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.

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.
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.
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.
They’re all pretty early in development so they have their bugs but so far I like Liftoff and Thunder the best. They both have a great UI. Jerboa was the one I started with first but now I am not able to login because of the whole lemmy.world version number thing.
Not OP but I did the same. Tbh none of them are perfect, they still have all kinds of quirks and bugs. But new versions are coming out all the time. Today Jerboa and Connect were working better than the others. Tomorrow who knows. 😄
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.

I used it, had problems, dropped it. Using Connect now. Wefwef is good if you like PWAs.
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
The only one I could find on the Play store is Liftoff. I guess the others have to be downloaded from elsewhere.
You can download Thunder from IzzyOnDroid (you can add this as a repository to F-Droid).
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.

What’s Summit? Never heard of it.

Oh that’s beautiful! I look forward to giving it a go!

It’s working just fine here. Latest Jerboa from F-Droid, just updated, on latest Android.
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.
Crashing on start in Android 14 b3
It’s not working for me. So I switched to Liftoff.
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!
I changed some settings to make it look better to me. I’m happiest with liftoff right now.
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?
They’re all pretty early in development so they have their bugs but so far I like Liftoff and Thunder the best. They both have a great UI. Jerboa was the one I started with first but now I am not able to login because of the whole lemmy.world version number thing.
I see. Imma go and try liftoff and thunder then , thanks you very much.

Give Thunder a shot. I really like it
My issue is not being available from a platform. Downloading an unknown apk is more risk than how evil the Play store is.
Is it available on an Fdroid repo? I didn’t find it on the main one.
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 cleared the app data and that fixed it, but signed me out of beehaw and I can’t get back into my normal account on my phone until it’s updated.
It was working for me with some glitches (for example always opening with sorting all/hot instead of what I had set up, subscribed/new).
Then yesterday it auto updated, and the glitches are gone.
I had to reset the whole app
Same happened to me. Just update it and it should work again. Jerboa requires the latest update to work from my experience.
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.
Seeing the same here for my lemmy.world account. Strong recommend for Connect as an alternative.
