I have been using this mostly on my iPad, and have 2 issues that I cannot get past to use this app exclusively. They seem small, but are deal breakers for me. 1) No list position memory of last read. When loading lists, they always jump to the top. With Mast 4.2 allowing lists to be separately viewed / excluded from the home timeline, the lack of position memory on lists is important. 2) No ability to unblur sensitive content. I am an adult, and should have control of this. I have even paid to become a “sponsor”, so the absence of this is a failure of the design. If the app is supposed to read my server setting, then it has failed in that regard as well. These two combined mean the app is not my go-to experience despite how lovely it is and easy to use otherwise. **Developer response:** Thank you fro the review! I am happy that your enjoying they iPad app :) As for the two bugs I can look into list positions and the new updates with Mastodon 4.3 I am not sure when I’ll be able to get too it as I am a student so that’s my main priority. The inability to unbound sensitive content seems to be a bug… You should have the ability to unblur any content by just clicking on the image. If that isn’t working please let me know at mannyformastodon@gmail.com! ### 4/5 — Great App *2023-10-16* I really like this Mastodon client. It has a good set of features, customization, and an appealing UI. I would like to see the app pull up more trending hashtags and posts though. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect. *2023-06-30* Missing features that I would be willing to pay for: 1. Posting images or videos from sources other than the Photos app. For example, iCloud Drive. 2. … wow there is no 2. It’s just the one thing. Everything else is great. Looks nice. Works nice. Snappy feeling response in the UI. Intuitive iconography. ### 4/5 — Good, but odd bug *2023-05-15* I like this app. Love the customizable lower bar. Odd bug though. When you go to the explore section the button for trending shows a blank page. Trending posts works though. Might be nice to add a button (tab?) on the explore page for trending news/links. ### 5/5 — Simplicity is Back! *2023-03-16, version 1.0* A very nice, light feeling client while staying feature packed in a non-overwhelming way! Great design and the app runs smoothly as well! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the review! I’m happy you enjoy using the app so much! ## Frequently asked questions about Manny ### What is Manny for Mastodon?
