I’m a Mlem guy myself. I like a well designed and native (Swift on Apple platforms) UI. I’ve been absolutely loving it! I can’t say I used Liftoff for very long when I was testing as I ruled it out due to its non native UI relativity quickly haha. But as far as apps go, it looked alright. Just not for me. It sounds like there are many out there loving it (Liftoff)!

I think it's missing a few key features. But for the most part I really like it

honestly i kinda like it but it is also a bit messy and buggy, and it also has a lot of things that heavily annoy me into using the website on mobile

the main problem is any time i get a reply, i tap the link to go to the reply and it goes to the post without context, what a mess

i also can't see new comments i post without reloading

idk if they fixed it but b4 i couldn't delete or edit posts/comments which was like ???

i do think it's way better than jerboa for many things, especially for a multi-account user who likes to swap onto other instances a lot. but its room to grow is obviously enormous. I won't try to discredit the devs, this is an amazing app for something so early in the game.

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.

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.

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.

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

I was using connect and preferred that, but it stopped working on me. I use liftoff now. Dont like it as much, but it allows you to navigate to other instances easier

I liked it so much that now I'm using it on my Linux install.

Good UX so far! Boost seems popular so will try that. But liftoff is great.
