I want to like Jerboa. I really do. It has support for a lot of features Voyager doesn’t, like Matrix linking in profiles and full fledged CommonMark including spoilers which distressingly few Android clients support properly coughcoughSynccough. But it’s just so irritating to use. The recently added swipe gestures are so sensitive you can’t scroll unless you swipe perfectly straight up and down and there’s that bug with predictive text and deleting the space before a word when you press Backspace at the end instead of deleting the last letter which they still have not fixed.
I literally just tested Jerboa, Thunder and Voyager on my Android phone. Jerboa is ok, the UI was too immutable, like an IOS product. Thunder is a closer call to Voyager, it has a better search engine with more options but Voyager after tweaking has the best reading experience IMHO
Voyager is smoother than Jerboa imo
hard disagree
Same, Jerboa rules

You can disable swipe gestures in Jerboa
But…but swipe gestures.
I love that feature and I’m glad Jerboa finally has it. I just wish it was less sensitive.
I turned off the swipe stuff. The predictive stuff i didn’t know about since i don’t use it 😅
The truth is there, Jerboa consume more ressources than Voyager or has a less lightweight ui than Voyager
