Liftoff is good, but it needs UX design overhaul. Connect is good after recent update. I switched from Liftoff to Connect.

I'd like the ability to open links with my browser of choice instead of the default in-app browser.
I don't like the way it has a different color than the status bar. Looks jarring and incomplete.
You can change app colors in settings.
It's not really a color problem. It's the fact that the gray in the app is not the same shade as the gray in the status bar. Jerboa and other apps make it so seamless, it turns me off in Liftoff. Waiting for Sync/Boost for Lemmy.

Oooh, just tried it and it looks pretty nice so far!!

It's pretty nice, definitely prettier than jerboa. I still haven't found an app that will let me swipe between post comment sections like Joey (for reddit) could. Heck, even the official reddit app could do it, it's like the only feature it had that all of the 3rd party apps don't. Once I find an app that can do that, I'll probably stick with it

My only gripe is that there does not seem to be a "context" button as the website has when people reply to my comments. Other than that, seems pretty solid.

It's 2nd best to wefwef.app. The only thing wefwef needs is a grey theme, then it would be perfect. Also it's web based and no dedicated app. But the PWA app is quite good.
I like the minimalistic approach of Lerboa, but liftoff looks really solid. Totally see why it would appeal more to general masses, it's beautiful!
Jerboa is good. But Liftoff is better feature wise π

The interface is fast on an oldish Android tablet and I like the way images swipe up and away smoothly. But I couldn't vote or comment on non-local posts that I could do on Connect. Not sure if that was a config setting I missed though.
