOS for smaller reasons like customisability, the Google ecosystem all my shit is in, etc... But to answer your question, some of the things I love about relay that no other app does is the built in browser that functions by just swiping down the bar, I used it a lot to go back and forth between an article some content and the actual reddit comments, I also really like the aesthetic of how it separates posts and comments, the swipe gestures are pretty standard, probably some other things I can't remember but it's probably just a personal feel.
@vinnythegooch9 Same here with iOS. And that makes sense. Shame Reddit had to ruin it for everyone.
