I've been using it over the last few days and I'm pretty impressed with it so far. Before that I was using connect, then sync but didn't like the ads and insane prices, also tried out a few others but ultimately settled with infinity.

I've been using infinity for reddit ever since sync died and I find infinity for lemmy is quite polished and runs the smoothest out of all the apps I've tried, even smoother then sync for lemmy. The only bug I've ran into is trying to press the profile button on the navigation draw at the bottom crashes the app but it still works from the hamburger menu. I like that I have two of the same apps for both reddit and lemmy that are identical in both looks and usage too.

Sync for Reddit was one of the more popular Reddit apps on Android. (Maybe even the biggest?) Now that Reddit has stopped being reasonable with their API fees, the developer of Sync has been working on a Lemmy client using the same name. It released a couple days ago.

Most of the other Lemmy clients on Android are free and open source, but Sync is closed source and will be ad supported unless users pay a $20 one-time fee to remove ads or pay for a subscription to get some additional features. Because Sync is closed source, there's no way for users to audit what data the app is collecting or sending out.

Many users are using Sync because it's familiar and has a high degree of polish and functionality thanks to being a fork of a very well established app. Its popularity, along with the issues I mentioned above have got a vocal portion of the user base railing against the app and another vocal portion of the user base defending it.

It definitely is, but mostly because it's got 10 years of a head start UX wise since it used to be a reddit app.

Shhhh. I couldn't find an equivalent meme with Android (I didn't even notice TBH), so pretend I hacked an iPhone to run android 😂.
