I just use my mobile browser (firefox for android) to view it.

I like Voyager a lot but it might be iOS only.

No it is not, even though the Android app also uses that weird style

Idk, I've tried a few but still like Boost; just can't get into Jerboa or Liftoff, which I tried. It's mostly just their ad network being meh


though I mostly just get crappy fake gameplay ads, and not enough to bother me. I'm not even sure if they're targeting me, cause if they are, they're pretty bad at it.

Unfortunately I'm sure the app developer doesn't get much say, virtually all mobile app networks are cancer.

Wait, Boost has ads? I've literally never seen an ad.

I have Boost, but I haven't seen any ads like that before. The main one I use is Jerboa though.

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 5 points 9 months ago

I paid $3.49 to support the developers and the ads go away as a bonus.

I use the webpage as a webapp. It's adless.

Lemmy website does provide official PWA app.

On iOS: Safari > Lemmy website > Hit share button > Add to home screen. On android, I assume steps will be similar.

I wholeheartedly recommend PWA app as such is published by the publisher of website itself, and I don’t need to download it either from official or 3rd party store.

In case you don’t know, PWA is basically a web app, running using your browser engine, which has almost same look-n-feel of native app.

Wefwef. It's so normal.

Connect does not have ads

[-] danie10@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago

I'm reading this on Boost (once off payment) and no ads...

I take it schools aren't teaching tech literacy. We wouldn't want the kids to get in the way of our overlord marketing agencies.
