Decent experience

I’m on iPad and this seems a preferable experience to either the iPhone app turned on its side or the official web app! Surprised the reviewers are not better. Not really sure why I’ve not gone to 5 stars… perhaps later,
Meanwhile, minor suggestion (along with a lot of thanks to the creators):
In the settings where you toggle on or off…. It says “Toggle No to…”. They are toggles… with my presumably diverse brain that is not obvious since there is no “yes” or “no”. Simple replacement with the words “on” or “off” would be more intuitive to me with those toggle switches?

One of

One of my favourite apps for bsky but the latest update is giving me a blank screen and error messages when I open the app.

One of the best alternatives

It’s one of the most feature complete alternatives to the official bsky app and it’s really nice to use.

One of my only issues with it is that it stutters while scrolling much more than the bsky app itself does and doesn’t feel as fluid. If they fix that for phones with the higher refresh rate, then it’s perfect!
