Truly native bsky app

As far as I can tell, this is about the only native client for Bluesky on iOS. It's at least the most customizable. I've never been able to settle on a 3rd party bsky client until someone suggested I try this. I don't even like using the official site on desktop anymore. You get custom themes, plenty of settings to change what you see on the timeline, automatic translation... one of my faves is the ability to show only a little thumbnail for images. This is peak 3rd party Twitter app before Elon ran it all into the ground. Absolutely love this. Actively maintained too — the biggest plus. I will say, one option I would like is to *not* save the timeline position. I like seeing a fresh feed every time and being able to pull to refresh and go straight to the top/latest.

Update: this is a very very minor gripe lol I'm actually getting used to tapping the "x posts above" button the more I use it.

Response from developer

Thank you for the very kind comments and review! Glad you are enjoying Skyscraper! I will take a look at adding some sort of option for the feeds to always pull latest. May be a bit of work with how I built the app, but I’ll see what I can do!

Works!

I was looking for a client that synced across platforms and that returned me to where I left off rather than shoot me to the last posting. And I generally works!

Response from developer

Glad you’re enjoying Skyscraper! If you ever have any issues, feel free to shoot me a message from the feedback function in settings!

Keeps getting better!

If you use Bluesky on a Mac, iPad or iPhone, you need this app!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the review, it's greatly appreciated! Glad you love the new Mac release!

Nice but frustrating

This is a really nice looking native ipad bluesky app... When it works. The problem is that it repeatedly asks you to sign in over and over and over again. If I'm gonna have to resign into bluesky every time I use the app, then I'm just not going to use it anymore.

Response from developer

Hey there and thanks for using Skyscraper. Bluesky’s OAuth implementation limits the amount of time an account can be logged in, and requires consistent token refreshes. This can be a problem on iOS where an app can’t live persistently in the background and refresh automatically. If you have this issue, we recommend you consider creating an app password on the Bluesky app/website, and login using this instead. This login method can persist much longer and resolve this issue for you.

Pretty dang good. Just needs one fix.

Okay new problem. It logged me out and says I have to log back in. Why? This is a cool alternative to the Bluesky app. It takes a little to get adjusted to. But, I just noticed something. Under Notifications, it was something like John Doe and x Others followed you. But, when you tap it, it only shows John Doe’s profile and doesn’t show a list of the other x people.

Edit July 13th: FYI, this has been fixed and is pushed to the store in version 1.5.1! Hey there, thanks for the review! That was a slight change in the latest release and probably needs more granularity. I’ll work on fixing it in the next release. Thanks for checking out Skyscraper and thanks for the review!
