Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.
Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

It'd be better to just drop it at this point and focus on Lemmy. It's causing people to get fustrated. The other apps are doing a much bettter job now.
Which one would you recommend for Android?
I can recommend, for Android:
Connect
Liftoff
Thunder
I'm using all 3, plus Jerboa, as they are all fantastic apps. At some point I'll just stick with one, but it's exciting following the development of these apps. Use Obtainium to keep them up to date (although Connect is Google Play only).
I've had trouble logging in on liftoff, it doesn't recognize any of the instances I have accounts on.
I had to use my email rather than username, though I'm aware not all instances require one.
There's a comprehensive list of Lemmy apps being curated here.
My personal recommendation is https://wefwef.app.
I'm using Jerboa to submit this comment. Hopefully it's working for you now? Could be a phone-specific issue I suppose.
Liftoff is the best app right now.
Have you tried https://wefwef.app?
Wefwef is great
Another vouch for wefwef, it’s been my preferred app
I moved to liftoff and signed up for the sync newsletter. You can just download the liftoff APK and install without much hassle.
Or use Obtanium to get it!
This is the client I was using and it just won't start anymore. I'll try again later but guess I'll try another client in the meantime.
I've just downloaded Liftoff. It's pretty nice. And it works:) 😁
I found that clearing cache and data fixed it for me but ymmv
Just clear data and cache and it'll work
No it won't
