So excited! I'm running the Sync for Lemmy beta right now and it's amazing. It should also have its Google play preload launching any day now with beta release following shortly thereafter.
Edit: sorry, I wasn't trying to hype sync over boost here. I was just saying having boost and sync coming soon together is really exciting!
This is great! Glad to see 3rd parties switching over to something better!
Where did you get the Beta?? I haven't seen anything official!
He dropped a 100 invite private beta yesterday in his discord to get a small team of bug squashers together so he can take it the last mile before release. I just got lucky and was hanging out at the right time. He has a preregistration pending with google (they have to approve it) that he hopes will become available earliest tomorrow. This will allow you to preregister like you can for boost. Then he is hoping by end of week to launch the public beta. He just finished up implementing search (which will come to us in tomorrow's update), and is halfway done implementing messaging. Then there's a high priority comment sorting issue. I think those are the last 3 major bugs he wants worked out before the public beta.
The app is smooth as hell. It's already on Beta 12 as of today with beta 13 coming tomorrow when he wakes up and compiles it. It's not perfect featurewise (yet) but boy does it feel like I'm just using reddit. He has a GitHub issue tracker as well so you can see what isn't working atm if you want.

Tldr: it's not quite ready yet. I still use Jerboa for posting and the web UI for messages and mod tools at the moment, but at his current pace, I don't think I'll be needing multiple for much longer
