Hey everyone, I just wanted to provide a big announcement that Thunder is now available on Google Play Store!
The direct link to the Google Play Store listing is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hjiangsu.thunder
As far as general releases go, I’ll try to keep all the different versions in sync (GitHub, Google Play, TestFlight) to minimize the amount of confusion.
I would like to give a big thanks to @CTalvio for helping with the graphics and screenshots that you see on the listing page, and others for contributing to the overall project! This would not be possible without all their help. Thunder is a community-driven project, and all your contributions towards the project help shape the way it is. If you are interested in contributing to Thunder in any way, feel free to reach out!
If you would like to join in on the conversation for Thunder, we have a Matrix page here: https://matrix.to/#/#thunderapp:matrix.org
If you would like to check out the GitHub page, it is linked here: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder
You must log in or register to comment.
Excellent news, although the app is kinda broken to me since like the last version I guess.
It sticks within the menus and it is slow on average, I clean installed the PlayStore version to start clean but still have the same experience.
Hmm, could you open up an issue on GitHub regarding this? In general, I think Thunder should be fairly well optimized for most devices
If you could provide some more details about your device and OS version, we might be able to trace down the issue!
Congrats on the Play Store release! Thunder is a fantastic Lemmy app, and is progressing along blazingly fast!

Great for me so far, except I’m not liking the last comment in a thread being cut off.
The box for typing comments is also a bit weird, as is attaching photos to posts.
How do I delete my comment?
I don’t know if this is the right place but the issues I noticed are:
- All posts seem to be blended into each other because of the bad default dark theme
- No way to delete my own comments
- After I deleted my comment from a different lemmy client, it is not reflected here, even if I restart the app
- More precise text size controls needed. The default text size is too small
There are a lots of things that Thunder does perfectly fine. I can’t list all those here
You can edit your comment by swiping from left to right on it. Cant delete it yet though
This one is my app of choice!

This is how my recent weeks have been:
If I originally downloaded and installed from GitHub, do I need to install the Google Play instance for Thunder to automatically update?
You would have to uninstall and reinstall it if you want to switch between the GitHub and Play Store versions!
Thank you! I will do that, only because I like the automatic updates vs pulling it from GitHub for each new version
Is there a reason why in so many apps (this was the case on many Reddit apps as well) the thumbnails never fill out the entire actual available space in compact mode? Why do they have to be so extra tiny when there’s so much empty space left?
It’s compact mode. The images are compact.
The images don’t have to be more compact than the minimum available space of the rows. That’s stupid.
I read your comment wrong
Edit: I just checked and the images are tiny, i’d file a bug report
This and Connect seems to be the best ones currently for Android from the limited amount of time I’ve been using them…
At first glance, the design overall is more Material You in Thunder, however it lacks support of high refresh rate
Wow this app is amazing!
Just installed. Love to have a hide feature that could be implemented with gesture/swiping as well.
What is the difference with Connect? Genuinely just curious.
For one, Connect is not FOSS (as of writing), while Thunder is. But that’s a question with a hundred answers. Check it out and find out for yourself.
I think this is the best Lemmy client on Android so far, but the font kinda throws me away. I wish I could have the OS font instead of a different one.
