Ratings and Reviews
Nice iconography + Follow other local timelines
I’m not an icon or font snob, but some other Mastodon apps have gotten cute with their icons and I keep hitting the wrong buttons! I originally gave Ice Cubes a try just because the icons are more representative of what they do.
I stayed because I really like the feature that allows you to follow other local timelines on other instances. It’s like attending one high school but being allowed to read (and respond) to another school’s newspaper.
The layouts are pretty and crisp and it allows customization. Currently using on iPad and Mac.
Good but
I like this app the most out of the iOS clients I've tried so far. However, there's no way to upload a new icon or header image and that's super annoying. I have the option to save my own icon or even use markup on it (???) but not to upload a new one. Very weird. Another issue is that most of the time (probably 70%) when I go to another user's profile, the app force quits. Doesn't matter what instance the user is on. I also just noticed, when I am able to view another user's profile and I tap on their Followers or Following list, the app will only show me users on the same instance as me. This is the weirdest thing. I want to see everyone my friends are following, not just users on the same instance as me. This happens even if my friend whose Followers list I'm viewing isn't on the same instance as me, which is just weird. I looked everywhere for a setting on this issue since I didn't see this occurring on any other client but I don't see one anywhere. I do like that I can change the app icon but it seems weird to have that option when I can't even change my own profile icon.
No unified timeline makes Mastodon frustrating
I love the customization and options in this app, and I love open source software, but without a unified timeline, using Mastodon is worthless. I don’t need to see every reply from every second single person I follow. I should only see replies in my feed when someone I follow replies to someone I don’t follow. Otherwise I should only see the original post in my feed giving me the option to dig into that post to read the replies. Getting notifications for every reply from people I follow makes sense. But no one can piece together a timeline for every single follow they have in some puzzle cluster eff of replies to make sense of things in their feed, especially when it shows them out of order, which is often the case. Twitter and others have this right. Until I get a feed that makes sense, Mastodon and it’s 3rd party apps aren’t worth anybody’s time and attention.
