### 5/5 — The Best!

*2026-05-25, version 26.0*

This is the best app for Mastodon. I absolutely love it. It’s fun to use, looks and works great.

Please, keep supporting it. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

### 3/5 — Great App overall

*2026-05-18, version 26.0*

Not as up to date as I would like. Markdown support would be cool to at least read other people’s posts who use it n

### 3/5 — no way to see full URLs before going to them

*2026-03-13, version 26.0*

you used to be able to preview a link in-app,  but now the only way to do so is to long-press on the URL, copy it, and paste it somewhere else (like Notes or whatever).  Would be nice to quickly review a URL so I can know what I'm potentially tapping on. using iOS 17 fwiw.

### 3/5 — Doesn't work any longer on iphone 14ProMax and iOS 26

*2026-02-06, version 26.0*

Used to be my favorite but after upgrading to 26 the app no longer opens and just sits on the loading screen and eventually times out... Very sad to have lost this tool...

### 5/5 — Gut durchdachte App und hübsche Animationen

*2026-02-02*

Bin neu auf iOS und habe einige opensource Apps vermisst, aber zumindest für Mastodon bin ich nun besser dran als vorher! Richtig gut durchdachte App. Nutze Listen und liebe, wie leicht ich sie im Home Feed wechseln kann. Außerdem auch super hübsch gestaltet alles!

Zwei Vorschläge: mir fehlt zu sehen, mit welcher Sichtbarkeit ich schon gepostete Toots versehen hatte. Und: könnte bei den Profil-Einzelviews noch stehen, wieviele Posts schon gemacht wurden? Vielen Dank für diese super App!

### 3/5 — Glass downgrade

*2026-01-17, version 26.0*

Glass "update" which adds more taps and hide buttons from the bottom of the screen which is reserve exclusively for buttons to be pressed

### 5/5 — Widget please

*2026-01-03*

Almost perfect app but if u can add widget its perfect!

### 4/5 — Nice new look, but one bug needs fixing

*2025-12-05, version 26.0*

Sharing an image has stopped working. Long press on an expanded image does bring up a menu, but when you press ‘share’ nothing happens. It should bring up a list of apps to share with.

### 5/5 — App is a gift that keeps on giving

*2025-12-04, version 26.0*

I just realised that the notification sound is custom, brilliant 😂 (phone’s normally on silent).  The “toot” animation is best enjoyed with 1 bar of reception.  The app is faster and caches data better than the official app.

### 5/5 — Updated for iOS 26!

*2025-12-02, version 26.0*

My favorite mastodon client is back!
