Ratings and Reviews
Great app, but need some slight work with voiceover.
I had to call Apple accessibility so that I could get a little assistance visual wise with this app. When you find a persons profile, their picture, along with their followers, who they follow, and the follow button are all in one box. Voiceover is not able to read the follow button. You have to swipe left to the more button, then swipe right to the send a request button to the follower you want to follow. When you turn, voiceover off, the button shows up as blue. When you turn voiceover on the button shows up as gray. Voiceover is not reading this. Other than that small complaint, this app is very good. I recommend it to anyone who wants to use this app.
Best Mastodon client hands down
I tried every single Mastodon app that wasn’t subscription-based and this is by far the best. It’s fast, sleek, stable, and super customizable, and unlike some others out there, it also works flawlessly with Pleroma instances. Absolute gem, I bought the Pro Max upgrade within a week or two and haven’t regretted it once.
The only feature I miss is the ability to emoji react on servers that support it (i.e. Pleroma). Dev, if you’re reading this, I’ll definitely send you a big tip if you can make it happen. Can provide details via email if necessary, but take a look at how Soapbox handles it, that’s basically what I have in mind.
Either way, thanks for your amazing work.
Incredible But…
I love that you can either pay for one app, (iPhone, iPad, or Mac), or pay one price and have an app for iPhone, iPad, AND Mac. The customization seems to be immense. The only problem is that you can’t try any of it until you either sign up for a 14 day trial of the Pro Max version (includes iPhone, iPad, and Mac), or actually pay for an individual version (iPhone, iPad, or Mac). You can’t even favorite or boost a post. You can comment, but to decide whether to pay that price, there needs to be a more expansive demo mode. I don’t like having to sign up for a 14 day trial period for all three devices, If I only want one for my phone. In order to try all of the features on different device types, there is the potential to forget to cancel the trial, and get charged.
