### 3/5 — Improving

*2026-06-07*

Blocking gripes have been addressed—except that “remember position” absolutely does not. Maybe next time.
Now down to other irritants, and I’d put “option to view (or not) replies to users I’m not following” on the top of my wish list, the rest of which follows in no particular order: font-resizing (or changing); option to suppress reposts/boosts; option to show absolute time instead of relative; hide the tab bar when scrolling. Finally, 10 posts is not nearly enough to see how the thing works (moot for me, but still).
Bright side: USD7.99 lifetime is a really good deal.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the great feedback. We have a couple of these addressed in the 1.8.1 release coming soon thanks to your feedback.

### 5/5 — Made Bluesky usable

*2026-05-11*

If you’ve tried to adopt bluesky or mastodon as your less awful option to social, you need this app. It’s the usability layer both apps needed. I’m already using both a hundred times more than I was last week. Seriously- you gotta try it.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words.
