Above and beyond
Beyond baffling that Bluesky hasn’t released a first-party tablet app by now, but wouldn’t be a reason to use it anymore after my experience with Skyscraper.
The app is a great balance between minimal, intuitive design and large number of features. Which is great on its own. What really makes it the best out there is the phenomenal support provided by the developer.
I was experiencing an issue with feeds randomly jumping or reloading, sometimes when I went back to a feed after opening a post, and always when I’d check notifications and go back to a feed.
The dev not only reached out on the same day I messaged them, but kept in touch throughout the entire solve, and had it fixed within a few days. And that’s including the fact I had apparently been the only person who’d reported such a problem to begin with!
This app and its dev should win some kind of super App Store award, and you should definitely use this app to make your doomscrolling and cat posting experience the best it’s ever been.

Great app for synced position reading
I enjoy the app as it tracks my reading position in the timeline and syncs it between devices. So this is now my default Bluesky app at this point. Dev is also friendly!

Thank you so much for kind words and glad you enjoy the sync feature. Thanks for choosing Skyscraper to be your Bluesky client of choice!
Amazing bargain
This app handles Bluesky, mastodon and RSS extremely well. This is my go-to app every morning. The developer is also extremely responsive and helpful. I had suggestions and feedback for similar apps, but they were ignored. Skyscraper implemented some of those same suggestions in days. Go ahead and subscribe. It’s worth it.

Thank you so much for the review, so appreciative of the kind words. Please always feel free to send more feedback! Always looking for new features to add to the app.
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.

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!
