The sync developer has been MIA for a long time (1 year or longer) and I fear it will stop working sooner or later when Lemmy instances start updating to v1.0 in future.
I use Sync because it has a nice Material you theme, is smooth, supports caching posts & media offline (also keeps the comments, posts loaded even if android reclaims memory from the app)
I can open posts, comments, and even communities in a seperate window if I choose to do so.
Anything with multi window support out there yet? I used voyager for posting. But, want sync like multi window capabilities.
Boost is a great alternative if you don't use gestures. Summit is promising and the dev seems very responsive and active. It's the app I personally have the highest hope for should Sync stop working, though it's not at parity yet of course. But the dev seems open to feature requests.
Thunder has been a bit janky and buggy for me but it has potential. Its GitHub is open for both issues and pull requests I think.
