 What's the best android client that's not amethyst 

I have reached my limit on crashes, I cannot take it anymore  
 Primal maybe. I don't get any crashes at all with Amethyst - that sucks to hear 
 Did you try primal? 
 I use primal when Amethyst crashes  
 Primal 
 freerse maybe

i like OxChat a lot too but bugs too

 On iOS, @primal and @damus keep crashing every other day too 
 this is the first I'm hearing about it. I haven't experienced a crash in awhile. what version you on? 
 @damus 1.9 (14) 5c3fc63c 
@primal  1.9.3 
 They alternative as to when they refuse to load new posts, show notifications, make new posts etc 
 You can try ditto.pub installed as a pwa 
 Use Primal for smoothness and kind 1 notes, come back to Amethyst for features and crashes. 
 throw the phone from a moving car on a highway and enjoy the scenery, and use a computer when you come home 
 I've literally never had amethyst crash on me 
 It only crashed when doing @ mentions but even that has been fixed for some time now. 
 Sorry yes, this did happen in the past to me. Not anymore tho, as you said.

 Amethyst runs great for me but I also tried Primal. Make sure to backup your follow list and stuff. Whenever I try different clients something wonky tends to happen to my follow list 
 It was crashing a lot on me too. Then I cleared the cache from the phone settings. No problem since then 
 Oh it's the one I didn't build yet. You can't even imagine how awesome it is  
 Amethyst and NoStrudel (as pwa) is all I flick between on GOS.

I need to try Primal. 
 
 I want to say something about amethyst.

Point 1. Angel
Best client ever. No crashes ever. Clean. No lag ever YES!

Point 2. Demon
Crashing all the time. Crazy stuttering. Nothing helps. Even the simplified and minimal performance options don't help.

Point 3. Solution
And I think I know why. Relays. When I added 30 relays imiedietly amethyst went from angel to demon. Always shitting its pants. So. Just remove all relays and stick to like 5-10 only. Problem solved. 

Seriously. 
 Ok but your profile is sus, who are u fren

 Oh, and the qutting of smoking will be really hard. 25 year old habits don't break in a day. But make no mistake. I believe in you! Like for real I do.

 I use Amethyst with 57 relays, and don't have those issues any greater than when I had 10 relays.
