### 3/5 — Stuttery scrolling?

*2026-07-20*

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.

### 4/5 — Best BlueSky app for iPad but Mediocre

*2026-07-01*

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.

### 3/5 — Still less good than the web interface

*2026-06-30*

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?

I really wanted a good iPad app for Bluesky, but this isn’t it.

### 3/5 — Functional, but not there yet

*2026-06-28, version 1.29.4*

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.

### 4/5 — Auf iPad super

*2026-06-20*

Aber letztes Update brachte Klipy 👍- was bei mir nicht funktioniert👎 Suchfenster bleibt leer

### 4/5 — Decent experience

*2026-06-19*

Still like it. Edit not working for me. Can open an edit window but not save?

I’m on iPad and this seems a preferable experience to either the iPhone app turned on its side or the official web app! Surprised the reviewers are not better. Not really sure why I’ve not gone to 5 stars… perhaps later,
Meanwhile, minor suggestion (along with a lot of thanks to the creators):
In the settings where you toggle on or off…. It says “Toggle No to…”. They are toggles… with my presumably diverse brain that is not obvious since there is no “yes” or “no”. Simple replacement with the words “on” or “off” would be more intuitive to me with those toggle switches?

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2026-06-14, version 1.29.3*

I wish klippys could autoplay.

### 3/5 — Great app, but it stopped working after migrating to a PDS

*2026-06-13, version 1.29.3*

I love this bluesky client, but after I moved to a new PDS from bsky.social. I can’t seem to login anymore. It seems to be very bent on continuing to login to bsky.social. I also can’t seem to login to my alternate account hosted on the PDS I moved my old account from.

### 3/5 — It’s fine…BIG missing features

*2026-06-07, version 1.29.2*

This is a reasonably well thought out app. But it has some HUGE missing features. You cannot mute a thread OR a user. You can block a user, but not mute them. That’s a huge problem to me. Otherwise it seems to work fine. I’m downgrading it for this huge missing feature.

### 4/5 — Einer der besten Clients mit Schwächen

*2026-06-03*

Skeets ist eine der besten BlueSky Apps, die ich kenne. Leider gibt es hin und wieder Probleme. So wird man regelmäßig ausgeloggt und hat Probleme sich wieder einzuloggen. Auch merkt sich der Client oft nicht die Lese Position und man springt viele Post zurück, wenn man die App wieder öffnet.

### 2/5 — gotta pay for basic features

*2026-05-16, version 1.29.2*

also it keeps showing me reposts when I have it turned off

### 3/5 — Mostly okay

*2026-05-11, version 1.29.2*

Some extremely basic features like bookmarking are behind a paywall, and threads in the timeline are nearly useless

### 2/5 — Bugs

*2026-05-06*

So many bugs with this app. It’s constantly crashing

### 3/5 — Buggy

*2026-04-30, version 1.29.2*

I want to like it. I liked it more, but I cannot clear the adjust width bug that creates constant pop ups and makes usage stuttery.

### 2/5 — App does not save settings

*2026-04-20, version 1.29.0*

Every time I open the app I have to turn off the show replies settings. There is no option to save my settings.

### 3/5 — Good app but keeps signing me out

*2026-04-16*

Have used this for a couple of years and paid for the upgrades, seems very buggy recently and keeps me signing me out of Bluesky and is a pain with 2FA to get back in

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2026-04-16*

Far too pricey … for an average app

### 2/5 — Waiting for improvements

*2026-04-15*

There are some things I enjoy about the app, but it has a few glitches that make it inconvenient and not worth the effort of ignoring in order to continue using. I contacted the dev via Bluesky DM and let them know that I deleted the app and cancelled my subscription, after contacting them about the same issue a few months ago. Maybe I’ll try again after they work more bugs out. 

For those interested, two things that I did not care for were the way lists don’t appear as true feeds - they just spear as a literal list where you have to click on each member to see their posts, which defeats the purpose of lists! For some reason this only seems to happen on self-created lists. The other issues of the return key on the on-screen keyboard disappearing when replying (and sometimes when posting). Not sure what’s going on there, but I don’t want to type one long stream-of-consciousness post. I want the ability to create space, separate my text from a link, etc. there may be other works but these were the most annoying to me :o)

### 3/5 — “Save To Photos” doesn’t work

*2026-03-24, version 1.27.1*

Fix it and I’ll give back a star.

