Mastoot 17+

I've tried the official Mastodon client, Metatext, Tooot, Toot!, and Tootle, and THIS app is the only one that I immediately felt was on the right track for being the best client. The post layout is clean and logical (@names are shown under their display name, improving clarity), the dark mode lets you pick different levels of dark (not just "white on pure black" some others do), you can easily change icon and color schemes, and the profile view is neat and clearly highlights "verified" links. The various sections are arranged well and easy to get too. Some other apps bury sections under pop-up menus or try to cram too many buttons together on the screen.

This app is great and I will start recommending it.

As far as I know, I have used all of the Mastodon apps, and I certainly want to support them all. But as my daily go-to app, Mastoot has clearly won me over. Immediately apparent is the very smooth and fluid scrolling. Downloading posts and images while scrolling is awesome. On the Home feed, a small notification will appear to let me know how many unread posts there are left. Notifications are supported within iOS. Terminology is consistent with the Mastodon desktop. Supports search by hashtag. And each week seems to include a new update.

There are two times that one seems to leave the app … when I edit my profile (opens a browser window), and when I click on a #hashtag in a person’s profile. (which “should” open the in-app search window but instead goes to the Mastodon web app login).

The developer is clearly invested to make this the best app out there, and it shows. Nice work.

… like Home timeline synchronization across devices (iPad & iPhone). This is huge for someone like me who wants to see all toots from folks I follow. The developer responded almost immediately when I reported a crash, and included the fix with another major feature: posted toot editing. And honestly I just really like the design decisions the developer has made. They make the app a pleasure to use.
