I've tested many, but I always end up coming back to Jerboa.

Wefwef until it exploted on lemmy.world, Jerboa is dead with lemmy.world as well...
Man, lemmy.world really needs to fix their instance to make it at time when "the big migration" happens.
For now I'm using Liftoff and Connect, with honorable mentions to Lemming and Thunder.
Actually I use all of them lol.
Jerboa is the best Boost-like app for me but Liftoff has been a good alternative to .17 instances
I'm using Jerboa
Jerboa, but can't wait for Sync to be released. If it's anything like the Reddit app, it'll be amazing (obviously after many iterations and testing etc).
Started with Jerboa, but it started crashing on me yesterday (plus, it apparently isn't working right now with lemmy.world). So I tried Liftoff yesterday, which I'm using to comment this. Definitely going to Sync again once it's done!
Connect for Lemmy at the moment, as it has a very similar interface to sync, but I've signed up to be notified when Sync for Lemmy drops. Sync had everything I wanted for my Reddit app, and I'm hoping for a similar interface for Lemmy when it arrives.
Boost for Lemmy when it comes out. Been using Boost since 2017 and I hope to continue doing so!
Same here, loved Boost
Using Jerboa right now, but to be frank: I haven't tried any other apps, because I am actually waiting for Slide, so whenever that launches I'll switch.
I use Liftoff and also test Thunder. Liftoff has a complete search function and Thunder a very pleasant UI.
Jerboa doesn't work with my instance at the moment, as it still runs on version 0.17.4.
Only used connect so far so can't comment on the others. Feels nice and smooth, looks great and has some nice features. Liftoff seems to be the go to here, might check it out.
I am using jerboa but really miss redreader, the creator floated making it support lemmy and I am excited for that possibility but am sticking with jerboa for now.
I want whatever is closest to Baconreader
Jerboa for now. The other ones I've tried were not information dense, only showing 3 or 4 posts on screen at a time, or had other issues. Looking forward to trying Artemis and Sync.
New user here. I use the Web app for now. Connect seems to make my phone freeze for whatever reason and I can't seem to login with jerboa because "my server version is too low"...
Thunder is pretty gorgeous with some issues.
I use Liftoff it's clean app for Lemmy.
Newbie here. Just installed Jerboa and two minutes later it shows "Network error". Installed Wefwef and it's ok. Taking notes to try the other ones.
Still learning about Lemmy and the communities to have an accurate opinion.
Thunder and jerboa
I'm on kbin, so i guess i get no app until artemis is out :(
I'm not using lemmy but kbin. I'm just using the app shortcut that you can create in Chrome on Android. It works well enough for now
Still on my phone browser. So far not seeing any downside to it compared to PC browsing, so I think this will be fine.
I'm using Lemmy as an android pwa. Works well. I liked Jerboa but it was too buggy.
Thunder for me
Personally, I use Jerboa on mobile. It's got its own problems and compatibility issues, but they're also not so significant that it makes me want to go use another app, and with lemmy.world still being on an older version that probably isn't compatible with most apps that work for 0.18 and above, the risk of breaking everything makes it not that worthwhile.
If Sync for Lemmy releases with half of the features and polish of the Reddit version, it's going to default to be the app of choice.
