It seems that many popular mobile apps nowadays have their own design language. I like uniformity between my apps so I greatly respect when an app developer takes the care to design their app to follow their OS Human Interface Guidelines. For example, apps like Apollo (and wefwef/Voyager for Lemmy) rose to popularity partly due to looking and feeling like native iOS app

    Anyone have an example of an Android app that feels like this?

    Personally I don’t see the appeal of adhering to an existing design system just to make it feel “native”. I’m using Voyager on Android and it’s not native-feeling at all since Voyager is very Apple-inspired, but that doesn’t feel weird/bad. Discord is another app I use every day (though not for Lemmy) and it’s certainly not designed to feel native on either Apple or Android.

      Lemuroid and Libretube are good examples. I personally think they’re beautiful and match great with stock (Google) Android Material Design
