tooot - fediverse and Mastodon Hack 4.10.1 + Redeem Codes

I’ve switched over to Tooot because Metatext has stopped updating. The one thing I miss is separating out mentions from general notifications — can you have two tabs like Metatext for that function? I do like the ability to see what hashtags I am following. And the transparency count on posts for boosts and favorites and comments reminds me of Twitter, which I like. It’s a clean interface. Is there any way to add a quote toot feature, like the RT feature in Twitter? Lots of people are asking for it. Although I haven’t tested in the app a preview of a link, if the preview (like Twitter) isn’t yet here, would also like it to be added. Thanks!

Update — could you add the number of times the hashtag is used, instead of just a graph? (When I’m searching for a hashtag.) See Metatext’s hashtag search.

Thank you for making this app. I want to keep using this app but these are my hangups: 1. The text is dull and dark. On dark modes, I’m putting my screen brightness all the way up and then when I go to a different app, it’s so bright! 2. Please allow different colors for the like/love/favorite button. With boosts being green and likes being red, it’s going to have Christmas colors all year round. 3. Dark mode gray is ok but the app feels a bit masculine. One other color option (blue-violet-gray-ish - similar to Mastodon) here would also be nice. 4. Allow people’s profile pics to be expanded. We like to see who we are engaging with! 5. A softer, subtle notification sound like Mastodon’s would be easier on the ears. This app seems like it keeps up with user preferences (bravo) and I love being able to hide boosts sometimes. I hope I can come back and change my rating to a 5 someday. Thank you!

I love this app but the newest update has made it impossible to keep track of notifications. Updating the notifications page actually REMOVES your most recent notifications from view, scrolling back in time four or five notifications; you have to close the app and open it again to see your newest notifications.

On my iPhone, this is probably my favorite way to access Mastodon. The feed looks really nice. It follows my preferences to automatically expand posts with content warnings and always show media. The previews for links are nicely done as well.

It is pretty easy to update to the latest posts by pulling down. I would like to have the latest posts be fetched automatically when starting the app or bringing it to the front, with a button or pop up to allow me to update to the latest posts.

My main gripe is on the iPad. I, like the majority of iPad users, use my iPad primarily in landscape orientation. The app just formats everything using the full width same as on the iPhone. This makes image huge, taking up the whole screen. And line of text are too long, making it harder to read posts. They really need to adjust the layout on the iPad to make it better on the larger screen. Add some white space on each side, perhaps put some options on one side and a dedicated place to write a new post on the other. Take a look at how the Mastodon website is formatted and do something like that.

If they fix the iPad formatting issue, this will be my go to Mastodon app.

It’s just OK. Pics disappear off the screen in landscape mode, which grates on my nerves. You can only search for hashtags. You can’t search for regular words or for users, so it’s hard to get to a point where it feels useful as a way to connect with peeps who are of interest or to stay informed. This makes it volumes less useful than twitter, although the general lack of nasty people is an improvement over twitter. I’m really not that into it, though. Until they allow search as search is traditionally used virtually everywhere else, it’s relatively useless unless you hashtag every word of every toot and everyone else does too… and this is never going to happen. Someone accurately described it as a bar, not a library. I’m looking for a combination of those and this definitely isn’t it.

Most apps are rather congested and confusing. This Mastodon client regards the negative space around the text with equal importance. This makes reading posts and navigation easier.

The only screen that could use a bit more structure is maybe the search screen. Maybe it’s me, but it took a while to figure out where to type on the screen and what is clickable.

Thank you so much for supporting single-sign-on properly, you are the reason our portal has notifications access to phones!! The app is excellent and has my highest recommendation. It works properly and has a broad feature set other apps have somewhat neglected. And open source means you can trust what you're using.

This is a good Mastodon app to use and has a much better user experience than the original Mastodon app. However, the text does not wrap when typing in iPhone 14. The only way to see everything you have typed is to change the screen orientation to landscape and then back to portrait to read what you’ve typed. But once you continue to type, you lose the wrap text again. Very annoying and needs to be corrected ASAP for a good user experience.

Great at standard stuff but also has the unique feature that it loads the replies (and counts) of a post from the original server. This is a known issue with Mastodon itself but it’s great to see an app that works around it.

PS I’m not sure profile stats (like follower counts) are reloaded in the same way though.

I’ve tried all the apps for mastodon and this one is the best. Cleanest interface, looks like an iOS app, has the most features that the website does, I think the only thing it’s missing is being able to apply filters to your local and fedi feeds.
