 I read many eager to have Damus on Android, I have never tried it so I have this doubt:
What does Damus have on iOS that Amethyst or Primal on Android don't have?🤔

Thanks for those who are willing to answer 🙏 
 I started with Damus. I like it far more than Primal. I've had many issues with Primal. Not sure why exactly. Ameythst seems to be my favorite though now that I've switched to Android a few months ago. Still, I'm excited for Damus on Android! 
 Can confirm. Had a lot of UI glitches in Primal. 
 Thanks for confirming. Anytime someone tells me they can't zap me I ask what client they are using, and the response is always Primal. 
 Ok but then compared to Amethyst, for example, what does it have better? The UI? The speed? The search? Does Damus have the marketplace? Does it have groups? Does it have a photo gallery? I don't understand... 
 maybe just try it when you can. 
 I don't have an iPhone and I have no intention of buying one, so I'm waiting for explanations from those who have tested Damus and Amethyst  
 iPhone users don't understand 
 It's probably me who doesn't understand, I wouldn't blame iPhone users. 
 They have a habit of just accepting things handed to them and thinking it's the best tech they've ever seen lol 
 I think Damus is just a much simpler UI and UX. Much more oriented for beginners.

I like to think of Ameythst as the Swiss Army Knife of Nostr Clients. I prefer it for a lot of reasons, but Damus would be much better for beginners that are new to Nostr. I would much rather promote Damus to folks I know to get them started using Nostr.

Primal is simple setup for beginners, but as I said before so many issues. 
 As far as I'm concerned, Primal, being Italian, has only one flaw: no translation service, not even third-party ones.
Otherwise it has improved a lot and the search works better than Amethyst, both for users and topics.
