What Lemmy Client are you Android users using in 2026? (feddit.uk)

What client do Android users use for Lemmy these days? I've been using Jerboa from the start but it's a bit basic and lacks any good search functionality. So I want to try some others. What do other Android users recommend?

Things I like about Jerboa:

It just works. It's pretty simple.
It has actual private browsing in app. You never have to leave the app and it knows how to never save your history.
It can do the above even when setting your main browser to Firefox (so as blocking works even in open links in app).

Things I don't like about Jerboa:

Text entry is oftentimes buggy.
Lack of any decent search for communities or in threads.
No draft capability.

Most of the time, sync, because I prefer my scrolling and reading on a tablet, and having dual columns that are easy to parse is more important than most other factors.

Boost is my backup for the same reason, since so far all the otherwise great lemmy first apps don't do dual column well, when they do it at all.

That being said, check out connect, summit, and thunder. All damn fine apps overall
