I did a poll and nearly 30% of the people who voted said they used Sync! It’s stayed around that percent the whole time too!
EDIT: Here is the poll I forgot to put this here like five times lol https://strawpoll.com/wby5A21R1yA

It’s crazy to me how small the Jereboa usage is. It didn’t collect or share data and has a great interface. What are these other apps giving that makes you want to use them? Genuinely curious on what I’m missing out on.
Give sync a try
You seem biased, ha
^ It’s honestly amazing! (not to say others aren’t, just my personal favorite of the ones I’ve tried)
I used Jerboa until Sync came out.
I liked it fine, no specific complaints I guess except that there was a lot of “jank” for lack of a better word. It just behaved weirdly sometimes, would be unstable, and had odd interfaces for certain tasks.
I would not actively recommend against it, but Sync came along and felt like someone refined Jerboa. It was an easy and natural switch.
Yes this is my main complaint too with Jerboa, scrolling just feels sluggy, I tried to look into the issue/source-code, but couldn’t find the source of it. When Sync came out, everything was buttery smooth and I was sold (though I’m not the biggest fan of the interface, maybe I’ll switch to an open-source client again, when there’s a more robust less sluggish client again).
I mostly use Sync but keep Jerboa installed and every so often play with it as well. They are very similar, but Sync feels more fluent and polished, Jerboa has this “Android 2.1” feel to it
Well, “great interface” is debatable. It is decent, but far from being comparable to Sync. It feels like an Android app that hasn’t received a UI update in quite a bunch of years.
I was using Jerboa can’t remember why I switched to liftoff but it is better I think.
I tried Jerboa and Connect after the Red exodus. They were both alright, but it was still too different from the RIF app that I used on Red. Sync really closed the gap, and feels almost indistinguishable from RIF now.
