Apart from that, amazing app guys, I’ll keep using it. ### 4/5 — Good app but missing a few key features *2023-10-14* Would love to open page links in app with a reader mode. Ability to change font would be awesome too A few of these features would make it great ### 5/5 — My favorite app for Mastodon *2023-06-18* This app is a joy to use. The GUI is slick and satisfying to use overall. Looking forward to seeing how it continues to develop! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Need button bar everywhere, disable animation *2024-09-16* Forces “Markdown” rendering even when original was not written that way. Please choose system font & size as initial setting. Requires too much effort to pick similar combinations. Need to have button bar available everywhere, not just on Home feed; option to not download images, videos; and option to disable animations in profile icon & display name. Please disable edit notifications; do not care at all. Some truncated toots show fewer words than the threshold set for “read more”. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2024-03-01, version 1.2.16* Downloaded, logged in and all I get is a permanent spinning wheel. Deleted, started again, same result. No issues with other Mastodon apps. Looks like I can’t even try it! ### 2/5 — Instance logging in error *2024-12-11* Cannot log in my main instance since latest update, which is accessible using browsers ### 2/5 — iOS notifications do not work at all *2024-11-19* Anyone else having this issue? No push notifications are ever received. Only when you open the app does the last notification show up as a pushed notification. Otherwise, the app is decent. An improvement would be easier access to lists and hashtags one is following and navigating between them. ### 3/5 — Promising but has a number of problems *2025-04-01, version 1.4.1* Adding a second account doesn’t work. Either nothing happens at all or an “error logging in “ message flashes up. Notifications don’t. No way to quickly go to the top of the timeline. ### 3/5 — Need button bar everywhere, disable animation *2024-05-01* Please choose system font & size as initial setting. Requires too much effort to pick similar combinations. Need to have button bar available everywhere, not just on Home feed; option to not download images, videos; and option to disable animations in profile icon & display name. Please disable edit notifications; do not care at all. Some truncated toots show fewer words than the threshold set for “read more”. ### 3/5 — What on earth are the pushpin icons? *2023-09-17* I see your recommendation to use them but have yet to see one to click on. I’m lost. Otherwise your app looks nice. ### 4/5 — Like it *2026-01-29, version 1.4.2* I like this app so much, the design, the profile page… just wondering if developer can add a feature of adjusting font size? Default font size is too small for me ### 4/5 — It’s improving. *2025-06-26, version 1.4.2* Adding a second account now works. Push Notifications don’t. UI isn’t always intuitive but I’m finding my way slowly around it. ### 4/5 — Uploading photos is a pain *2024-05-07* Everything about this app is 5 stars. But there is something about sharing photos that doesn't work. I was able to upload one photo by opening a new post/attachments/photos & long pressing the photo i wanted and hitting “select”. It uploaded easily. Reproducing this does nothing & drops the menu back to the new message. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best Mastodon App *2026-03-19, version 1.4.2* There's a suggestion that the next update (as of 2026-03-19) will be the last. Even so, I'll use this app for Mastodon as long as it works: it's easily the best I've used. ### 5/5 — Near perfect *2025-09-25* If they would add autoplay videos and fix the small amount of markup issues the app would be perfect. Still highly recommend ### 5/5 — This is great, redditlike experience *2025-07-24* Do you want the forum//threads way of viewing things back for mastodon? This is the move, hopefully they implement lemmy a bit, it works surpisingly well, ive always wanted an app that showed microblogging content (twitters, etc.) like forums (reddit, lemmy) ### 5/5 — Beautiful design, solid experience *2024-12-30* One of the most feature complete Mastodon clients. Quote posts, scheduled posting, and more. Plus, it’s a just a darn fun UI design with lots of little pleasantries throughout. Give it a try! ### 5/5 — Still the only app that gets context right *2024-12-11* Now, it could become the only app with a smart tl. One can Hope. Sora app gets that but the ui is lacking. It would be nice to have something simar in trunks. ### 5/5 — Landscape view on iOS! *2024-12-10, version 1.3.8* Beautiful app. Feature-rich. Obviously made with passion ### 5/5 — Context right! *2024-12-03* This is currently the only app that gets the conversations context right! ### 5/5 — Does work *2024-05-30, version 1.2.25* Unlike the other user I had no issues getting set up. Perhaps it was an instance issue? Real review once I’ve tried it out. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2024-01-08, version 1.2.14* Beautiful UI, and very easy to use. But there is no need to tag myself while replying my own thread. ### 5/5 — Landscape view on iOS! *2023-12-03* Beautiful app. Obviously made with passion --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
