Ratings and Reviews
Excellent start
This is an excellent start for a Mastodon client on the Mac. Plus you can't beat the price of free! Please keep up the good work. I particular enjoy able to quickly switch to one of my lists. I would like to make one request. Please make the content font size adjustable. The default font size on my Mac screen is way too small. On iOS devices or Mac laptops they are fine, but not on my desktop Mac. Pleaase consider adding this feature. Thank you so much for a great app.
A familiar UI
Got the Twitter blues and looking for a way into this Fediverse thing? Try this app and you’ll figure out Mastodon pretty quickly! The UI seems inspired by some of the nicer Twitter apps from the past which should help make it easier to use. The UI for following additional instances is pretty nice, and there are easy ways to manage the tags and such you’re following (something that’s otherwise not very easy to do in most apps yet). Solid initial release!
Not perfect, but awesome potential
Loving this - fast, threads nicely, takes advantage of my iPad real-estate, very confugurable.
Still has minor quirks - I'm not seeing it auto-expand all content warnings, and some media is blurred, even though I turned those both off. But - minor quibbles, I'm sure fixed at some point soon.
