For the past day or so every time I try to open Jerboa it just crashes immediately without an error message why. Is there any scheduled update/fix for Jerboa? I’d like to be able to browse on mobile again and really enjoyed the app while it was working.

I have the same issue. Deleting app data and cache stopped the crash at the start, but I cannot log into my account. It seems the reason for the crash was that the lemmy instance I’m on (and that I was still logged into) uses version 17.x, when Jerboa requires 18.x.
They fixed it this morning, but it’s still being buggy for me. I think it’s more on Lemmy’s/.world’s side, at this point. That being said, I’m starting to like wefwef a lot.
It’s not working for me. So I switched to Liftoff.
Same. Won’t let me log in. Liftoff is fantastic though!
Try Thunder: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder
You can install and autoupdate using: https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium
I already have Thunder, Connect, Summit, Liftoff and Jerboa. I just thought I would play with all of them for a few weeks until I find the one I like best.
You should also check out wefwef. It’s very full-featured already and is getting updated constantly.
I did it. It just looks very specifically designed in the style of iOS. It’s not bad though.
How you like them so far? Anything you are partial about?
Same here. Liftoff is great.
Try connect
Just installed liftoff to try it out and unfortunately have to say that I like the layout even BETTER than Jerboa!
I feel a weird sense of loyalty to Jerboa because it was my first app for Lemmy but I might actually like Liftoff better.
Thanks for the suggestion!
- Force stop the app
- Clear cache
- Clear local data
- Relaunch and log in
- …
- Profit
Cool now it just crashes immediately after launch.
This didn’t work for me. I had to find a forked version that supported lemmy.world’s “outdated server”.
I can only read and comment on the web right now, which is fine. I just assume the apps will clear up in a day or two.
I am using webweb.app which is a PWA Apollo clone. Its a bit weird cause the UI is iOS based, but it’s by far the smoothest and full featured all I tried so far!
Scrolling is like butter, I can customize text size, and from comment reply notifications it actually directly opens the thread to the comment, and also highlights the comment which i love! Is liftoff and thunder similarly full featured?
I think you meant wefwef.app?
Oops, pesky autocorrect. This also has infinite scrolling which I didn’t even realize at first and what made the Lemmy feel so clunky on mobile before - that is definitely the biggest thing that makes this my favorite now.
Crashing for me. Switched to Connect. Works well… except you can’t pinch zoom images, which is a huge problem…
Connect dev here. It’s coming!
Connect is working the wellest for me
I was using Jerboa and I switched to connect and I can confirm. It works much weller.
Same here. Jeroba would randomly crash. Connect hasn’t yet.
Connect dev here. Weller is what I strive for! Glad you’re enjoying it.
I downloaded thunder from izzydroid and can confirm i am welled by the performance.

I find wefwef works the wellest (so far, anyway)
I’m currently using wefwef to reply to you, I use them both interchangeably, but Connect has more formatting options in the markdown editor, whereas Wefwef expects you to just remember how to format anything in markdown. Both experience errors constantly.
I’m using this fork and it works flawlessly with lemmy.world.
(a few eventual crashes, but it’s rare)
Was CTD all morning forw but now working
I had to reset the whole app
Yesterday when I tried, it told me that the instance wasn’t up to date and didn’t work, so I tried a different app. Liftoff is proving to be my favorite so far.
Latest Jerboa requires a specific server version and not every server has updated yet.
There are a lot of other app options! Like Thunder, Connect or Summit
What’s Summit? Never heard of it.
Dev of Summit here. It is a lemmy reader like the other apps mentioned. You can find it on the play store by searching “app for lemmy” or “lemmy reader”. I’m actually releasing a big update today. Here’s a preview of the feature: https://youtube.com/shorts/8mIVZflUHhU?feature=share.
Oh that’s beautiful! I look forward to giving it a go!
The only one I could find on the Play store is Liftoff. I guess the others have to be downloaded from elsewhere.
Summit should be on the playstore. Try searching “app for lemmy” or “lemmy reader”.
I found Summit later on, and it didn’t work well for me.
Oh no :(. If you’re up for it, I am open to feedback. You can send feedback either here or over at https://lemmy.world/c/summit. But if you don’t want to I understand.
Well it was as laggy as the other apps, because of the update and the increase of signups. Also I found it difficult to navigate, to find the right buttons to push to access a certain thing. I know it’s early days and I’m sure your app will improve in time, and I’ll try it again later.
Seeing the same here for my lemmy.world account. Strong recommend for Connect as an alternative.

This is being discussed in https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] too. You might want to check out that Community.
There’s a comprehensive list of Lemmy apps being curated here.
My personal recommendation is https://wefwef.app.
I’ve been periodically installing and uninstalling it on my phone for the past 10 days. Never managed to launch it. Crashes after a second or two every time.
