Alien Blue and the Apollo.. both were incredible for their time and nothing compares.
Relay for Reddit, which was called Reddit News back in the day. I'm aware it still works; dbrady is developing support for subscriptions for those who want that.
I'm going back and forth between Connect and Thunder for Lemmy. Connect seems most like Relay, but they're both good.

Relay. Besser als boost :p
Slide. It was open source and available on f-droid. It had been a while since the last update and some features were long longer working (in-app YouTube Playback). But I would just open in browser things that didn't work.
It was very easy to use and highly customizable, which is why I used it. And zero ads. Can't stand ads of any kind.
Relay. I still use it. It still works.
BaconReader. I didn't shop around. I just downloaded one, liked it enough, and it never gave me reason to go hunting for something different. Unlike the official app, which was one my phone for all of maybe a day.
Rif. Now using Voyager. It's the closest experience I've found.
Relay. And I still miss it. Better than any of the other apps I've tried for reddit or lemmy. Very smart design and UX that made it far more usable and enjoyable.
Boost and Infinity. Then Teddit and Libreddit for the browser.
Relay Pro
Relay, then Boost, ended on Infinity.
Apollo. Now using Narwhal.

Back when I was on iOS, I started with Alien Blue, then I moved to Apollo when reddit purchased it.
After I switched to android, I settled on Sync and Boost. I used Sync about 90% of the time but I had my alts on Boost and would have different feeds split between the apps. The last few versions of Boost had gotten me to start thinking about using it more but then the API changes were announced.
Slide then Sync
Reddit is Fun.
On Android, I used Infinity, moved from Baconreader. On iOS, I used Apollo.
I was using Narwhal, which may or may not have survived. I had been under the assumption it was going away, but June 30 I stopped by the subreddit and apparently the developer was working with Reddit to move to a subscription model or something. Even though my 3rd party app has apparently survived, I walked away and deleted all my comments/accounts.
Over the years: Baconreader, Boost and Joey.
Boost for conversations. Relay for image galleries.
Boost for Reddit (And hopefully Lemmy soon)
^The^ ^official ^one...^
Apollo on iOS Sync on Android
I started out with BaconReader, then I moved over to Sync, then when Sync development slowed down I moved over to Infinity
Boost for Reddit and the Sync for Reddit, good news is that both apps are coming for Lemmy.
