Does not work
nice app!
Response from developer
Hi, Developer here 🙋♂️Thank you so much for using my app! I’m glad you are having a good experiencing flying Bluesky with SoraSNS! ✨ I’m sorry about the issue on Apple Watch. 😯Usually credential information is synced securely using iCloud Keychain. If you follow up with me on Discord (join first then DM or mention me), I’ll be happy to walk with you step-by-step to diagnose and fix the issue. I’ll also perform more testing on Bluesky accounts for Apple Watch and see where the issue is. Maybe I’ll add an app specific password login on Apple Watch so it’s easier (since presenting the webpage is a little bit inconvenient on the watch). Let me know what you think!💭 Best, Developer of SoraSNS
Nagging for pro
You asked for suggestions, do not have anything in the ui that if clicked makes you pay for pro and doesnt let you use it, have one tab for pro, nothing else should lead you to that, the ui is already laggy, I accidentally click a menu option not related to pro and I get a fat popup telling me to pay for features. Pro should be optional and burried in a menu, there shouldnt be 10 different menu items that dont function and lead you to a payment page.

Hi, Thanks for your input! I’m sorry if this makes your experience with SoraSNS less favorable! Like most other iOS Fediverse apps, this app contains in-app purchase to enable certain features. If you let me know which features you are looking to use in specific that triggered the purchase alert, I would make these features free or paid only after several days of usage. I will also be happy to explore the option of free trail subscription, which offers you a way to try the features for a month. Please feel free to use the community Discord to provide me a feedback and share your thoughts!
Too flashy
Response from developer
Hi, Please consider joining the community Discord group and let me know what went wrong and what could be improved. I’m always happy to implement any new features to make the app works the best for you and everyone. For example, a user wanted cross post support and I added it within 2 days to allow you to post to Mastodon, Misskey, and Bluesky at once! However, without such details, there’s sadly nothing I can help. I’m looking forward if you can give SoraSNS another chance. Best, Dev of SoraSNS

An ambitious mess
Response from developer
Thank you for your input! Rest assured, I’ll continue to work hard to improve the design of the app! ;—) And please feel free to try SoraSNS again in the future!
Great concept, but
Gets TL right!

Thank you very much for your review and kind words! I am happy to know the local algorithm is working for you and featuring posts you like! In the next update, I will add a logic where it surfaces replies and comments from your friends and put them in your timeline. It will also feature a redesign where you can easily view trending topics using horizontal scrolling blocks on top of the timeline tab. Please feel free to provide feedbacks, report issues, and/or directly message me by joining the Discord group. SoraSNS is one of my long term projects and I aim to continuously improve it based on the feedbacks. With many new features planned and releasing soon! Best, Developer of SoraSNS MszPro

Functional but cluttered
Perfect Fediverse & Bluesky experiences on VisionPro, great video reel and for you feed ❤️
Awesome app
Great app, held back by performance issues
But yeah, I have trouble getting the like button to click, and after being open for a minute or more it reallly starts to lag. Maybe it’s because I’m on a iPhone SE 2020, but it’s frustrating enough that it keeps SoraSNS from being my go-to, despite its greatness
Response from developer
Hi, Thank you very much for taking your precious time to write this positive review! Your kind words gave me energy to keep taking SoraSNS forward with new features and bug fixes. In the recent update V12.0.1, many of the UI issues are addressed. Please try out the newest version. If you see any other issues or are looking for a feature that does not yet exist, please feel free to chat with me directly in the community Discord, mention me on Fediverse, or email me. I aim to make this app the best for every user. In the upcoming versions, more issues will be fixed, and new features like Misskey antenna, Bluesky reply control, Bluesky DM, Nostr support, etc will be added. Best, Developer of SoraSNS @MszPro
Making Mastodon more interesting to explore!
It’s algorithmic I know but it’s local so that’s far more advanced than other SNS apps.
One feature I hope is Nostr support. And also different interests grouping for different accounts. For now it’s kind of shared between all my accounts.
Crashes a lot on Apple Watch
Completely broken
Solid

Thanks for your review! Saving a photo shouldn’t require a subscription. You can tap the share menu (the last icon button in picture viewer) and tap the save image button. The HD button for showing a high definition photo does require a subscription in the current version. However, I’ll double check and remove all paywalls around this in the next update. At any time, feel free to provide your feedbacks in the official Discord group or by mentioning me on the Fediverse!
Neat app with some minor quibbles
As it stands now, my main issue with the app is that on an iPhone 12 mini, it feels very cramped, and the large text size doesn’t help. Everything feels too big for the screen, and some things, such as the sort button in the top bar, are misaligned. It would be great if these UI issues can be fixed.
Just keep updating it forever ty
Response from developer
Thank you so much for your kind review! Positive words like yours help me stay motivated and add more and more features into my apps. In the next update V9.0 of Sora, there’ll be a major UI redesign for discovery tab, with featured tag carousels, real-time search, and more. The speed of post rendering has improved. No more 429 errors. There’s also a Sora Profile, which allows you to create your own online profile page, included in Sora Pro service. At any time, please let me know about your feedbacks via Discord or mentioning me. Enjoy the Fediverse! Sora Dev and Dev Assistant MagiCat
