Stuttery scrolling?
I think this is just about the best bluesky app there is right now. But something is causing some really bad stuttering during the scroll. I’m not sure what. Admittedly I’m not on a very powerful iPhone (12 mini) but every other bluesky app scrolls perfectly.
… also if bookmarks are to be a paid feature, we should have an option to just hide the button. It’s a little annoying. (didn’t they recently add native bookmarks to bluesky anyways? Shouldn’t we switch to those?)
And finally, the ellipsis menu on posts are *way* too easy to trigger. If I tap to stop a scroll over one of those buttons it will open the menu. That shouldn’t be, buttons shouldn’t tap on scroll stop imo.

Buggy, no response from dev
The app has had a critical bug for weeks - every time you refresh your timeline it defaults to including replies. Has to be turned off manually every single time. Emailed developer, no response received. Appalling for an app that I pay for.
Best BlueSky app for iPad but Mediocre
There are signs of greatness about this app, but there’s missing or faulty functionality. There’s no ‘camera’ option. You can only pick images from your existing camera roll. Lately the GIF picker dialog window has ceased showing ANY images at all.
Still less good than the web interface
I really wanted to like this app, and have used it on and off for months, but I think I’ll be deleting it.
You can post pictures properly now, which is great, but frankly the native app does a better job with alt text, letting you see a bigger version of the image as you write.
The iPad orientation is also great. But… the option to not see boaosts doesn’t work, and that’s a really important setting for me. You can’t save drafts on the free version, though both native app and web interface let you do that for free, and why would I pay for a Pro version when already the free version is less good than other free options?

Functional, but not there yet
It works, but I haven’t found a compelling reason to use this over the official app.
Also, charging for feature that are free on the official app, like post notifications, feels sleazy.
