Question 🙋‍♂️
What is a good iOS app for Mastodon, and why do you like it.
I’m using Tootle right now and am having trouble loading older posts of mine.

Does anyone else have a problem with Metatext where there’s no enter button on the keep to space out text on posts?

@flsounds same question. Please keep me posted if you get suggestions. Thanks.

@flsounds started to use and I like it so far. Not sure if it’s also for ipad or only iphone. But it has way more features compared to the app.

@apinae thank you for the suggestion I’ll have to check it out

@apinae @flsounds I’m also liking it so far and, yes, it runs on iPad from which I’m using it to toot right now.

@pomCountyIrregs @apinae I do like Metatext better than tootle now. Metatext has a better interface and is a little more intuitive.

@flsounds @pomCountyIrregs I also think almost all the functionality from the browser version is available

@flsounds I use MetaText. A bit janky at times (especially with scrolling!) but I generally like it. Home/Local/Federated timelines are easily accessed.
Haven't noticed many slowdowns with old posts or anything.
And a bit superficial but I enjoy the logo. :blobcatoutage:

@flsounds I’m really enjoying Metatext.

I was using the Mastodon app originally and I found it frustrating but just put up with it because I thought it was the only option 🙈

It looks nice, has an “edit” feature (it pastes your message so you can edit it and deletes the original in one go), it loads new toots and notifications quicker.

Let me know what you think if you try it. I wish I’d found it sooner!

@theonlysimonandorgarfunkel the edit feature is great. I personally like tootle and haven’t haven’t tried any others. Metatext would be the one I try though ✌️

@flsounds I hear Tusky is the best but costs a couple bucks. I've been using Metatext.

@RichTate I just had to switch to Metatext because Tootle wasn’t loading replies to your comment. Unfortunately for me Tusky is only on google play. I’ll be looking out for an iOS version though. I don’t mind supporting the creators of Mastodon instances and such.

@flsounds I’ve started using tooot and apart from the fact I sometimes get confused about whether I’m reading mastodon or twitter (especially when there’s lots of RT’s) I like it. It gives me the fedi and the local which I didn’t get using the mastodon app, but you can’t beat using it on the website which for me makes it reminiscent of the early days of social media where you consciously sat down to check social media rather than mindlessly scrolling whilst you wait for something else, especially with the detailed content it makes social media feel less like filler and more satisfying somehow.

@juliacreatesjoy that’s a fantastic description, I feel like my experience here is like old Facebook and what Twitter would be if I would have gotten on board early on. I like the idea of having tweets and toots all in one place if it wouldn’t be to disorganized. Thank you for your comment!

@flsounds it does very much remind me of the early days I was a student then so had more time to spend in those places than I do this one but it’s the consciousness of engagement, people here seem to comment thoughtfully rather than to outrage or gain attention. It’s nice. Not to mention the extended character limit leads to people sharing bigger thoughts. You might be able to tell I’m a big fan.

@juliacreatesjoy I think a lot of us realized how bad things can get so we’re all super grateful for a new start. I’m a fan too.

@flsounds I used the Mastodon app for a couple of days but then moved to #Metatext and love it

@Kemihelwa I haven’t seen anyone who uses tootle yet. I’m liking Metatext myself✌️

@PhilM Metatext is really nice and I like the layout.

@flsounds I was using the default iOS app, but I switched to beta testing Mammoth (sent this Toot using it) and invested in Toot (for iOS). The latter hasn’t been updated for over a year, but is still brilliant.

@rob that’s good to know that there’s is a day one app that is still working brilliantly! Thank you ✌️

@flsounds fir me so far Metatext is best overall, Tooot nicest to look at, I’m hopefull Mammoth (in beta) will develop past the rest.
