Leave a Review Mona for Mastodon
  • Doesn’t work as well as it used to

    Notifications stopped working properly a few days ago and refreshes have become quite laggy.
  • Polished, but not upfront about paid featured

    This is probably the best paid mastodon app for iOS, but the developer should make it clearer that the app is not free. Without buying "Pro", the app is mostly read-only: no likes, no retoots, 160 character limit, etc.
  • Quickly become my favorite app

    This app is incredible. Fast, well-designed, customizable - it easily surpasses any experience I’ve had with 1st and 3rd party apps for all the major social media platforms. I started the trial and two hours in I was impressed enough that I paid for Pro Max - I normally hate paying for apps.
  • Lovely: one feature request: proper formatting of favorited/boosted posts in notifications view

    This is a really nice app. It’s my favorite of all the Mastodon apps. I’ve tried so far. There’s one feature that’s missing from my perspective and that is that the notifications for boosted and favorited posts display the original post in line in plain text format, which makes it hard to identify a particular post at first glance: it would be great if the favorited and boosted posts could be displayed with the same formatting that’s used for boosted posts in the home view: complete with images if present. if that feature was added or is clearly in the roadmap, then I would buy Mona now.

  • Great App - Poor Paywall Choices

    I heard of this app after searching around online for the best iOS Mastodon app in 2024, and this one was getting high praise but with the disclaimer that "some features were behind a Paywall". Which is fine! Some of the more advanced customization features sure enough are pro-only.

    Except that the most basic Mastodon features possible (boosting, liking, and saving toots) are also "pro-only"? Which is an absolutely wild decision on the part of the developer and makes this app literally unusable. At that point just make the app a $12 purchase from the store and be done with it.

  • The best Mastodon app

    Mona is definitely the best Mastodon app! It has lots of features, and it's fully accessible with VoiceOver. Keep up the good work!
  • This app is so close to perfect except it does filter replies.

    I make sure that the filter for my home page has replies unchecked because they're usually just a random reply with no context I don't want on my feed. Unfortunately I'm still getting replies in my feed. This issue has been around for multiple updates and it's making the app unusable. IDK how anyone on the fediverse deals with so many replies in their feed. If this gets fixed then I can update this review to also include all the good things I love about this app.

  • Left Ivory for Mona

    Rock solid timeline. It’s extensibility is amazing. It’s automation is the best. No bugs detected. Also a one time purchase. I’ll occasionally tip if it gets better. Sad I never tried the twitter client. I was too into tweetbot.
  • Nearly there

    Very good iOS Mastodon client, provided you don’t mind paying to post media. Couple of improvements could be made though. Writing threads doesn’t currently have enough manual control, you can’t choose where to split posts, or choose not to have things like “1/3” or an ellipsis. You just get your long text split across multiple posts formatted how the app decides. This also means you can’t add media to anything but the first post, unless you write each post in the thread one after the other as replies. It would also be good for “Add to Reading List” to be a default action when tap and holding on a link rather than needing to open up the “Share Link” screen to perform that action. I’d also like the option to turn off the text box for replies that appears above the bottom bar when viewing a post because it looks very out of place and you can also reply by tapping the Reply button on the post itself anyway
