App challenges but great tech support
The developer reached out swiftly to offer help. I posted this on a week when there have been a couple family emergencies, so the only reason it's not 100% fixed yet is because I'm slow make use of the offered support -- but the developer is friendly, helpful, professional, patient, and has made easy support resolution available to me that I'm sure will work out well as I make use of more of the resources.

After additional info from the user, we discovered the issue. The problem is with Friendica and two-factor authentication. Currently, there is a bug where Friendica doesn't redirect back to the app, preventing us from being able to finish authorization. The problem was reported to Friendica. While we wait for a fix, the app was updated to include a warning with an explanation to inform anyone else who could run into the same problem.
Possibly malicious
I'm looking for an ios/ipados app that will let me log into my mastodon, lemmy, pixelfed, friendica, peertube, etc accounts so to have a unified feed for all my fediverse servers. If this can't let me even log into a single account, then it's light years away from getting my money for a crummy app not even out of beta.

Thank you for the info and sorry for the problem. This definitely shouldn’t be happening. Please contact me via mail (pipilo@thanel.me) with additional information and together we might find the cause of the issue. Usually the flow looks like this: When you sign in from the app it opens login page on your instance of choice. Once logged in here, the page redirects you to page where you have to press “yes” to authorize. This will then cause web page to close internal browser and redirect you back to app with necessary info. All of that is happening outside my control. If it is not working like this for you there might be something preventing it. A few more details might help. What page appears for you instead, does authorization screen appear, where does the webpage redirect you after login? In all the attempts was the flow always the same? Did you try signing out on the webpage first and then trying again? Alternatively you might want to try signing to other services you mentioned first, perhaps only this specific account is problematic? I’m unfortunately unable to reproduce this problem myself. I created an account on my-place.social and could login to the app correctly.
Superbly done
Highly recommended 👍.
Almost Perfect!
As a feature request, I’d REALLY like to be able to dismiss sheet modals with the swipe-down gesture. The rest of the gesture-driven UI is EXCELLENT.
Response from developer
Thank you, as of version 1.4 all modal screens support swipe-down to dismiss gesture.
Notifications
EDIT: I changed to 5 stars. Very well made app and responsive developer. The horizontal feed, along with how notifications are handled, makes this a one of a kind mastodon app. Highly recommend.
Response from developer
Thank you for the feedback. Notifications are available starting with version 1.1.
