A couple little bugs need to be worked out. The delayed timer for posting doesn't work. It's a wonderful feature, but I've tried it three times and it has failed to work. Also, in the followers column, it doesn't tell you if you're following them back like how it does on the website. Another thing, when I post a video from YouTube, the app takes you to YouTube instead of playing the video inside the app. I like the website better for this. Otherwise, it seems okay.
Image scaling is very poor in the main timeline, often leaving blobby messes. No error messages when my instance is down. I wish it had better search for people I follow and my followers with (weirdly, I can type a user handle into a new post and sometimes find people that way). There isn't a way to require alt text before posting images, so you'll likely get nagged by other users to add that. The app is also very poor about consolidating notifications, cumbersome with popular posts.
While I am still liking this app better then Fedilab and the interface seems far more polished and there's less waiting for stuff to happen I have also now run into the app losing my timeline location at times and it is quite annoying. Right now it's only a 1 star deduction but if it happens more frequently it likely will mean leaving the app for me.
Rating the app 3 and a half stars cuz there are a few problems I had. There is no edit button for posts on the app (like on the web version). I wish when you reply to someone you can see their message from above. I wish you can make threads for posts. had problems trying to upload gifs too since I don't know what the size limit is for those, it wont let me post them.
I've been using Tusky for more than two years. I don't think there's a more reliable app for the Fediverse out there. I took a brief break in the middle to try Tootdon and it only hammered home how good Tusky is. It's continually kept up with new Mastodon features and is incredibly reliable. I don't think you can do better for Android Fediverse clients.
I do like this app, which is why I've stuck with it so long, but there is a HUGE bug. Sometimes, when typing in a hashtag or an @, the lookup feature makes the whole app crash, sometimes even making my whole phone crash and I have to reboot. Please can you investigate and fix this bug? For example, every time I tried to add my peertube handle into a post, the whole app crashed and I had to copy paste from a text editor.
Likely the best Android app for Mastodon. It's a very clean easy and attractive design. It has a pretty good range of options and features. And it is truly free: no ads and not even a donate button. It is missing some features. Looking at following of somebody on a different server usually fails. There's no edit button, only delete and re-draft. Perhaps the biggest for me: there's no way to see what's trending.
I think this is probably the best Mastodon app for Android, and works well with GoToSocial. However, the image viewer is very poor because it doesn't seem to render the full resolution image, resulting in fuzziness if you zoom in. This seems like a trivial fix to me, so it's weird given that the rest of the app is so good. I can't find a way to save a search and then quickly switch to a timeline with the search results.
It's OK. Lets me get to other sites easier. Some images are lost. (When I added 5 images to a post, while creating said post I only got to see 3 images and when it was posted I only saw 4 until I went and clicked on the images) Also, after a certain word count in post creation all text gets deleted. I'm not sure if it's deleted-deleted or just not able to be viewed but it can get people off track easily.
The app is great. Just one request for future updates: Could you please give us a share option for links in toots? Right now there is no easy way to save a link to read-it-later apps. I have to open it in a browser and use the browser's sharing option. In Talon, a twitter app I use, holding the url opens a menu which lets you chose whether to open it in internal/external browser or to share it. I can pick "always share with" and then it's just two steps for me to save a link to my read-it-later app.
Most of the time when I return to the app, the scroll position has skipped many messages and I have to scroll down a long way to find my place. Absolutely my biggest problem with the app, otherwise stable.
I've been using Tusky for Mastodon for almost a year and can honestly say that its interface is amazing compared to most others. It makes thing extremely user friendly even for beginners.
Been using it since the enshittification of reddit API. The app works great. Intuitive and responsive interface, all the features I wanted are there.
Tusky works superbly well for one account. For devs: It has a menu option to add another account, but when I added another account from a different instance, it would not allow me to connect to the second, and I lost access to the first account (error message: email and password invalid). Both were accessible through their respective web interfaces, so it seems like a Tusky issue. Reverted to one account only and it worked fine. Thanks to the community!
the best I've found. main thing for me is customisation. being able to add tabs (hashtags mainly), and rearrange the main ones(home,notice etc).
cannot open an account they hate VPN's complete non starter for me!
I really love this app! It does its job well and its limitations are worked around in a way that's fair (ie: showing incomplete off-server accounts, but giving you an option to view rhe full thing in your browser) Only reason I haven't marked it 5 stars is it lacks a DM tab like the website does, making it hard to find your messages (you have to scroll through your notifications to get there and find the most recent message)
Great appa for Mastodon. Only issue I have with it is that on a s23u, after coming out of do not disturb mode, all the notifications what would have come in during the do not disturb period flood in all at once and Tusky does not group them up. Not sure if it's an app thing, or a Samsung thing, but it's the only app I have that does this.
I'm rating it 3 stars because it doesn't have a Direct Message tab, which the web implements, and the button sensitivity is too strict. If I tap slightly off left or right of the boost button's pixels, or the like button's pixels, I end up loading a toot and it wasn't what was intended. The trigger area of the buttons should be larger, at least horizontally. edit: learned the buttons are being addressed, 4 stars!
A good app, and the devs respond relatively quickly to bugs. Earlier issues I had are all solved, adding a star.
