Hey everyone, I just wanted to provide a big announcement that Thunder is now available on Google Play Store!
The direct link to the Google Play Store listing is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hjiangsu.thunder
As far as general releases go, I’ll try to keep all the different versions in sync (GitHub, Google Play, TestFlight) to minimize the amount of confusion.
I would like to give a big thanks to @CTalvio for helping with the graphics and screenshots that you see on the listing page, and others for contributing to the overall project! This would not be possible without all their help. Thunder is a community-driven project, and all your contributions towards the project help shape the way it is. If you are interested in contributing to Thunder in any way, feel free to reach out!
If you would like to join in on the conversation for Thunder, we have a Matrix page here: https://matrix.to/#/#thunderapp:matrix.org
If you would like to check out the GitHub page, it is linked here: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder
Best Lemmy app! (I may be slightly biased, hahah.) Everyone’s been pouring their heart and soul into this, hope it’ll really take off now that it’s on the Play Store!
Just downloaded. Enjoying it so far
Me too… It’s been great the last 20 minutes, lol.
It opens fast, looks great. Clean and configurable. Better than jerboa and lift-off so far. Only wants access to storage and network. So many apps wants access to everything.
Congratulations on the release!
Any plans for an iOS version?
Yes, an app store release will take some time and effort, but you can get it on testflight right now.
Thanks, giving it a try for a while to see how it sits. Is there a way to sort by new comments with a post?
Says it’s not available on my device pixel 6
Hmm, it should be available for Pixel 6 devices. What OS version are you running?
I can download it now! But only via your link, it doesn’t show up in the playstore when I search
Edit: 13
Glad to hear that! Yeah, I think it’s gonna take a bit of time before it’s indexed on the Play Store to be searched unfortunately
Use F-Droid then

Super difficult to get installed on my pixel 6 pro. I couldn’t install from the play store app on my device at all, no combination of searching for it or the package would let me find it. I had to copy the link into a chrome browser and log in to the play store that way to get to a place where I could install. Hope this helps you get it published properly! DM me if I can help you test that it’s fixed, OP. I’m on Google Fi and Android 13 btw, with most recent July patch.
Hey! This is most likely because Google Play has not indexed Thunder on the Play Store yet. From what I’ve read, it takes a while for it to show up on searches, and since this was published just yesterday, it may just be a matter of time
I’ll continue to monitor this and see if it resolves with time, and if not, then I’ll see what to do to get it searchable!
I think the Play Store should have indexed Thunder now - could I get you to double check and confirm if this is the case? Thanks!
I’m sorry it took such a long time to see this and reply, but I was able to grab thunder from the play store when you released your update. So FWIW, it’s working now!
