Use to use sync a lot but I gotta say summit has been working really really well. The dev is active and has actually fixed a bug I posted about in their community.
I've tried most apps, but I'm perfectly OK with the Firefox on Android web experience for Lemmy.
I've had no complaints about it, it doesn't annoy me about downloading an app like most other mobile websites. So, sometimes, simplicity is best.
Ha, I was going to say jerboa is my favorite so far.
I'm having a different experience, haven't had any bugs and the updates seem to add features/stability without introducing any bugs on my device, I'm also on Android.
What kind of things are making it unusable for you?

Connect nice clean UI and whery stable
The one I’m using is becoming so buggy to the point of being unusable. It was never really great tbh, what are most people using?
It would probably help if you mentioned which app you are having issues with and what device you are using. I recently stopped using Jerboa because of login issues and started using Voyager. I find it's less of a smooth experience but some of the other bugs I had with Jerboa like back spacing removing the space before the previous word aren't present.
As an added question, are bookmarks associated with the lemmy account or the app?

Ya it's jerboa, I didn't want to shoot them in the foot in case it's only me. It's also free, so I don't want to complain too much.
It keeps resetting my feed to local active after I scroll past a dozen posts. I do quite enjoy the feel of it though.
Interesting, I've been using jerboa since the great migration,and while it has had its moments, it's overall been a smooth and enjoyable ride. Early on I had an issue like you're describing with the sort types, but not in many versions. 0.0.55 is the latest play store version. Might be worth clearing data and cache and re-logging in if you are already on latest
haven't seen any comments mentioning connect yet, so that would be my recommendation. by far the most fully featured and smooth lemmy app imo and its my favorite. I've used most other apps but I always come back to connect because of all the different ways I can customize it and all the settings I can change that I simply don't see in a lot of other apps.
I have tried a vast majority of them and there were many I like some features of, but they end up falling to the way side. I always go back to using, "Connect" For Lemmy. Has every thing I want.
Agreed love connect. I can block both communities and specific people.
Getting rid of all the niche porn and junk articles from certain bots improved user experience a great deal.
Layout is reminiscent to reddit is fun which was my personal fave application. RIP.
Does connect have mark read on scroll? Seems that's missing from boost. :(

I float between Connect and Boost. Both excellent.
I'm enjoying liftoff. I'm a former Relay user and this feels closest.
Sadly, Liftoff doesn't work with 0.19 and doesn't look like it's getting any further attention from it's developer.
I tried Sync, Boost and many others. They all feel bloated and some have ads. I went back to Jerboa and never looked back. I do miss some features from Sync. Like the advanced search function. But they'll probably come soon.
For iOS the only one that can do swipe right to go back anywhere on the screen is LiftOff. It’s a crucial feature for me so there are sadly no alternatives.
