Leave a Review Toot! for Mastodon
I’m enjoying the app
I’m enjoying the app. I already have an existing Mastodon account, after some confusion about the “add” button, I was finally able to find my instance (server) and log in. It loads toots faster and I like that I can easily find the various Mastodon timelines. Toot also has some nice options where you can change the color theme, and the notification sounds. The developer reached out when I had a problem, is responsive, and cares.Show lessZ Northwind
Developer Response
This app is definitely meant to sign into existing accounts. Please send me a message directly if this is not working for you.An ok app!
It’s an ok app & nothing more. Can’t see why anyone would pay for this. It has no more features than most of the free Mastodon apps & it’s buggy on top of that. Is it pretty? Yeah it’s decent but again nothing better than free apps offered.
I purchased this after coming over from Twitter & seeing it highly recommended. I just don’t get it? In any case I don’t recommend paying for this.Show lessbrigantine
Get it!
I don’t write reviews on apps. This app however is so good! It’s got all the needed features and the implementation is crazy good. Because of the attention to detail, it’s a pleasure to use. Somehow they have actually made the app fun to use. The tiny animations that don’t get in the way are so great! They have taken an amazing service and made it even more fun to use. Please keep up the development!Show lessKen1971S
Overly complicated UI, annoying default sound
So I tried this for a full day and found it to be worse than the default app. The interface is overly complicated and forces you to juggle menus to find specific features that should be laid out in a single screen. The worst is the new post interface and the separation of image vs. text.
Too many “cute” animations and dissolves between screens, far too much thought went into the default sound.Show lessVoodooMurphy
Smooth experience, iPhone and iPad have mixed metaphors.
The icons in the iPhone version make more sense, but are absent in the iPad. The words could readily be replaced with icons, which would visually free up the text of toots.
Also, it seems like I can’t see feeds other than Home from the iPhone? If there’s a way it’s not clear.Twumfp
Please support Dynamic Text or text size options
It’s a nice app as the other reviews say and it’s great that the developer is working on it again. My only feedback is that there is no way to change text size. Dynamic Text has no effect and there is no option in the app to change text size. Accessibility options or support for features like Dynamic Text in iOS are essential for those of us with poor eyesight. It is difficult for me to use this app and I’m not sure I can continue, although I would like to.Show lessjm-4
Notifications
I love the speed, but it has the same problem as Metatext, which keeps me from using it: it doesn’t show an icon badge for notifications. Only the official Mastodon app does, but it’s slow and annoying. There’s also no indication on the notification tab when there are new notifications.mike3k
The most fun mastodon client available!
I love Toot! more than any other Mastodon app on iOS. I still find myself using the Metatext app for a couple of key features that I think Toot! is missing.
Firstly, being able to sort profiles for “Media” posts is an essential part of using Mastodon for engaging with artists. Metatext has that option right at the top of every profile, but Toot! doesn’t seem to have any equivalent feature.
It’s also a bit difficult to share images using Toot! since there is no feature to pull up albums. I sort my photos into albums and share them on Mastodon, but the only way to share images on Toot! is by finding them in chronological order, so it can be hard to pick out the correct images.
Overall I think Toot! is a gorgeous app and it very clear that the folks behind it have put a lot of work into making it a very smooth and fun experience. I still keep the Metatext app installed, but I’m very grateful for all of the more modern features that Toot! includes that Metatext still hasn’t gotten around to adapting.Show lessAshLumi
This is the one to get
Fast, flexible, a communicative developer, ability to switch easily between accounts (once you wrap your head around what that even means)… I’ve tried them all and this is my favorite. Collects no data, too!Tikaro
Boosting toots has never been so easy
I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and it is very well done. Love the multi-instance support and that I can boost things across instances with a long press 🏆zachleat
