I've just installed thunder.
Pros setup was super easy although it initially said my instance didnt exist then suddenly found it
Cons Long pressing a comment and getting an overlay popup in order to upvote a comment is very annoying
I'll leave it installed but its not for me right now.
Has anyone found anything else good ?
I tried Thunder but never vibed with personally. The by far best app for me after giving up on Sync was Summit. Which also, if you're annoyed with ljdawson's absence the Summit dev is like the polar opposite.
After testing a lot, I switched to Summit, it's been great.
I'll second summit. Been using it for about 6 months or so. The app gets updated regularly and the dev is active.
swipe to upvote / downvote / etc instead
It's just gonna take some getting used to
A lot of the long/short press stuff is configurable and gesture based (swiping left and right) is the fast way to interact. Which I was using the swiping on sync. Also configurable.
OK so that works but is awfully clunky - swipe partway right to upvote and fully right to downvote as opposed to tapping on the up / down arrow.
Yeah if that's not configurable I'm out. And I'm damned if I can work out where to configure it
EDIT
OK, it's settings, appearance, comments, show comments action buttons.
With that usability hurdle cleared, OK, I'll give it a burl
Thanks for detailing where to find that.
I was put off by the description of the app, but knowing that some customisation is possible means I'll probably give it a go now.
Enable the option to show the action buttons: Thunder Setting: Comments > General > Show Comment Action Buttons
OK maybe I'm thick but that's not what I see on my menu - I'm on android in case there's an ios thing happening here.
From the main screen there's 5 buttons along the bottom - right hand one is settings.
There is no comment option listed. If I go to general then there is a comment subsection (opposite order to above) but it only has comment sort, hide parent, enable comment navigation and combine fab & nav buttons.
So is it one of the last two I need to change ?
I'm on Android, too. I copied the link to the setting but it does indeed have the wrong text. No idea why and sorry about that!
Clicking on the link in my comment using Thunder should let you jump straight to the setting.
If that doesn't work, it's in Appearance, then Comments.
Hey no worries, sorry if that came across a bit harshly.
I ended up finding the right setting eventually - but thank you very much for the reply
Thanks friend, i also just switched from sync to thunder, and this was my biggest gripe. Appreciate you xoxo
I recommend Voyager. Also has an app. Same feature set as sync. Also with hide item on scroll.
Will give it a try too
I've been enjoying Summit! It does piefed too!
