Today I was finally able to download Boost for Lemmy. It looks really good. I inmediately bought the ad-free version. There are still some key features missing: the ability to hide posts, the ability to open community links and when I logged in for the very first time, the app semi-crashed and everything went dark. I had to restart the app and log in again. But apart from that, I really like it.
It also “crashed” and restarted for me on first boot, but has not done so again. Working nice and stable.
Boost is great!
My only critique is a feature request: can we get biometric lock when switching accounts?
And thus begins my journey into lemmy
The pricing is way more reasonable than sync. I’m still sticking with connect but at least this dev is not asking for much.
Yeah, I’m still on Connect as well. At this point, I see no reason to change, despite being a Boost user for years with reddit.
If it ain’t broke…
For me it just have too many bugs that aren’t being fixed.
Nothing major, just little annoying things like if you edit a comment it closes out of the thread. Or if you make a comment it scrolls to the top of the thread. Why?
I’ve just tested it and boost doesn’t do either of those things.
Boost is definitely a little better than connect. It also just has a feeling of being a little more solid and I can’t even say specifically why. That’s worth considering for me
Idk about you, but I paid less than the max it shows for the price in my country on the Play Store. It may be down to localised pricing or maybe I paid during some promotion.
Long term sustainability is going to be challenging. The Lemmy userbase is way smaller than reddit’s regardless, and for 3.50 EUR one-off it will be challenging to cover future development efforts.
I was waiting for this app to release before I even signed up to be honest!
Welcome!
Thank you:D
Boost has been my favorite for a while and I’ve been waiting for this to make the switch. This is my first time using Lemmy. Instant rocket boost from me!
I love Boost, I bought it for Reddit. However, I got used to Connect now. The swipe to upvote and hide are intuitive to me now.
Instantly bought the ads removal, Boost was THE reddit app for me. I’m stoked to see it for Lemmy.
Instantly paid for the ad free version even though I’m rocking an ad blocker. This is a pristine app, every bit as good as the original Reddit app.
This is my assessment too, although I really like Jerboa so I’m waiting to purchase this. We’ll see how it holds up.

You can’t change the primary background color outside of theme presets? That means I can’t make it dark and pink, which is a deal breaker when I have such a gorgeous Sync theme going. I’ll keep it downloaded, though. There were things I liked about it for reddit. I may come back around.
Sync’s theming is unmatched

Asking for your theme
I miss the hide button near the bottom right of the screen. I love to remove all the read posts with a single button.
Blessing from the lords
