  • Solid Lightweight Mastodon App

    I have used almost every Mastodon app and keep settling on Tusker. It has great design and UX and well-thought settings. The UI could be a little better with the option to increase the font size independent of iOS accessibility settings and push notifications would also be welcome. Kudos to the developer and hopefully a little refinement comes to the app in 2024.

  • This would be five stars but for one issue.

    Ok #Tusker , ok. This is some strong work. Features I havent seen anywhere else, well organized Settings, and just some really good ideas. LOVE the Digital Wellness settings. Just really thoughtful.

    What’s Missing : Can only select images or videos from iPhone’s Photos library. Please add iCloud Drive and other alternate sources.

    Gonna put some funds in their tip jar and hope they add alternate image and video file sources like iCloud Drive. … also the draw something thing! That’s neat and I can see myself using that.

  • Only App with Glitch Support

    Very big deal that this app supports other forks of mastodon. Couldn’t find it anywhere else.