### 3/5 — New bug

*2026-03-23*

Some kind of bug: Repeatedly logs out. Non functional. Cancelled subscription.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Can no longer log in

*2026-08-12, version 1.30.0*

it kicked me out saying “token expired” and now it times out when trying to log back in

### 1/5 — Buggy, no response from dev

*2026-07-10*

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.

### 1/5 — Token Has Expired

*2026-06-28, version 1.29.4*

‘Token has expired…’ 
So has this app… 
Deleted!

### 1/5 — Junk and sketchy

*2026-05-30, version 1.29.2*

I subscribed for 1 month then immediately cancelled. Where are the saved posts from the web app? Not a feature of skeets so the developer can monetize something that is offered for free in bluesky. No thanks, I will continue to use the web app.  Shameful. The interface is nice but I use other apps on other devices and this willl not work. Save your money

### 1/5 — No longer displays image only posts

*2026-05-20, version 1.29.2*

The only reason I started to use skeets is because it was supposed to show only posts with images. That is no longer the case, there is not even an option for it.

And the feed settings you select do not save, you have to change them every time the app restarts.

This was a great app when it started, now it is time to find something else.

### 1/5 — You made the crashing problem worse

*2026-04-22*

The last version was unstable and crshed a lot. This version made it so much worse wth

### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2026-03-23, version 1.27.1*

Every attempt to log in leads to a pop up that reads: “Your Session has expired. Please log in again.”

### 1/5 — Ugh

*2026-01-07*

No one asked for Apple Intelligence integration, and no one needs the random dice machine to explain a two sentence post. That is embarrassing.

### 1/5 — Can’t Long-Press Links?!!

*2025-12-10, version 1.26.0*

What a baffling thing not to support. 

It’s pretty much what I need a social media app to support so this app is useless to me.

### 1/5 — From Pretty Good to Bad

*2025-12-08, version 1.26.0*

I was only using this because the main Bluesky app didn’t have a “hold your place” in the timeline setting. This one does…and it’s not locked behind a sub. You gotta make your money and I get it, but it’s not something I’m willing to pay for. Back to the main app it is I suppose.

### 5/5 — Thanks for the quick bug fix!

*2026-08-12*

I was affected by a recent crashing bug and really appreciate how quickly it was fixed. I prefer this client to all others I’ve tried.

### 5/5 — :O

*2026-06-13*

Clean interface, easy to navigate, and in a lot of ways is a lot easier and better to use than the official website and app. Pretty much a must have if you use bsky on iPad

### 5/5 — Perfect :)

*2026-06-06, version 1.29.2*

Love this app

### 5/5 — Accessible

*2026-04-06, version 1.28.0*

As a blind iOS voiceover user, I can say that this app is the reason I am now enjoying BlueSky.

### 5/5 — Melhor do que a nota diz, mas pode melhorar

*2025-10-14*

Escrevendo esse review, a nota do aplicativo está em 3,0, o que é um pouco injusto. Ele não é perfeito e tem sim problemas, mas merecia algo perto de 4,5 a 4,7.

Sugestão ao dev: Posts de uma
mesma thread devem aparecer uma vez apenas na skyline. Atualmente, uma pessoa que posta uma thread com dois posts tem primeiro o post inicial exibido sozinho, e em sequência (de baixo para cima) o segundo post aparece junto ao primeiro numa thread. Quando o primeiro post aparecer repetido na skyline dentro de uma thread, a primeira aparição dele deveria ser removida…

### 5/5 — The current best

*2025-10-01, version 1.25.0*

Impressive, especially from a single dev. Sebastian was responsive and helpful when I reached out. Timeline sync is imperfect but generally works quite well.

### 5/5 — Best Bluesky client

*2025-08-14*

Great app!

### 5/5 — Timeline issue is fixed

*2025-06-29, version 1.23.6*

As of mid June 2025, the timeline updates work well again.

### 5/5 — Beste Alternative für Voiceover-Nutzende!

*2025-05-27*

Bluesky selbst ist für Blinde absolut ungeeignet, vieles ist lästig, manches geht gar nicht ... Aber Dank Skeets kann BS wirklich gut und komfortabel genutzt werden. Danke, dass auf Screenreader Accessibility geachtet wird.

### 5/5 — It’s a good client for Bluesky, but it would need some improvements…

*2025-04-14, version 1.23.2*

Do you think you could add a feature where you can edit your pfp and banner and make the app more smoother?
