I’ve tried multiple Reddit apps in the past, from the official one to Boost to RiF, yet all of them used way more battery charge for the same amount of browsing I do on Jerboa.
This is great! Well done devs!
In the age of 500 mb apps, a 18 mb one is a breath of fresh air.
I’m also using barely any data.
And the accessibility. More things need screen reader labelsas i am stuck using the web ui and would rather use the app
I used Infinity for a while and liked it, but now that things have changed, I had to adapt to a new environment like Jerboa. But Jerboa is not bad, in fact it’s really nice, it’s just a matter of time before I get used to it.
Jerboa’s UX is based on Boost for Reddit UX.
Boost is the best app by far
I would argue that is a tie between RedReader and RIF.
No point arguing, they all going to die 😢
I hope Jerboa becomes as feature rich as Infinity someday.
I do find the light and simple nature of this app to be highly appealing. Just give me some comments sorting options and fix the bugs with images and then I’d say this app is perfect
And let me change the size of the fonts! For some reason the comments aren’t changed by the settings.
Also, changing fonts.
Yah, I’ve got the same experience. 🙁
Is it possible to collapse comments on Jerboa? If not a tap to collapse is my #1 feature request. Comment sorting would also be awesome. EDIT: Figured it out! Holding down horizontally next to a commenter’s name will collapse! (With a slick animation), however I saw someone saying a newer release of Jerboa will have tap anywhere to collapse in comments.
Yep tap to collapse is working for me
I didn’t know about this, thanks!
Related, having no trackers show up in TrackerControl for it is also very satisfying.
It’s extremely efficient, particularly on iOS
I haven’t tried it, I’m OK with using the browser. :)
I mainly use apps to be able to switch between apps using one switch apps button. Browsers like sleeping unused tabs and you can’t just use the switch apps button to browse both the internet and the funny in intervals of dopamine-fueled multi-tasking.
