Does anyone else use the android app Connect for Lemmy? It reminds me of Infinity for Reddit. If you use it, do you like it better than Jerboa? I also found another new Lemmy app called Liftoff.

Same. I prefer it to Jerboa. But I am disquieted by the currently unverified post stating that it might be full of trackers.
Tested Connect using three different privacy apps and none of them found any trackers. I don't know if I can trust the source of that post. Instead of blindly taking my word for it you should also conduct your own tests.
you might want to re-evaluate how you are scanning for trackers. I am running duck duck go's app tracking protection on Android and this is it's summary of connect for lemmy from the past 22 hours.
1175 tracking attempts blocked from 40 different companies(trackers)

That is concerning. Connect is not open-source I guess?
