Much improved since my last review, but I'm getting a persistent bug where my feed fails to load past a half dozen posts or so. Force closing and reopening the app will usually fix the problem. It seems to be caused by disabling boosts from showing. If I have boosts visible, the timeline loads as expected.
Best Mastodon app

I have tried many apps for Mastodon, including paid ones, and this is the one that wins out of all of them. The fact you can run it on MacOS, iPad and iPhone, the integration of features such as translations, and the overall look and feel of the app are incredible. It also makes it super easy to look at other areas outside of your timeline such as general searches and news. Just a stellar app, cannot recommend it enough. Best daily driver for Mastodon out there.
Fails to setup account
I already have a nickname
It just got stuck accessing the URL for my mastodon server. I checked and the site and server are up and running perfectly. The official Mastodon client and other third-party clients had no trouble setting up access to my account.This app also loaded some off-color posts in the background, visible before I had even setup my account. It would be preferable if it didn't decide to load posts visible on my screen before I setup what I want to be seeing.Finally, it tried to connect without asking permission to a site called revenuecat that seems to manage app subscriptons. I didn't sign up for any subscriptions and any connection to a server should be with my explicit permission only. This is Trojan horse behavior.
Really excellent mastodon app!
artly flubbly
This is the best mastodon app I've tried, and I've tried a lot! It has all the features I want, and many I hadn't thought of, it's slick and quick and speedy: I haven't hit any bugs: and it's open source! And it has a voluntary donation funding model! Seriously, IMHO there is no better mastodon app for iOS currently. Huge kudos to the developer for doing such a great job.
- Fixed a crash when sharing a post as an image.
