Ratings and Reviews
So close!
By far my favourite Mastodon app, I love the ability to see the Federated feed and that it stays where I last left it so I’m not missing out. However I have a couple of suggestions that I think would make this app the perfect Mastodon app; 1) full size photo previews, the little rectangle is fine but a little annoying, I’d rather just see whole scale photos on my feed. 2) ability to see stats on posts, like how many boosts and favourites a post has. 3) the layout of the labels in about sections on profiles should be top to bottom instead of left to right but I understand that’s more of a personal preference.
I love it
I really love the app and it saved me from missing out on the wonder of Mastodon and the Fediverse. My one issue at the moment is a lack of notifications on iPhone 13. Unsure why this happening. I have notifications on. I think this may have been since the last update. Other than that, this is great 🫶🏾
Intuitive but unreliable
This is a lovely app to use. If you’re coming to the fediverse from another social media site, this is your gateway. Feed is simple and chronological, reactions are easy to use, DMs can be found in the usual place. Love the design - super intuitive.
However, loading the feed is very glitchy; some days I can’t see any content at all, all day! Also, only a section of the feed loads and you have to click “see more” after scrolling it, which feels archaic.
I stick with it because it’s free and easy. But if I can find something else free before the loading bug is fixed, I will move, because it is a big problem.
