Is Jerboa for Lemmy crashing for anyone else?

I've been using Jerboa for Lemmy for my Beehaw account since the Migration. At first it worked fine. Then I started getting an error message about the version of Lemmy being used on the instance. But for the last couple of days it has been crashing immediately on opening:

Jerboa Error Message

Is anyone else having this problem? Can anyone recommend an alternative app?

Thanks!

Switched to liftoff and continue enjoying fediverse.
- I'm on Beehaw and can confirm that Liftoff is already miles ahead of Jerboa.
  
  Thanks for the recommendation. Have just installed and connected back to Beehaw.
- Liftoff is great! Thanks for commenting about it. I was really frustrated with Jerboa for not even allowing me to log in to Beehaw, and Connect's really bad interface that makes it hard to read anything.
- @pztrn
  Wow... It's awesome 😎, thank you..
  @BobQuasit @technology
- Play Store link
- I switched to Liftoff from Jerboa, and am enjoying the Liftoff experience thus far. Works with Beehaw just fine.
- Switched to listoff which also didn't work for some reason, then to connect. I also tried thunder, which works as well.
  
  Liftoff is working for me and even let's me seemlessly browse my beehaw and sh.itjust.works acct. If I'm on a beehaw post (like this) is automatically let's me comment under my account here.
  
  Really nice for when you are part of multiple communities.
Yup Jerboa became very unstable so I switched to Connect for Lemmy. Smooth ride now. :)
- Glad you're enjoying Connect!
  
  I'm enjoying it, too. The only thing that annoys me is how hard/hidden it is to subscribe to communities.
  
  When I'm seeing an interesting community under top of interesting content from a community I might be interested in, it's such a chore to find a subscribe button.
Deleting storage and cache (both) worked for me.
- Yes thanks that worked!
Yep, I'm using wefwef.app now, which is also very nice. Still have Jerboa installed for when it'll be compatible with beehaw again.
Haven't had any issues with crashing on Jerboa 0.0.34 on Android 13
Yep crashes upon opening it today
Jerboa started crashing for me around the time they did an update that required a newer lemmy version. I've been using Liftoff and that's working pretty well so far. I'm trying to stay open to different apps because they're all pretty new and none that I've tried have been exactly what I'm looking for yet.
I believe Lemmy updated, I was having issues until I got an update for jerboa.
As @dark_stang@beehaw.org mentioned, the progressive web app works really well. To use it, from any major browser on your phone, open up the options menu and click "install app" or "add to phone." It'll add an "app" to your phone which is actually a slimmed down version of your browser with the address bar and menus and whatnot removed.
Worked fine until yesterday evening. This morning (i.e. now) it instantly crashes
Yes, Jerboa crashes instantly, feddit.de Front Page is constantly refreshing (web) , Connect won't show any comments, wefwef cannot block communities from showing in my timeline

Great timing, now that many of us are coming from Reddit...
it's been crashing ever since that version error message started appearing. I have since uninstalled it and am just accessing beehaw using my mobile browser. It's actually pretty good. Sure I know there are other apps in development but I would like them to mature a bit more before I try to get into them, especially considering my buggy experience with jerboa.
Yes, same here.
After updating to the latest version I can't sort my feed in any way, it just directs the feed back to the home instance's feed and sorts by active. Trying out liftoff in the meantime.
The most recent jerboa version doesn't work with lemmy version 17 anymore (which beehaw is on). I had the error and crash happen too. You could download a previous version off their github and it should work with v17 instances (but probably not v18).

But I'd recommend liftoff, it was recently added to the play store and it's actively being worked on! It's the app I use and I've been enjoying it so far.
- Did they HAVE to go with that post for the Liftoff screenshots? 😂
  
  Edit: They even used it inside the app as a preview on the Post Style prefs! It's very much deliberate! 😂
  
  OMG, just noticed 🤣🤣🤣.
  
  :(
