Ratings and Reviews
Excellent start
This is an excellent start for a Mastodon client on the Mac. Plus you can't beat the price of free! Please keep up the good work. I particular enjoy able to quickly switch to one of my lists. I would like to make one request. Please make the content font size adjustable. The default font size on my Mac screen is way too small. On iOS devices or Mac laptops they are fine, but not on my desktop Mac. Pleaase consider adding this feature. Thank you so much for a great app.
This would be five stars but for one issue.
Ok #Tusker , ok. This is some strong work. Features I havent seen anywhere else, well organized Settings, and just some really good ideas. LOVE the Digital Wellness settings. Just really thoughtful.
What’s Missing : Can only select images or videos from iPhone’s Photos library. Please add iCloud Drive and other alternate sources.
Gonna put some funds in their tip jar and hope they add alternate image and video file sources like iCloud Drive. … also the draw something thing! That’s neat and I can see myself using that.
A familiar UI
Got the Twitter blues and looking for a way into this Fediverse thing? Try this app and you’ll figure out Mastodon pretty quickly! The UI seems inspired by some of the nicer Twitter apps from the past which should help make it easier to use. The UI for following additional instances is pretty nice, and there are easy ways to manage the tags and such you’re following (something that’s otherwise not very easy to do in most apps yet). Solid initial release!
