I went to the playstore, and looked for boost. Although it's not yet released, it already lists the data that will be collected (quite a lot).

Meanwhile jerboa states that it collects and shares no data. It has room for improvement, but it's fully functional and fits my needs for browsing Lemmy.

Jerboa seems to work fine for me. Reviews complained about minor issues and crashing but I haven't experienced any of that.

Didn't have any crashes, the only small issue I have is that scrolling isn't always very smooth, although it's better with the latest release.

For me, scrolling was very laggy on jerboa. Liftoff is silky smooth.

When I first started it was super buggy and couldn't even login properly but checked in after a while and its working pretty well now. Ig those are old reviews before they fixed all the issues.

Connect doesn't collect or share any data either. I've personally had a better experience with Connect than I had with Jerboa.

I only had issues with jerboa when they were unable to update the instance. Now that that's done it's been fine for me.

I like the way jerboa handles the UI better than Connect. I've used WefWef as well and I keep coming back to jerboa.
