(single quotes around best for subjectivity) I'm trying to get all of my Android using friends and family into the Fediverse.

I'm an iOS user, so I have no idea about Android apps.

I use Connect on my phone. I've tried others, even Sync when it came out but I guess I was already used to Connect.

Not open source

That's not a requirement for everyone. And I don't mind paying someone for their efforts.

It kind of is, in this community.

To win over friends and family, an app being FOSS doesn't matter as much as its UI/UX.

This is a FOSS-specific community.

It's so much better than sync. I might try Boost once it's released, but connect just works really well

Same to all of this!
