The official app could be described as "functional". This is a native android app and (imo) looks better.
It seems to be missing SSO login support and Android Auto. The official app does so I feel like that makes it more functional than Lissen. At least for me.
Yes, that's one half of what I was getting at. The other half is that it doesn't prioritise aesthetics.
Listen prioritises aesthetics, but is lacking in function. For me, the missing functionality isn't important.
There's no single right answer.
Oh I see. When I read your first comment I understood 'functional' to mean more like "it works but not very well". I did see in the github issues that they are working on SSO and Android Auto so when that comes I'll give it a try.
Sounds similar to the case with Jellyfin & Findroid (and likely Swiftfin)
The official Jellyfin app has full functionality, but it feels clunky. Especially for casual users.
The native third party app is smooth, intuitive, and visually nice, but is missing a few features (ex. Admin dashboard).
What I've seen recommended was:
💯 I see it the same way.
