Unable to log into blue sky with validation code

I attempted to use this app to log into my Bluesky account. It sent a validation code which I received via email, but unfortunately the blue sky login does not provide any method for providing that authorization code.

Functional but cluttered

I like the functionality but the UI is so cluttered with giant fonts, memes, and graphs and nasa photos etc… I don’t need or want any of that.

Perfect Fediverse & Bluesky experiences on VisionPro, great video reel and for you feed ❤️

This app is natively designed for Apple Vision Pro. I can view profiles posts and images in separate windows and I can place them wherever I want. It connects to Mastodon, Misskey, Bluesky servers. It also comes with a Twitter like For You feed which allows me to discover much more contents! And not to mention the video feed! Keep up the great work and keep making updates!!

Awesome app

This app offers so much more than the regular plain Mastodon client, video feed’ photo grid’ even swiping?! Really amazed me how many features can be added to the Fediverse! Giving 4 stars since the timeline can be hard to scroll when loading

Great app, held back by performance issues

I really enjoy this app, it’s innovative in ways I never expected a fediverse client to be! As far as i can tell, it’s completely unparalleled!
But yeah, I have trouble getting the like button to click, and after being open for a minute or more it reallly starts to lag. Maybe it’s because I’m on a iPhone SE 2020, but it’s frustrating enough that it keeps SoraSNS from being my go-to, despite its greatness

Hi, Thank you very much for taking your precious time to write this positive review! Your kind words gave me energy to keep taking SoraSNS forward with new features and bug fixes. In the recent update V12.0.1, many of the UI issues are addressed. Please try out the newest version. If you see any other issues or are looking for a feature that does not yet exist, please feel free to chat with me directly in the community Discord, mention me on Fediverse, or email me. I aim to make this app the best for every user. In the upcoming versions, more issues will be fixed, and new features like Misskey antenna, Bluesky reply control, Bluesky DM, Nostr support, etc will be added. Best, Developer of SoraSNS @MszPro

Making Mastodon more interesting to explore!

My timeline used to be boring with one person’s posts potentially taking all of it. I love the way that this app shows a variety of posts. I have discovered so many new accounts to follow too!!

It’s algorithmic I know but it’s local so that’s far more advanced than other SNS apps.

One feature I hope is Nostr support. And also different interests grouping for different accounts. For now it’s kind of shared between all my accounts.

Crashes a lot on Apple Watch

I got this app so I could use Bluesky on my Apple Watch. Unfortunately it always crashes after a few minutes and never gets the sorting right. It seems to just be a mash of random posts and replies. I would like to be able to pick a default feed for the Watch app. The Watch app needs some work.

Completely broken

I tried registering in Sora. Got the spinning beach ball, but decided to just wait it out. Then my Mac reported running out of memory, and that Sora used 50Gigabyte!!!! of memory. This app is an instant delete.

Solid

I do quite like the layout of the app, but locking extremely basic features like saving photos behind the monthly fee makes it essentially worthless

Thanks for your review! Saving a photo shouldn’t require a subscription. You can tap the share menu (the last icon button in picture viewer) and tap the save image button. The HD button for showing a high definition photo does require a subscription in the current version. However, I’ll double check and remove all paywalls around this in the next update. At any time, feel free to provide your feedbacks in the official Discord group or by mentioning me on the Fediverse!

Neat app with some minor quibbles

I’ve been trying out the app for a bit, and there are some things I like. The on-device algorithmic feed is quite good, and the thread view has to be my favourite of any Fediverse app (Bean is the only one that comes close). The notifications section is also great. Better than any other app.

As it stands now, my main issue with the app is that on an iPhone 12 mini, it feels very cramped, and the large text size doesn’t help. Everything feels too big for the screen, and some things, such as the sort button in the top bar, are misaligned. It would be great if these UI issues can be fixed.

Thank you very much for your positive review. Kind words like yours keep me motivated to work on more exciting features for Sora. I’ll take a mini device with me as my second carry and personally test and fix the UI layout issue. Best, Developer @MszPro and MagiCat ;)
