Its IAP for people who supported the developer in his previous version of the app at the highest level is fundamentally broken. It expires after 7 days of system uptime, and then 14 days later, the app reverts to the free version until you restart the computer. Rebooting the computer is the only way to fix it. The developer blames Apple, Apple's servers, the operating system, everything apart from his own application, which, along with the previous version of Mona are the only apps bought through the App Store, with "lifetime subscription" plans which exhibit this behaviour. I used to recommend this app, nowI would warn anyone to look for a different option. ### 5/5 — Beste Mastodon App *2026-07-17* Die mit einigem Abstand rundeste App für Mastodon. Feature complete und extrem sauberes Design, butterweich scrollende Timeline. Die eine App, die ihr als erstes anderen empfehlen wollt die Mastodon „einfach nur nutzen“ wollen ohne von Nerd-Design verschreckt zu werden. ### 1/5 — Same Old Bugs, New Purchase *2026-06-19* It has the same bugs and lack of features as Mona 6, but it’s a new purchase, to get around the old version’s lifetime purchase option, named “Mona Pro Max”. There’s no guarantee version 6, the older version, will be maintained or supported any longer or if so for how long, so not purchasing 7 isn’t necessarily an option, especially when the developer has made it clear that the discounted one-time purchase of 7 for 6-purchasers *is* temporary. This is all very disingenuous and scummy from the developer. They’ve made zero effort to address any of the existing bugs or lack of features but have changed the revenue model to be more hostile to their customers. Shameful and untrustworthy. Examples of a bugs/missing features: 1. the number indicating replies to a post and the actual replies displayed is off, usually the actual replies displayed are fewer than the number indicates, and there *are* replies that aren’t loaded/displayed. Other clients do display the replies correctly but no version of Mona does. 2. Private notes, mutes/filters and scroll/read positions are only saved in the app locally but not in the server. If you happened to have both Mona 6 and 7, for evaluation purposes, or Mona and another app because Mona lacks the essential features the other app has, these app-only features stand out. I think there’s little reason to purchase Mona 7. ### 1/5 — Ein echtes Downgrade *2026-06-19* Version 7 ist leider ein echtes Downgrade von der vorherigen. Trotz langer Betaphase hat die App immer noch sehr nervige Bugs (z.B. springende Timeline, verschobene Touch-Zones für Links und Hashtags) und ist damit einfach den Preis nicht wert. Wer schon die vorherige Version (heißt jetzt Classic) hat, ist damit besser bedient. Update, drei Monate später: die o.g. Bugs bestehen nachwievor. Das letzte App-Update ist aber auch bereits zwei Monate her, obwohl es offensichtlichen Bedarf gibt. Sehr sehr schade. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2026-05-27* In my opinion, this is the best Mastodon app. However, there is one thing I miss: it would be nice if you could optionally extend the header image to the top edge of the screen, just like in the official Mastodon app. ### 4/5 — 多分、最強のマストドンアプリ…ただ重くなる事が *2026-05-25* Mona 6から愛用しています。 【iPadに対応】 マストドンアプリの選択はまずMac・iPhone・iPad版が出ていて、同期する事。特にiPadに対応していないアプリもありこの点でかなり選択肢が絞られます。iPhone用のUIが無理やりiPadでも使えるって事ではダメ。iPadの横置きで画面全体を有効活用できていないとダメです。MonaはiPad横置きに完全対応しています。 【カスタマイズ性】 最大の売りはツールボタン (タブバー) がカスタマイズできる事。私は [ホーム / 通知 / 連合TL / mastodon.social LTL / mstdn.jp LTL / 探索 / 人気のハッシュタグ / リスト / プロフィール / お気に入り / その他] にしてます。 他者の投稿の下に出るボタンもカスタマイズできます。私は [コメント / ブースト / お気に入り / ブックマーク / 翻訳 / コピー / 部分コピー / ウェブブラウザーで見る / その他] にしてます。ここでは文字で書いてるので長いですが、これが横一列に並び収まります。 Fedibirdなどの横広の絵文字を大きく見せる機能はありませんが、絵文字が何と書かれているのか読みたい時は「ウェブブラウザーで見る」で解決です。 【アカウント切り替え】 Mona 6の時点で、アカAで入っている状態のままで、新規投稿の時に投稿だけをほかの登録しているアカBに切り替えて投稿するという事ができました。 恐らくMona 7になってからだと思いますが、⭐️お気に入り、🔁ブーストも、ボタンを長押ししていると、登録している別のアカ一覧が出てきて、別のアカで実行できます (iPhone版・iPad版は長押し、Mac版は右クリック) 。 大元のアカ切り替えはそれだけで数秒使ってしまうので、これはとてもありがたいです。 【欠点】 投稿時の文章入力で打ち込みが書き込み欄に反映されるのに時間がかかる事があります。最大なんと30秒超。私は特にiPadで使うので、iPadで遅い事が気になります。この欠点は公式に届いているとは思いますがぜひとも改善していただきたいです。 この欠点はMona 6でもありました。 これがあっても、超高額でもその他が素晴らしすぎて購入してしまうアプリです。 ### 1/5 — dont purchase lifetime *2026-04-29* fake lifetime plan as he would release a new app after couple years ### 5/5 — Best Mastodon Client *2026-04-19* This is my favorite Mastodon client. I was a huge fan of Spring for Twitter, and was so happy to see this dev carryover to Mastodon. Selfishly I hope they someday make a Bluesky app since I’m not a regular Mastodon user. ### 5/5 — Best Mastodon Client *2026-04-17* The best mastodon client ever made, has a lot of customization, and works perfectly ### 1/5 — scam *2026-04-15* will charge you 60€ for a single update after I have already paid for it ## Frequently asked questions about Mona 7 for Mastodon ### What is Mona 7 for Mastodon?
