Great Alternative App With Huge Potential!
12/10/2024

This is a great start to being an amazing app for Bluesky! I absolutely love the robust push notifs and bookmarks!Some things I’d like to see improved are:When I’m replying to someone, I don’t like that it doesn’t show their full message in the editor. Sometimes I want to comment about something they said towards the end of their post, and I can’t see it without trying to leave the draft editor.After posting a reply, I have to manually refresh the page to see it in the conversation. It would be nice if it would auto-refresh and show my post afterwards.When someone follows me, it would be nice if the notif says if they’re someone that’s following me back, or if it’s someone new that I’m not following yet (like the official app does).Lastly, the official app has an experimental feature to show replies in a threaded view (under Thread Preferences). Would love to see something similar here, but that’s just a stretch idea.Please keep up the great work!

I stumbled upon this app by accident. I downloaded it because of the meme name but honestly I’m really liking it. The app feels cleaner and smoother than the official version. Nothing seems to be missing and even more than that there’s even additional features. I’m going to be trying this app out more but I think it’s definitely great so far. Some things that I would like to see are the ability to change where the reskeet, like, quote skeet, bookmark, and more options buttons are under skeets. I would prefer if the reskeet was all the way to the right for my personal preference and being able to change it would be great. Being able to have a pinned feeds switcher at the bottom would be great too instead of reaching all the way to the top. The app is designed really well and intuitively. The colors are great and i feel this app gives a better experience for Bluesky compared to the official version for iOS. Thank you :3

Too Many Bugs Too Often: Update To My Original Review
01/23/2025

The latest one I encounter most often is the message that the feed failed to load - “retry”. Retry often does not work. Most of the time now I just use my browser, Safari, to access Bluesky, it’s far more reliable. I keep Skeets to receive notifications, although I may just go to the Bluesky app itself and ditch Skeets. I’ve tried to be patient but the issues are mounting rather than declining. Past Reviews: The main issue at this time is the app does not open to the latest posts. I have to pull down the screen to get the feed to refresh. As I don’t have the official BlueSky app, I access the platform by Safari and that always loads with the latest posts but you can’t get notifications that way. Those come to me by the Skeets app. The app while appealing in appearance is still a work in progress with a ways to go.

Pretty functional, but please add word wrap to the compose post dialogue

Overall, this is a really good app for browsing Bluesky, especially because it actually takes advantage of the iPad’s screen. However, I have noticed that when using Skeets on iPad, the dialogue for composing a new post doesn’t have word wrap, which makes writing new posts kind of a pain, if not impossible because I can’t see the words I’m typing on longer posts.I’ll update this review when this is fixed! I also run into some “token expired” dialogues; not sure if those are bugs or not.

What’s New • Added full app localization for Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Polish, and Italian. Bug Fixes • Fixed an issue where the first character was auto-accepted when using the Japanese keyboard. • Fixed “Hide repeating post content in timeline” not applying correctly. • Fixed replies ignoring the selected language setting. • Fixed double-tap on the Notifications tab not scrolling the view to the top.
