For the past day or so every time I try to open Jerboa it just crashes immediately without an error message why. Is there any scheduled update/fix for Jerboa? I'd like to be able to browse on mobile again and really enjoyed the app while it was working.

Dev of Summit here. It is a lemmy reader like the other apps mentioned. You can find it on the play store by searching “app for lemmy” or “lemmy reader”. I'm actually releasing a big update today. Here's a preview of the feature: https://youtube.com/shorts/8mIVZflUHhU?feature=share.
I'm currently using wefwef to reply to you, I use them both interchangeably, but Connect has more formatting options in the markdown editor, whereas Wefwef expects you to just remember how to format anything in markdown. Both experience errors constantly.
I am using webweb.app which is a PWA Apollo clone. Its a bit weird cause the UI is iOS based, but it's by far the smoothest and full featured all I tried so far!
Scrolling is like butter, I can customize text size, and from comment reply notifications it actually directly opens the thread to the comment, and also highlights the comment which i love! Is liftoff and thunder similarly full featured?
Oops, pesky autocorrect. This also has infinite scrolling which I didn't even realize at first and what made the Lemmy feel so clunky on mobile before - that is definitely the biggest thing that makes this my favorite now.
I have the same issue. Deleting app data and cache stopped the crash at the start, but I cannot log into my account.
It seems the reason for the crash was that the lemmy instance I'm on (and that I was still logged into) uses version 17.x, when Jerboa requires 18.x.
They fixed it this morning, but it's still being buggy for me. I think it's more on Lemmy's/.world's side, at this point. That being said, I'm starting to like wefwef a lot.
You got it reversed, lemmy.world is at 0.17.4 and Jerboa is already at 0.18.0. No logins are possible, and if already logged in it works with some crashes.
There's a bug on 0.18.0 that causes problems for some features of lemmy.world, they're trying to update the instance to 0.18.1.
I've been periodically installing and uninstalling it on my phone for the past 10 days. Never managed to launch it. Crashes after a second or two every time.
Yesterday when I tried, it told me that the instance wasn't up to date and didn't work, so I tried a different app. Liftoff is proving to be my favorite so far.
Maybe not very helpful, but the Lemmy experience on Android browsers is pretty good. I'm using mobile Firefox and it's much fun, it's especially fascinating to see the pages auto-syncing without having to reload them. But I can see how you would prefer the app.
I would normally enjoy an app but seriously. Using the the browser is really not that bad. I'll still be waiting for Sync though since I'm a loyalist. But for now the browser is even better than that which we should not name here.
I had this issue with my lemmy.world account, but I was able to get Jerboa to work again by logging into my lemmy.ee account. It was tricky because of how fast it kept crashing but I got it to work after a few tries hitting the buttons as fast as I could. Now browsing from my lemmy.ee account it seems like the main problems are gone.
You can view all the instances from one account, but an account is hosted on an individual instance which can be out of sync with others. (I hope that's accurate, I'm still slightly confused about the details too)
Yes, it kept crashing after a few minuted of use on my android. Not unsurprising when all this is very new. Gonna wait for the in-development boost and sync for Lemmy.
