I will not be renewing my subscription until we have the ability to view “Show More Replies” that Bluesky hides but we can view. This app behaves like they don’t exist. I want to decide what I see. I don’t want to leave it up to Boost Blue. Currently I use Boost Blue for notifications only.

Still the best without being any good.

Errors on every post (but still posts them), puts adverts in your timeline (for itself even if you’re subscribed), remembers your position (or at least within 5 or so posts of your position, breaks it’s up on iPad roughly monthly.

And yet still easily the best Bluesky app.

capable but flawed

migrated from skeets to boost blue mainly for drafts, since they're a native bsky feature now and skeets is charging for it, and bsky still doesn't have a workable app for tablet. boost blue has some nice features on its own, but the performance gets sluggish, and i have run into being rate limited numerous times, which has NEVER happened to me on the native app, website, or skeets. so definitely a work in progress!

Nyet

The constant piling on a fake reviews is a sure mark of the propensity of this app to be useless and needs about 500 hours more Swift programming Locks up, freezes, and when it will open I get more use out of the COVID testing Qtips laying around the house

an awesome app to replace the native bluesky app

it's fast, smooth and looks aesthetically pleasing.

nice thing is it includes (almost) every feature the native bluesky app, and theres regular updates.

i appreciate the developer of this app. thank you for all of your hard work!

Love this App!

I’ve been looking for an alternative to the Bluesky app. This one does it all. Themes, fonts, drafts, ability to search, mute, and control your feed.

Best of all it remembers your place in your timeline!!!

The developer is also very responsive to feature requests. Great app.

Great Option - Missing Scroll to Top

Great overall experience but missing the ability to tap those three pips at the top of the iOS screen to quickly scroll to the top. Used to be able to tap the no. of unread messages indicator to get to the top, but that functionality seems to have be gone now.

Great upgrade over the default Bluesky app

This app is fantastic! It has great quality of life upgrades over the default Bluesky app that improve my experience so much, like the saved timeline position for the following feed and list feeds. The app is still a little rough around the edges, but the developer is super responsive to any issues and is making improvements multiple times a week. I cannot recommend this app enough over the default Bluesky app.

Excellent BlueSky App!

The app works great, author has regular updates as well as posting roadmaps on BlueSky. Favorite feature has to be that the app saves my place on both iOS and Android and I can keep up at the same point on both platforms!!

A great app

Super quality, and cross platform, so something I recommend to my friends with the green robot phones. Super responsive developer, always adding new features too.

Very Bad

A lot of bugs

Best Bluesky App bar none

Easy to use, remembers your last-read location and has a developer who is responsive and open to feedback positive and negative.

The best client and keeps getting better

Developer is very responsive to feedback. Last position in your timeline is amazing. I’m a total completionist and this app works well for me.

Consistently updated

It’s great to have an engaged, responsive (always polling users!) developer always out there expanding what Boost Blue can do.

Better Than Skeets So Far

I recently had to uninstall Skeets due to them no longer saving your timeline position when opening the app. So far Boost Blue does just that.

Login fails

Won’t even log in. Returns an “InvaildRequestSection” error.

Response from developer

Sorry that you have been unable to login. If you contact me on Bluesky at @boostblue.bsky.social I'd love to ask you some questions to see if I can get this fixed for you.

It’s pretty nice

There’s a lot I like about this app. First off, the instant in-place update of your timeline, which is always an issue with other apps. I also like the post counter, which is more accurate than a scrollbar. The ability to swipe to your different feeds is also cool, and I appreciate the larger images.

The downside is the lack of the standard “share” button, which severely limits what you can do with posts - for example, sharing images to Evernote or Apple Notes; sending posts via Apple Messages, etc. This is a standard and familiar part of iOS and iPadOS, and it’s a mystery why it’s missing here. It could end up being a deal-breaker, so I hope the devs reconsider their choice to leave it out.

Great BlueSky app

I found this app few days ago and I was enthusiastic.
Great UI, finally app, that can remember reading position, working notification, amazing.

Update 08/11/2025: problem solved, after update hold connected! Great news and app.


But 😥
App is disconnecting BlueSky account every few hours, you need to reconnect 3 times a day and that’s annoying.
This needs some time to be repaired and than it can be the best app for BlueSky.

Has a lot of potential!

I like the look and feel. And the number showing how many unread posts are left is really awesome. One major issue I have. If I don’t use the app for a couple hours or I fully close the app it is asking me to sign in every time I reopen it. Am I missing a setting that will keep me logged in between sessions?

Awesome

The Preserved Feed Position feature is awesome! I really like being able to come back to my Following tab and pick up where I left off.
