Hey everyone, I just wanted to provide a big announcement that Thunder is now available on Google Play Store!
The direct link to the Google Play Store listing is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hjiangsu.thunder
As far as general releases go, I’ll try to keep all the different versions in sync (GitHub, Google Play, TestFlight) to minimize the amount of confusion.
I would like to give a big thanks to @CTalvio for helping with the graphics and screenshots that you see on the listing page, and others for contributing to the overall project! This would not be possible without all their help. Thunder is a community-driven project, and all your contributions towards the project help shape the way it is. If you are interested in contributing to Thunder in any way, feel free to reach out!

Yay! This is hands down the best lemmy app so far.
Thunder might be better now with updates but when I sampled all the apps I settled on Liftoff as the best one.
Thunder is picking up momentum. We’re not quite approaching feature parity, but there’s more and more progress being shown off in the dev chat.
I think Thunder has the best design of all of the Android apps that I’ve tried. The only feature that is missing now that I’ve identified as personally wanting is being able to search Lemmy posts and comments (rather than just communities). I’m cool with being patient as more features are added, because overall, Thunder is so enjoyable to use.
Better search is on my list, so I’ll eventually get to that unless someone else on the team does first. Working on sidebars atm.
I like Connect :)
I am using connect right now so they’ll beg to tell me what’s better about thunder
I agree. Love it and get serious RedReader vibes from it
I mean… It’s like the second app for android, I think? Competition is not that fierce.
I count at least four: Thunder, Connect, Jerboa, Liftoff. Five, if you count Voyager (PWA).
There’s also Slide, which is a fork of the old Reddit app. But, that’s not very active. There’s quite a few actually. There was a thread with a bunch linked but I don’t remember where it was posted.
Edit: Found it!
And Summit
Voyager is straight up the best one rn imo
Just wish it were a native app, it lags a bit on my low end phone sometimes
