## Most critical reviews (7 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — April 2022

*2022-04-17*

I haven’t used this app long, but it seemed to work well, then quickly it changed. Totally broken.  Uninstalled, reinstalled, still broken.

### 2/5 — Can’t refresh the timeline in certain instances.

*2021-04-22*

It’ll constantly give error messages when I try to update the timeline in pleroma instances.

**Developer response:** Sorry, Tootoise was developed as a mastodon client and does not support pleroma.

### 4/5 — Cannot figure out alt-text for photos

*2022-04-30*

This is my one gripe for this app so far. I want to add alt-text to photos when posting, but cannot see an obvious way. Also find it is more difficult to follow and interact with threads on this app compared to previous app I was using. For example, I cannot like from main screen. I have to swipe post then like.

**Developer response:** Thank you for using. v1.18.2 allows you to set the ALT attribute (alternative text) when submitting images.

### 5/5 — I love it but not sure if working completely

*2023-06-01*

This is one of my favourite Mastodon clients but I can’t seem to interact with posts in my feed to see replies or mentions etc. it would also be nice if there was a way to view trending posts and hashtags like in the official app. 

Dev, please let me know if I’m doing something wrong!

### 5/5 — Overall great, but keyboard interface needs to be improved

*2021-12-13*

Hi, when I try to compose my toot, the keyboard window will blink. It will be better if it is more smooth. Thank you!!

### 5/5 — Is it really working?

*2020-08-02*

Srsly cannot see certain user in search result, cannot see the toots of followed accounts’ profiles, cannot see their toots on my timeline. Can be done with another app or the webpage. I don’t think this app works for users on different domains, at lease not for those I was looking for.

### 5/5 — Perfection

*2020-06-24*

Nice interface and it’s user friendly
