Real quick:
What are the best Android clients people are using? Helping a friend.
Is there maybe an Android-specific Nostr guide somewhere? I think that would be beneficial, just seeing the lots of people saying Nostr is hard to use on Android.

Amethyst for sure
Thanks.. I am the friend Tatum is trying to help. I am on Amethyst, it is unstable for me and logs me off every time I am on the DM screen. ,,,,,😟
I've never had that happen, but whenever I get issues like that I just delete and redownload.
I haven't found a better android option and amethyst isn't perfect, but spending time to get used to it's quirks makes it easier to deal with.
It's worth your time investment
Thanks #[5] yes - doing the work .. spending time figuring it out....
I've found that's usually an issue with relays more than it is with Amethyst. Have you tried deleting your relays and adding them back in one at a time until you find the stability killer?
Is that the best way to go through relays? I've just been deleting them based off the stats they provide about them
For this instance it might be the best just to troubleshoot. This sounds like one of the relays he's using isn't sending back the expected dataformat and causing the app to crash. If you're just looking for most performant then looking at stats might not be a bad way to slim them down.
Iris or Amethyst 🔶👀
Amethyst is the one I see most people talk about. Not sure about a specific guide. Also warn them that there is a knock off “Damus” app in the android store but it’s not the real Damus. Jb55 posted about it a couple days ago.
💯 don't download Damus on the Android store
Amethyst 🤙
Amethyst works well.
+1 Amethyst. But Nostros is still in competition, worth a try as well: https://github.com/KoalaSat/nostros
I'm running smoothly on Amethyst & Snort.
nostr.how
Amethyst currently is in the play store, so that's generic. But Be careful to use 2 clients simultaneously. I have run into the big where you lose your follower list. Twice. Aargh.
we’re getting pretty close to public alpha for Plasma.
maybe #[2] can hook you up with the latest test build? 👀

Amethyst works for me. Sometimes it is not responding, but most of the time it run just fine.
i'm personally using the iris.to app simply because of its almost-free-of-spam global feed, thing that i didn't find within amethyst
Amethyst + filter.nostr.wine
Your post is moving eyeballs.

I'm using Amethyst & liking it a lot (except wish it had dark mode)
Iris 👍👏
