Why YSK: looks very similar and functions like Apollo, if you’re used to Apollo that’s a great app for you, even if you do not, it’s still one of the best apps for lemmy You can install the web app here: wefwef.app/settings/install or just use it on your browser here wefwef.app

    It must be amazing if it’s taken you all the way down to 9%!

    With your phone’s last dying breath an inescapable urge came over you to say something nice about wefwef. Then you stood up and finally flushed the toilet.

      This. It’s still the best app for now, but I hate the iOs feeling. I’m waiting for Sync or Boost so much.

    It’s definitely currently the best app out there. However as an android user, the design paradigm feels very alien to me which makes me really miss Sync.

      I’m curious what feels different to you? I came from Sync to Wefwef and it’s been a smooth transition for me. It reminds me of how the sync layout used to be which I never updated from when he switched versions so that may be it.

        Swiping a post away to return to the feed view was huge for me. I also changed the font size, adapted the comment swipe behavior to my liking, disabled various buttons and enabled others. All features that make it feel different for me.

        But I was more talking about the general look and feel of the app which perfectly fits iOS, but not Android. Android usually has a burger menu that opens a sidebar on the left which contains the settings while iOS apps tend to have it in the bottom bar. The login is also mostly in there which is also different from iOS. Things like that.

    Just now I found out that I can’t scroll to top by tapping the top bar of my phone on wefwef (PWA)

    It’s completely broken for me after two days of error messages. It was working okay. I changed nothing and now nothing works art all.

        It’s not. At all. Can’t see anything but posts I commented on. Can’t reply in those. Couldn’t send you a DM. Typing this right through lemmy.world. It’s completely broken and I’m about to delete it and move on.

    It’s surprisingly effective for what is basically a Web container, although it is worth noting it doesn’t work very well if you try and install it via Firefox.

    My biggest issue with it is that it doesn’t run quite as well as a native app, because it basically runs inside of a browser, which might be something to watch out for if you have an older device (and if you have an old iDevice, it doesn’t work at all). It might end up being unusably slow.

      What issues do you have running it via firefox? It seems fine for me, although I didn’t try with chrome

        Personally, I found it to be very sluggish compared to the inbuilt browser/Chrome, and vulnerable to a weird bug that Firefox seems to have on my device, where the entire browser engine stops working if you multitask/switch between apps, being stuck on a blank black/white screen until you close and restart the app.

          Yeah same for me, firefox install feels sluggish whereas it runs smoother and faster with chrome. Maybe it has to do with how every site is optimized for chromium browsers nowadays.

    On Android, I was not able to install it using Firefox (Button was there, but clicking it did nothing), but was using Google Chrome.
